2016 Mazda3

The 2016 Mazda3 adds pizzazz. When my oldest daughter was car shopping, a 2013 Mazda3 basically fell in her lap. My mother could no longer drive and the buy back on the lease was a great deal. Done.

February 18, 2016 by Meagan Wristen Leave a Comment

2015 Mitsubishi Lancer

It is if your family doesn’t mind that you’re having fun driving. We spent the last part of 2015 cruising around in a ruby red 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer. It’s a peppy little car that’s super fun to drive and it gets great gas mileage. We didn’t get to take it on any road trips or doing anything glamorous…
