Before I returned it to the rental car lot, I knew that one day I would buy one, either new or used, for many more weekends traversing pastures, streams, and one-lane bridges. The experience was unforgettable. I hope Mazda resists the temptation to alter it until I can afford to buy one. Perhaps those people who claim to love a pair of ratty Air Nike's or a set of green and terracotta dishes with matching placemats really do love them, but I doubt it. They just think they do.
Love involves passion, intimacy and commitment.
