Picked it up Friday. Traded in my '14 V6 6MT Accord Coupe.
Love the car and the color - it looks so much better in person than in color guide. Dealer threw in illuminated door sills, all weather floor mats, chrome bumper protector, and fancy valve stem caps. We had planned on waiting until y/e but he gave a such great price on my trade that I basically got what I would have sold it for privately which was effectively retail with the tax effect. He also gave 20% off on the rubber cargo mat and retractable cargo cover. We thought we wanted the roof rails since our friends just installed them on their new Silver CX5 and they looked great. The dealer set them on top of our car so my wife could see what it looked like but it seemed a bit too blingy with the Eternal Blue so we didn't get it.
We like everything about the car - looks, fit and finish, quietness, and ride quality. It rides smoother than my Honda which had 18" wheels. The power is fine except when you hit a steep hill it struggles slightly but it's more than adequate.
I checked the oil level today and it was down maybe 1/8th on dipstick so I topped off with M1 0W-20. It had 62 miles when we bought it and has 282 now. Am hoping the factory just didn't top it off as I'm not aware of oil consumption on these engines? Will keep an eye on it though.
This is our 8th Mazda and all them have been trouble free so we are hoping this will keep up the tradition!
Will post pics soon..
