Does anybody have a full spec sheet for all the differences between the 2008, 2008.5, 2009 Mazda3 S Grand Touring Hatchbacks?
I've been looking and I can't seem to find anything about it.
Thanks a bunch! :D

As far as I know, I don't think there are really any difference between the 07, 08, and 09 models.

I could be wrong, though.
 
there are actually quite a few little ones i think. I am not sure of years but i know trim color is different in some years(piano back) and I believe there is some difference in the bose stereo too...i think
 
The only ones I can come up off the top of my head are
2008 to 2008.5:
white gauge needles
piano black trim
power drivers seat

Then 08.5 to 2009 is pretty much the same thing, relatively unchanged at all since they ran for what? 3 months before the 2010's came out?

I know there are more between the 08-08.5 I just can't think of them...arrrgh! haha
 
What exactly are you looking for? Differences in body style? engine? audio? interior? I think the differences are very small.
 
Just what Mazda changed from year to half year to year. Like from the 08 to 08.5 I came up with a few things but I want like everything and anything they changed or added to the 08.5's and then from the 08.5's to 09's. (if they changed anything for 09)

POWER SEAT ??

I want
(squinty)
 
As far as I know nothing was changed 08.5 to 09.

And all of the changes from 08 to 08.5 have already been listed that I know of.
 
Also, starting with the 08.5's the rear bumper's black plastic area was enlarged to match (or at least approximate) the rear bumper on the MS3. It may even be the same part, but I doubt it.
 
08.5 uses a new generation of mazda radios... they finally come with MP3 CD players standard and they are able to display the song titles! same thing if you use mazda's ipod kit with the radio

09 adds remote trunk popper if you have a sedan
