New from CA

Postby RichJ » Thu Feb 23, 2012 9:14

Hey guys,
I'm from San Francisco and I'm a very active autocrosser. I currently race an SM prepped Mitsubishi Evo, but I'm looking at options for a new daily driver. Hopefully I'll see some of you autocrossers at National Tours or Nationals in the fall!

- Rich

Here's a pic of the car at Laguna Seca a couple months ago...

Welcome. Are you FROM SF, or are you IN SF?
Also, may I recommend the Mazda 3 for your daily commutes?





And get a sedan. Better than hatches :)

Less room, uglier, and I do believe the hatch has the bigger engine standard? I'll take the 3 hatch any day!

SILENCE, Subie-boy!
Besides, you drive a sedan too.

If you look closely... that's a sedan as well...

I'm not saying all sedans are ugly. I'm saying that the 3 sedan (in my opinion) is ugly (at least, the rear does. It looks like it was supposed to be longer then got smashed in), especially compared to the hatch 3. And the hatch 3 does have the 2.3L engine standard I believe instead of the 2.0L. And my Legacy sedan looks better than your 3 sedan :p I would have rather had a 6 hatch too though for more room and the rear wiper.
