Any 2014 Mazda3 Sightings?

Anybody seen one outside of a dealer yet?

I've been keeping my eyes open but haven't seen one. Been keeping my eyes open though.

Thanks, will do! Got it last Sunday and so far I love how it looks and driving it. The bone white with red stitching and black interior is very nice.

Awesome! Congrats on the new 3, it's a beauty. Has the LED DRL right? Can't wait to check them out in person, wanted to see how bright they actually are in daytime

Just like any other car, you can see them when it's coming.

Seeing that so few dealers have the s Touring or s GT on the lots yet, would you be willing to take a short video of both front and rear with both just running and then on as well as brakes and turn signals? Don't mean to sound demanding, but it would be really cool to see!

WOW!!! Looks great! Is it an i Grand Touring?

That's either a s Touring or a s Grand Touring, unless he ordered the Shark Fin antenna and the 18" wheels after getting an i Touring/GT (which I highly doubt he did because at the cost to do that, he might as well bump up to the s).

You are right. I got the wheels confused. I'm pretty sure it's an s Grand Touring, as I think I see a moon roof up there!

It's an SGT. I'll see about getting a vid this weekend.

Awesome! Thanks so much! I'd really appreciate it! I still don't have any dealerships here in the Madison, WI area with any SGT and am trying to get a good idea of how the lights look!

Also, now that I think of it, how's the new infotainment system on it along with the navigation? Do you have a smartphone at all that you're using with it? Trying to see how well my iPhone will work with it.

I checked Mazda's site and it appears that for some reason Pandora on iOS 6 wont work with the system, but Pandora on iOS 5 will, and who knows about the new iOS 7 at all. Seems a bit odd...

I have an iPhone and it worked fine with iOS 6 and good with iOS7 too. Phone calls, music, pandora and other music apps like tune-in radio are good. If you pair your phone it shows all the phone call features like history and contacts on the screen.

I have an iphone 4s iOS 5 so it should work with pandora right? I gotta find a dealer with an S to try it out =/

And you can do all this via Bluetooth and still thumbs up and thumbs down for Pandora on the screen? If so, that's so awesome, because I know a lot of vehicles require your smartphone to be connected via USB for at least apps like Pandora and A-HA

Just went to Don Miller Mazda in Madison tonight (they got in 6 more 3's tonight) unfortunately only 1 was a s. Boy...did it drive well and the technology is the upper trim levels is awesome! The active driving display is great at showing information and the new infotainment system is one of the best in the industry (for fun I hit up a few car dealerships and just test drive cars and scrutinize every detail).

I can happily report that not only does the iPhone work with Pandora via Bluetooth, but the iPhone 5s with iOS 7 works just fine via Bluetooth for the Pandora App in the car and the other apps. It's great to be able to control all these functions on the infotainment system screen either via touch or the control knob.

I just bought a 2014 Mazda 3 I 5 Touring hatch in liquid silver. (My Mazda dealership had 3 hidden away in their back lot because they're trying to move all their 2013 models, but I've been eagerly awaiting their arrival and the guys in service gave me a heads up to take a walk waaayyyy out back to see them because they had just arrived a couple of days ago).

My new car also has the technology package and I'm just blown away with all the features. Loving the Bose sound system, too!

I also own a 2006 Mazda 3 hatch and am just stunned at what a big difference it is driving the 2014. It rides much smoother, it's quieter in the cabin and the seats are noticeably more comfortable to sit in. I'm also still getting used to blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, but having those features just makes me feel safer while driving. I also love the Kodo redesign - it just looks like such a different car than I'm used to driving.

Looking forward to hunkering down and reading the manual from start to finish so I can learn all about the new features, but figured I use this forum to gush about how much I LOVE my new car.
