Yeah it is that time of year. How do you like the CX3? Looked at those for the wife.

I would highly recommend it.

We have had our All Wheel Drive base model since May 2017. Leased it for 5 years. Zero Problems, have only had to change the oil. A responsive 2.0 liter 4 , excellent fuel economy and it is a charm to parallel park downtown due to it's compact size.

When our lease is up we'll get another CX3.

Leasing makes sense for us cause since May 2nd, 2017 we have only racked up 18,000 kilometers.

Another Mazda advantage is their unlimited mileage warranty. 3 years unlimited kilometers bumper to bumper and 5 years unlimited kilometers on power-train.

Mazda gets extra power and fuel economy from a small 2 liter with their Sky Active Technology. 145 HP and 145 Ft Lbs of Torque. The Compression ratio is 13.5 to 1.

The vehicle only weighs 2900 pounds.
 
Thanks for the info. Definitely will be looking at the Mazda lunup soon and all wheel drive is a must. Yeah the skyactiv motor is an awesome motor. My sons Mazda 3 has it and when we drove it out west I was super impressed with the gas mileage we got.

Travelled with a co-worker for a few years that drives a CX-5 and that runs pretty good too, dynamic ride and pretty good on fuel as well but a touch bigger than the 3 and more bucks. Still a good option if you could get a decent deal on one ??

Yeah the CX5 is a nice one as well. Like you say a little bit bigger but not too bad. So many nice vehicles out there that's for sure. Hard to pick.
 
photo2932.jpg Put the green one away on Halloween ?. In case you were wondering the other cars belong to a friend of mine, the left one is a 1967 GTO, then my one, a 1963 Vette, and the last spot is for the 1980 DeLorean.

My youngest Son that lives in Newfoundland bought a new CX5 Limited 2 years ago. He loves it.
 
Our Power went out at home at 11 Saturday night. generator has been running since 7:30 Sunday morning. This morning on my way out of sub-division on way to work, I saw a big NB Power truck at the end of the street. Hopefully they'll have us back on the grid today.

Less that a month ago the power was off one day for 7 hours. Thank God for Briggs and Stratton. :FordSmile
 
Yah, windy up here too but obviously not as much as Southeast.
Saw news coverage of downed trees in Riverview/Moncton and some parts of NS.
Hopefully everyone back on grid soon.
They say more wind tomorrow but should not be as bad.
Positive thoughts.
 
Ok. I know it hasn't been long in the fall yet but does anyone have any vids from this year to post ? Spring dyno trip , quarter mile / track days, fall run ( Charlie, did you get any good drive bys near the end ?) Car shows, Nationals evening cruise , etc . Anything !
