2008.5 Mazda 3 Hatch
Hey Guys!

So I have been on the forum for a few months researching and learning about this car. Today I FINALLY went and purchased one! Brand new 2008.5 Copper Red Mica Mazda 3 Hatchback Grand Touring with moonroof, bose system, etc. I am so pumped to pick it up on Monday and I will be posting pictures as soon as possible.
 
I know I can't wait! What exactly should I be doing as far as when I first get it. Anything to break certain things in. I know I am not supposed to go too hard on the engine/transmission. Anything else I should know as a new owner of this car?

Thanks in advance guys!
 
here are a few pics...

Which dealer did you go to Rhon? I'm contemplating doing the Costco pricing through Lee Johnson in Kirkland. Any thoughts? Your wife's car is gorgeous, btw.
 
nice car... just dont' drive at the same rpm (cruise control) for the first 500 or so miles and a 1000 mile oil change and then at regular intervals is probably a good idea as well.
 
hey, I know this kind of thing is personal with a lot of people and I don't mean to be rude, but what did you pay for it OTD? I only ask because I'm looking at purchasing your exact car.
 
I got the sedan in the same color!!! I've had it 2 weeks and its got 1500+ miles on it, getting the stereo replaced later this week due to the volume issue!!! I'm getting a little over 30MPGs, with the 2.0!!
