I have an iTouring with the technology package on order but no arrival date. Within a reasonable distance, a dealer has 2 liquid silver metallic iGrand Touring with manuals. The big differences between the iTouring and the iGrand Touring are the change from fabric to leatherette and the addition...

I see that a fair amount of folks are getting the 3s model with the 2.5l engine. Unfortunately, it is available only with an automatic, a showstopper for me. Has anyone here purchased the 3 Touring or Grand Touring with the 6-speed manual? How is the performance? Gas mileage? Transmission feel...

I recently purchased a 2002 Mazda Protege5, 68,000 miles, automatic transmission, 2.0 litre. This isn't our first venture into Mazdaland, having had 3 Mazdas before this, an '86 323, a 2000 Protege sedan and a 2007 Mazda3. I wasn't thrilled about the 3 due to the sedan construction and visibilty...
