Goodbye Red

Red is dead. My car--Red Schoendienst--is permanently parked due to a major problem that will cost more to fix than it's worth. Red's been with me for 7 years. It's seen me graduate college, start my first job, and then my second job. It's taken me to places like Dallas and Kansas City and Detroit. I hate to say this, but saying goodbye to this car means I'm saying goodbye to a chunk of my life. I'm saying goodbye to college life and first jobs and starting out on my own.

I'd love to hear your favorite memories of my Red Schoendienst. And I'd also love to hear your advice on what I should buy. My thinking right now is that I'd like a Honda Civic/Toyota Corolla/Mazda 3-type car that's used, if possible.

I bought a Mazda3 sport 4-door sedan. I really love my car. The only downfalls of the car are:
1) Road noise is a little high
2) No room in the back(I did but a compact sedan though, didn't I)
3) not a whole lot of trunk space(compact sedan comment,again)

When I keep my foot out of it, I get at least 29-31 mpg. Factory stereo sounds good. When you need it, it's got the power. Bonus, Euro designing gets some stares. I hope this helps.
