Use of var keyword in C#

Hello, I've recently been discovering the awesomeness that is the var keyword in C#.

Well, I didn't think about it before but I just wrote lines of code that are along the lines of

var con=CreateNewConnection();

Where this would usually be

IdbConnection con=CreateNewConnection();

Is this a good use of var? Is it possible to use var too often? Are there any downsides to using it?

Also, one more point of consideration: We are not worried about backwards compatability. We just care that it runs on .NET 3.5
