Hello all, Could someone please recommend a good Mazda dealership in Calgary for service, oil changes, etc...I just moved to the city from Edmonton and have had pretty good experiences with Jarman. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Well last Sunday there was a huge windstorm (100km/h gusts), and I got a shopping cart into the drivers side door of my mint 3. The cart had a long way to go because I was parked all the way across the parking lot trying to avoid door dings. The end result was a small dent near the bottom of...

I haven't taken a real good look under my car yet, but noticed that when I look in the driver's side rear wheel well, facing the front of the car, there is some sort of pan or plate. This pan is holding quite a bit of gravel. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to clean this out without...

OK...I don't want this to become a post for bashing us automatic drivers, but... Does anyone know if there is anything that will cover the "dead pedal" footrest area. The Mazda carpeting does not seem very durable, and the floor mats do not cover this area. I only have about 700 km on my car...

Just a quick question... Has anyone else with the auto tranny noticed that it doesn't really like to creep along in stop and go traffic. i.e. when moving along at a few km/h, you constantly have to give it gas, kind of like a stick. Every other car that I have driven is the opposite in that...

After about a week of having a blast with my new GT sedan, I do have one minor annoyance. Has anyone else noticed that the gas and brake pedal on the automatic equipped 3 are way too close together. Between the closeness of the pedals and the gas pedal almost touching the center console, I...

I am ordering my set of Zaino products this week, in preparation to wax my brand new 3 GT black mica sedan (also to be picked up this week ). Has anyone on the board used 1)Zaino or 2) a clay bar on their new car yet? I am a little apprehensive using a clay bar on the black paint, as I haven't...

Would you guys reccommend telling the dealer to just rinse the car before delivery? I just closed a deal on a black GT sedan, and will be taking delivery in about a week and a half. I am a little paranoid about getting paint swirls in the clearcoat if the dealer uses one of those orbital...

...on a black Mazda 3 GT sedan (no GFX), sport auto. They gave me the MP3 deck at cost, installed, wheel locks, and a healthy discount on tint (17% light through on the back 3 windows). All told, all fees and levies in, it came to 23 250 after the grad rebate and before GST. This was not a...

Could someone please comment on this proposed deal? A titanium GT sedan, cloth, auto at Jarman Mazda in Edmonton, AB, Canada: Their final out the door price works out to $22 834 + 7%tax $1598 - $600 grad rebate = $23 832 all taxes in, out the door. Now, there are a few little "rip-off"...

Hello all, I was in the market for a P5 last fall, and never bought one (long story). I am now in the market for a car again, and would like some feedback as to whether or not the new 3 is a lot better than the P5. Personally, I think that the 3 looks better, and if I were to buy one it...

I was just wondering if you guys feel that the MSP is worth the ~4-5K price premium over the P5. It seems like now might be a good time to try to make a good deal on either of these fine automobiles, with the new 3 hitting the showrooms in about a month. Thanks

Hello all, I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me out. Could anyone from Canada (or more specifically, Edmonton) tell me how much cash the dealers have been knocking off the price of the MSP? It is now October, and the 3 should be out soon, so I was thinking that now might be...

Hello all, I am looking to purchase a new 2003 Mazda Protege 5 with sport auto and ac. MSRP is 24, 605 including freight and gst, and also includes the 600 grad discount (mazda.ca) The two dealers in the Edmonton area that I have initially spoken with have been quite firm on their discounts...
