I bought 2014 3 HB GT manual when it first came out. Even though I used to be a huge car guy, I just don't care to own nicer car. Maybe it's because I'm 40 and have owned nicer cars before.
Cars are so expensive these days, but a $25k compact car is so nice, why pay another $20k for incrementally nicer car?
Keep your Mazda 3 for 10 years. It's a good car.
- ashtonkem 7y agoI’d actually prefer to not own a car at all. Since I work from home now, and walked to work before, I’d rather just not have one. But I agree, the marginal value of nicer cars is questionable at best. The benefit of a Model 3 was mostly going to be tax rebates and access to the car pool lane for my wife in crowded Los Angeles.
- xkjkls 7y agoIt seems pretty impossible to go completely carless in Los Angeles. In somewhere like New York/Chicago/DC you could do it, but LA seems way to spread out to not have a car.
- ashtonkem 7y agoI have gone carless in LA before. I could & would do it again. You just need to be willing/capable to pay enough to live near work. My wife on the other hand would need a career change.
