Hi from Finland!
I might have posted once or twice already, but I guess an introduction would be appropriate.
I used to own a MS3 (actually 3 MPS) while ago and then changed to '00 VW Golf for better economy and AWD. That turned out well and had to sell the panzerwagon for _a lot_ less than I paid for it just after 2 years..
Lesson learned and few weeks ago got a new 3 with 2.2 Skyactiv Diesel. Will probably miss the AWD, but on the other hand, MPS only got stuck in the snow once in 5 years I had it.. Here we have only 1.5L and 2.0L versions of gas engine, so diesel was pretty obvious choice..

And here's the ride

 

Welcome to the forum, Smau. The Mazda3 just look smart.

I hope you keep coming back and share experience with the Diesel. We are short on Diesel expertise.
