We got the AT because my wife drives it daily and doesn't want to shift. It has the "manual mode" anyway which kind of makes up for it. I have 2 other vehicles that are both MT. Of course, she doesn't like driving them too much.

Congrats! Looks a lot like ours except ours has fogs (it's also an '09). What color is your interior? We got the "sand" color. Looks nice with the stormy blue. P.S.- former Buffalonian here!

I'm gonna' agree with you here. I know several people with Hyundais now. The Sonata really is a nice car. We also looked at Hyundai when we shopped for the 5. OK, we looked at everything. But Hyundai had some interesting choices. They are getting more expensive as the quality improves though.

Sorry Man... I can't help you. But I'd be interested to see the responses. Mine is only 10 months old and I can already tell that the armrest cover will need to be replaced after a couple years.

I agree with your assesment that the 3 surpasses what is normally considered standard in its class. That's why I bought one! (2thumbs) My point was that you don't get what you should out of a car at $40K... in the US or CA. Period.

Take it in if you're under warranty!! No way should you get water anywhere in the car. Something is wrong.

Congrats!! You will love it.

Wow... some of you guys are anal about your cars!! I like a clean car, but it'll drive you insane trying to keep it spotless. Your kids are going to get it dirty one way or another. Use common sense to keep it as clean as possible... but making them wear plastic bags??? They're going to have...

What does that say for the average $40K car nowadays?

This is the reason we decided on our sport. All the options we wanted/needed were there. The wife did not care about most of the options the Touring and GT added. The leather-wrapped wheel was the only thing she wanted that didn't come on our sport. Me... I wanted the LED taillights and...

Welcome to the Mazda family! (rockon) I also have an '08 3, with the 2.3 liter motor. Like others have stated, the "little light in the RPM circle that looks like an exclamation point inside a shape like a horse shoe" is your TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) alert. Set your tires to the...

Try asking one of the dealer's sales reps (who can't be very busy right now) to take a short ride with you until it happens. That way you have a witness. I did this with a Ford I had a while back that had an intrermittant problem that the svce dept couldn't replicate. It definitely got a result...

I'm sure this was already decided long ago... but I would have voted for the speed 3 rims. I think the "fuller" look goes better with the 5.

Since the airbags didn't go off the damage shouldn't be much more than cosmetic. Cars are made to crumple in a wreck so the damage usually looks worse than it is. I hope that's the case for you this time.

That's a really good and valid point. I was shocked to see how low the ins cost was for the 5. Ours replaced an '03 Chevy Monte Carlo and the '09 5 was cheaper! (cabpatch)

This pic would look even sweeter with your fogs on. (yes)

Thanks ZZ. I tried using the search function before posting and found nothing. I'll try again.

I would still teach you to drive a stick if you lived closer thean Destin. (yes)

Yes... I am doing that. However, I am just curious about other people's expreriences with the info center to see how close it usually is. I can't believe nobody else responded? I guess I'm not part of the "clique" yet! (notcool)

Did your airbags deploy?
