nothing says you made "it," like purchasing "value edition" of car
haven't posted in a long time, but historically ot has had much love for the mazda's...
so anyway, on a whim, i traded my 03 protege5 for a 2008.5 i Touring Value 4dr Sedan 2.0 5 speed...it seems like this edition is really and "s" edition with the smaller "i" edition 2.0 engine... so it comes nicely equipped as opposed to the regular "I" it comes with 17" alloys, leather wrapped nardi knock-off steering wheel, fog lamps, i-pod hook-up etc...power package and side airbags.. it looks something like this, but in galaxy gray... could i have done better with 16k?

you couldn't have done much better. sure, you could have done better in one area or another, but as for a whole package, you did just fine.

Value edition? Does that mean new model next year or something?
Thats usually how manufacturers dump the overstock of optional parts by throwing everything left into some Collector's Edition, or Value Edition, or Anniversary Edition model....right? |

Why are you on a car forum when you buy slow economy cars? Unless this is just a DD, then it's a nice one.

It looks like a fine automobile.
But rather than the car, I have Chex Mix on the brain thanks to this thread. Mmmm... Chex Mix..... |

Nice looking car you got there. Looks to me like you did just fine for the money you spent.

Win. Seems like an ideal car to buzz around in for DD chores. Comfy, nimble, economical.

If this is true:
Doesnt that mean that this 'value edition' is a decendent of God himself? |
