For the 2006 model, the GFX package is a $1200 option if you want the power moonroof, 17's, bumper, side sill, grille and fog lights. I don't know about it being an option or not for the 2007 (I went to mazda.ca and seems that the only similar option is the power moonroof)

No problems with mine. Is there always noise or is it only on turns and bumps?

Oh, I forgot to post what the problem was. I had a rock stuck between the rotor and the brakes. No big deal, the dealership just popped it out. No damage and I got a carwash out of it (useless cuz 2 days later, it's dirty again).

I drove into work today and had no problem. Leaving work, I turn on the heater and music. Driving away, I smell burning and hear squeaking. I turn the heater off but the burning smell is still there, so I turn the music off and notice that the sound is coming from the rear. My first thought...

You need to go with at least 16". So you have a few options: - stick with the stock 17" rims and just replace the rubber - get 16" steelies and winters It's generally cheaper to go with the second option. I was set on the winter rubber so for me, the cheaper route was to go with 16"s.

I've got 205/55 r16 Toyo Garit HX on mine. I know it's been posted in another thread somewhere but the stock Goodyear RS-A all seasons are absolutely horrible in snow. I'm no expert on winter tires but I do live in Winterpeg and I know what works and what doesn't.

After looking around for the past few months, I finally settled for 17" OZ Tribe EVO. I know they're not the best, but I haven't seen any where I live. At first, I was set on Gram Lights 57 pro's in gold. Then my heart was broken because they were discontinued in the size I need. I looked at...

Thanks for all the information, guys. I decided I'm going with Focals and I'm still looking around in terms of an amp. Tsunami, thanks for your advice. You too, wongpres. It'll be a while before my whole Mazda 3 project is done (probably around end of july) but I'll be sure to keep you guys...

I've looked for this but couldn't find the answer, maybe I just didn't know where to look. Will the stock HU be adequate to be able to handle a 4channel amp, 12" sub and a nice pair of front 6x8 speakers? I'll leave the rear speakers as is. Or do I have to get a whole new HU? Do I have to do...

I joined this forum a while back and was going to purchase a Mazda 3. Long story short, I didn't and I still haven't. During that time, I actually looked at a lot of others since new models came out (Jetta TDI for a while because of gas prices, used cars, CSX...) Anyways, I've come full...

I don't really like it all that much. Looks like a Camry to me. I think VW should have just kept the original Jetta look. Reminds me of the way the Nissan Altima changed from an average size to Maxima size. Just my thoughts.

I live in Winterpeg (Winnipeg). Just get some decent winter tires and you'll be fine. You live in BC, I have more snow on my driveway than you do on all your roads. Haha.

Oops, I forgot to include the quote. Just ignore the first sentence from previous post.

Yes, I agree. I just personally think the sedan looks much nicer. I think Mazda should have both sedan and hatch speed versions.

Did he say what year it's coming out in n. america?
