When Karine Lajoie Robin was in search for a new car, she wanted a car that was attractive, functional and powerful. Mazda was a manufacturer that she always liked, so she bought a 2012 Mazdaspeed3. As a mother, she required a functional (4-door) car. And as a car enthusiast, she required a car that was attractive and powerful.
