Recently, I found my GPS not working properly. At low speed or stop, the GPS has random pointing. That means, when I stop at a red light, the car would suddenly think I was on the cross road or facing backward. This result in annoying rerouting or sometime freeze. I upgraded the system in early...

I heard from my dealer that, you can have the dealer fit the leather on the Touring seat, for about 1500. They can order the leather kit. Not sure about the wrap on the door and center console.

I bet you took the picture from Iphone. Everything is up side down. I wish I had the tint installed by the dealer. Now, I have to find one shop myself.

Looks like they crank up the loyalty for Mazda 3 / MX-5 / CX-9 also, used to be 500. Didn't find it last week.

Is 1000 royalty still available?

Received a tree today also. But no gift note from Mazda, only from 1-800-flowers.

Look up in the edmunds app, (OK, not a very reliable source). MSRP 24290 for non-optional color, 1300 less than the automatic. No 5.8in, no rear view camera (only rear sensor), no tech package, no BSM. So, just an upgraded holster and 19in wheel? for 1500? Hope edmunds just copy the spec sheet...

I scratched my rim against the curb today .....(boom05) May need some sand paper and filler. Any one know the silver color for the Touring 19" ? For completion, also the color for GT and Sport. May be the first one here need a rim repair....

So, it does stall the car when it comes to a full stop?

You mean the BOSE? I do pay attention in the past few days. It gets some decent details and surrounding feel. But I won't say it is lively enough even though much better than other standard equipped. Surely, you get the BOSE signature: overwhelming base. And, you won't tell much difference if...

There are two version of diesel 2.2 in UK 140hp and 170hp. I hope they only tested the low output one. Diesel should have V6 performance, or the only advantage over the 2.5L is the extra range on a tank and it won't sell well in US.

I guess the reason is that the smart city brake system can not work with the manual tranny, since it will stall the car if it works. So is the adaptive cruise control.

Sounds strange. For two tanks, when the fuel warning light illuminates and 50 miles to empty by the computer, I can only put 14 gallons to the tank till full. The spec sheet shows 16 gallon max, I don't think you can ever put that much into your tank.

Are we still able to use the back up camera and the command switch with AppRadio?

For the fuel economy, my first two tanks return 31mpg, about 50/50 city and highway. Though you probably won't call Dallas road condition "city", I do drive 75+ on highway. There are a few emergency accelerations. I guess it will getting better in the next few tanks.
