Still looking for a car for Kristina. It was too cockpit like for her. Id like to get her something awd for safety. Maybe an 07/08 wrx hatchback, or a tdi quattro anything would be really cool.
But if Guy finds me a C5 for 5k, Im buying it, and she can drive my GC. Ha

I do love your MX5 though. I really wish she had gone for it.
If it was a manual I may have forced her into it. She really wants an auto, but I dont want to be limited so certain cars the rest of my life because she is afraid to learn. Might have to force her to get over it now.

Force her into anything an you will pay for it sooner or later. Choose wisely.

Talk into != force into.

My uncle is in the same situation. He had a turbo RX7, a nitrous RX7, an RX8, and a Porsche all in manual transmissions. But he always has an automatic lease for his wife. If he just got her to learn to ride that damn bicycle, she wouldnt think twice about it. And he'd have a few hundred dollars of extra disposable income every month.

We had a new focus for less than 24 hours, it was falling apart and the quality control wasn't great so we took it back 
It was a basic focus hatch with the dct (what an... interesting transmission.)
Passenger front door was catching on the rear door's weather seal, front brakes were dragging, radio/bluetooth froze up, rear seatback wouldn't latch into place. Inside made us feel very claustrophobic!
My new Mazda3 hatch on the other hand with 2.5L 6 speed auto (manual becoming available this year for this motor!) has been nothing but fantastic. 180ish hp/tq and I average 28mpg city, no problems with it over the 3 months and 2k+ miles I've put on it, absolutely love it |

I'm not sure what year you had but I have a hard time believing that all went down in a 24 hour period without noticing it on the test drive or before purchasing it. I had one for a week and loved it, Ray has one and is thoroughly pleased with it as well.
