Hey gang, long time lurker, first time poster - I just picked up my 2015 Green Envy FiST today!!
LONG story short, had a 2014 PerfBlue FoST that I loved, but ended up with a back injury, and due to the Recaros and manual trans, I had to bite the bullet and trade it in after only a year - I got an automatic 2015 Mazda 3 sTouring hatch. Nice car, but it just wasn't me, and after driving stick for almost 30 years, I could NOT get used to driving automatic! I can't tell you how many near misses I've had in the past 6 months, because while it's a nice car, the Mazda just wouldn't stop like an ST would!
So I took advantage of the 0% financing for 72mos and the $1750 cash back, and bit another bullet and traded in the 6mo old Mazda on my FiST! This is the car I should have gotten in the first place, it just feels RIGHT.
Green Envy, sunroof and nav - wanted rado grey wheels but couldn't find one with them, so it's Plasti-Dip for me. I literally spent all day today just tooling around the area, getting to know the car, and dropping in on friends to show them the new ride. All my friends think I'm crazy for getting green since I've traditionally been a 'blue car guy', but I wanted something that stood out!
I call him my 'little radioactive jellybean', but his real name is Fergus!
