Wow...you did go two days!

My 68 shelby i shouldaneversold was like the lime green one.

I bounced between the Mazda3 GT....the FiestaST. ..the Fit...and the Yaris. Post show and with one email each only...i got at 17900 quote on a 5 speed SE Yaris (1-3mo order time) from Don Magill Toyota....and $17,041k flat on a 6speed Fit EX at Spring Branch Honda.

The FiestaST is such a bargain!

I wonder if dealerships were allotted particular times to be 'on the floor' I spent a fair amount of time around the yellow Fit. A Honda person asked me questions. He was an older but fairly new to the dealership sales rep from Community Honda in Baytown. He said he didn't know why they had just the base sticker price with no other price on the yellow one. He said their dealership is selling the Fit, equipped exactly like that, for over $18k (over 2k more). A lady walked up while I was talking to this rep and said she has a 2007 Fit with 150k+ miles and it has been flawless. She rattled off the dizzying array of items she has transported in her Fit. She said in about 6 months she'll have her new home AC paid off and she'll then trade in her Fit for a new Fit. She lives in Angleton and said her commute = 60 miles per day. Another lady was thinking of replacing her 10 year old Matrix with a new Fit.

I liked the layout of the Mazda3 interior from the driver's perspective. One thing I would worry about in our climate...the screen on the top of the dash. Two other manufacturers (IIRC, Mercedes and Audi/VW) have that set up, EXCEPT that the screen retracts inside the dash. I think our SE Texas heat would be very hard on the Mazda's non retractable screen.

Feature wise per dollar, definitely....that loaded one with the moonroof...a bit over 23k. The seats in the Fiesta ST and the Chevy Trax . The Yaris and Fit seats were comfortable, but one would definitely notice a difference with the Fiesta ST and the Chevy Trax.

I really have reservations though re how the Fiesta ST would hold up over time.

Two other trends I noticed and liked. One, more vehicles with the reclining rear seat like my '07 Yaris....the Prius V, the Acura MDX. and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit come to mind in that regard...but I know there were others. Two, 'double passenger side glove boxes...think Gen 2 Yaris'.....the Chevy Trax, the Prius V, and full size GM produced pick ups come to mind...but I know there were others.
