A car I owned for … less than a week. Traded on impulse, was only going to try it out to see if I'd want to get one later this year. One thing led to another and I was persuaded to trade my 3 for it.

Eventually I realized it wasn't for me… for now. Very fun car, fit in it pretty well, cool spec and good condition. But I regretted leaving the 3 behind which in my eyes is the most complete package of a car I've had. It had the skyactiv-x engine I had been looking for, paired with the manual and same high trim as my first 3. These are hard to come by over here. At that time the only 3 I could find with this combo. It's either the smaller engine with manual or the bigger engine with auto usually. Auto is a no go for me atm.

The 3 may not be as fun, but noticeably more comfortable, and as only daily driver much more practical in regards of space.

I did like the MX-5 and would consider getting one again in the future. But for now I'll put that idea on hold.
