It was an 'ES' trim, leather, bla bla bla. I did my research on used and trade values before heading to the dealership. I could've done about 1k better if I sold it outright, but no worries...it was painless, quick and easy, and a bit of a tax break...so I did fairly well in the end. The MPV...

My wife's 2010 cx9 touring has a small dark colored 'mini dome' in the left front most part of the dash board. I initially thought it was a sensor for automatic headlights, then realized that you only get the auto headlights in the GT model. So, what is it? Kinda bugs me that the touring model...

Just picked up 2010 copper red mica cx9 touring.... Bose Moonroof Pwr lift gate Sand leather (these numbers are off the top of my head....so they may be slightly off, but close) MSRP (sticker) $34,725 Invoice $31,430 Got $750 off invoice + $500 mazda loyalty cash Traded our '03 mazda mpv van...

My dealer told me today that they cannot order one until January 18th, which is when they will be informed of their allotment, pricing, etc. I tried every which way to get them to order it, and they simply stated that "we can put the order in, although that's no guarantee they will build it, or...

I finally came across some good pics of the new 2008.5 color line up on another Mazda forum. Enjoy: w ww. m a z d a 3 f o r u m_s . com/index.php?topic=94052.0 That pretty much seals the deal for me...Metro Gray. Ordering mine next week! BTW- I have no idea why my link wouldn't post up...

I haven't heard of axela or mps, although I have seen it in some member photos. From some quick research, am I correct in stating that axela is the Japan market name for the ms3, and mps is the European market? MPS - mazda performance series?? Axela - ??? Thanks, Dan

Like I said, I test drove the car, and I was very impressed all around. I just forgot to pay attention to the little things that I thought about afterwards. I did go back to the dealer a few days later to just sit in the car and familiarize myself with the layout more...which I thought was...

I'm not going to do it, for all of the reasons stated. As for why, IMO the mazda speed logo could be a bit more appealing to the eye. It's too plain and doesn't go to far enough to differentiate itself from the regular 3 series. I think that is actually appealing to some, as it gives the...

(lol)

ALRIGHT ALREADY! MS3 No BMW stuff. Got it. Move along, nothing to see here (dunno)

I can almost feel the love :rolleyes: I had a 330I, and was going to get a 335I or M3 before I changed my mind to the Mazda...hence my lingering appreciation for BMW's. I thought the badge was fitting, since the Mazda is referred to as an M3 on the forum almost exclusively.

I did a quick photoshop...I kinda like it. [/URL][/IMG]

Wondering how it would look on the back of the Mazdaspeed 3 in place of the stock Mazda logo? Anyone try it?

As the title says, I've heard turbo cars at the track with somewhat noisy BOV /wastegates, particularly between shifts. Is the MS3 this way as well? I have test driven the car, but honestly I forgot to pay attention to it. I am seriously considering purchasing / ordering a 2008.5 model, which...
