A few weeks ago had a discussion with the wife about getting closer to buying (or trying to?) a BRZ and, while reconciled to limited space inside, wondered about alternatives, and the Mazda3 5-door has some positive features -- and negative ones. Too tall and too heavy, and too many doors, but a hatch and more room, and Mazdas are often entertaining to drive. It would be the least-sporting car for her in almost 40 years.
And they have a nice crimson metallic paint she likes, and a cream/taupe-looking interior (she hates black interiors), and there's a manual transmission. Alas, you cannot get all three on the same car. That's just too many compromises to make, so back to the BRZ...
