I totally agree with you. This is our first hatchback and we love the functionality/practicality and very much appreciate the good-looking packaging. Mazda made the hatch look very much like a regular sedan and I think that might win over people who don't like typical hatch styling but really...

Congratulations and enjoy your new ride!

Actually, it's kind of true. When you order a Mazda3 in North America it's not actually produced specifically for you. The vehicles that will be produced (colour + option combinations) have already been determined and a list provided to dealerships. If the combination that you wanted was one of...

Excellent news. Thanks wongpres. My dealership (I called last week) said last week of March for us...almost there.

Great! Thanks for the photos. I've been wondering when more info would start trickling out.

The differences can be tough to spot from some photos. On the rear, there is a brake light integrated into the trunk of the hatch (and not on the sedan). I've attached some images from Mazda Australia. Please ignore the fact that the sedan doesn't have a spoiler, side sill extensions or...

Beautiful car! Congrats, and enjoy the ride.

On the GX and GS you get the black interior with all of the exterior colours except Sand Mica, Velocity Red Metallic and Arctic White (those three come with the beige interior).

2 *more* speakers. GX --> 2 speakers; GS--> 4 speakers; GT --> 4 speakers + 2 tweeters

I couldn't agree more with what Eugeosyncline said. The Protege is great for a cetain niche of drivers. Car and Driver rated it #1 in its class, and "enthusiasts" loved it because it was a "driver's car." The thing that drives the auto companies, though, is sales, and Civics and Corollas...

Number I've seen posted is 2900. My calc. w/ 16"s gives ~2960.

Congrats, and nice selections!

Newf, Shortened Version: -It's up to dealerships/salespeople to communicate with customers, not keep them in the dark --> if you tell a customer "X days from now" and that comes and goes, contact the customer and let them know what's going on. If you don't know why the delay is, they should...

Another rep. at Jarman (not Karen) told me they were "delayed at the port" :rolleyes: (this was yesterday); the AutoWorld rep. told me the trucks were held up by the snow but he didn't sound too convinced. The explanation that you got is much more reasonable.

No doubt. If Mazda Canada had handled the distribution of these cars better they would most likely have hooked me. All the waiting for them got me looking at other cars not even in the same category. The 3 still gets my attention, but Mazda's managed to give the other brands a fighting...

The Jarman price probably isn't the best deal you can hope for. Check with Autoworld Mazda in Leduc. They quoted me MSRP, but I didn't try to get them to move. I was just interested in the pricing since we were comparing the 3GT and the 6GS. They didn't have any in (two weeks ago) but they...

I'm guessing you the dealership's initials are "JM" in Edmonton because they're the only one with the Euro version on the floor. They do add some extra to the price from what I figure as well. They have their "advantage" package which includes AC tx, floor mats, tire disposal fee, block...

Thanks for the review Dre. I had a chance to drive a sport but am still waiting for the sedan to come in.
