This is my 2006 Mazda 3i! I just starting leasing this car in October 2005. Since I wanted to start establishing some credit and work on building it for the future, my mom decided to co-sign for this lease. This car and my car insurance are all in my name so that I get credit for making my payments on time. I used to own a 1999 Cougar that I had for almost 2 years, but it started to give me problems so I got rid of it and bought this car shortly after. This car isn't that bad with car insurance considering its in my name. The reasons I bought this car out of all the cars that I was looking at is because its good on gas, through the insurance it's not counted as a sports car because its a sedan so its not as expensive as a sports car but has a sporty look, its a very safe car and has a high rating on its safety, and I fell in love with it the first time I test drove it. I also just recently put 20% tints on it. I pay for my car payments, my insurance, and my gas all on my own. I work hard for this car and I am very pleased. My mom would obviously be there if I ran into a problem, but I like that I am independent.
