What's up people, Just got me a Mazda 3 GT... Used to own a corolla until it got mashed up!! Anyway, first time ever owning/driving a Mazda.... Before this car we were strickly a Toyota family.. So far real happy with it... Best car I can find for the price/performance

That was the reason why I bought my 3! Congrats!

What colour and options did you purchase?

I got the GT with leather, color is Indigo Blue Metallic. the car is automatic though seeing that other family members will need to drive it on occasion... a lot of city driving to so it's much easier driving the auto...

Sportshift is VERY fun!

I take it you have the Mazda 3 Sedan S version then?

 

[Ex-Rolla]

yeah that's the one... I gues the trim levels are different here in Canada.

you guys have good links to the different generation engines on the mazda protege/3? or some good references towards the Mazda 3? I'm going to be looking around on the forum here (beleive it or not using the "search" feature), but if anyone has direct links, it would be nice.
I know the 1ZZ ( corolla engine) very well, but I know NOTHING about these current Mazdas.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

The sticky titled 'Mazda/Ford relationship & Mazda3 parts sharing thread' describes the 2.3l engine from a high level. There is also a link there for more technical details about the 2.3l (it's actually a Mazda6 press release so it's got all the info on that).
