Yes, Soul Red is only available with a light (Almond) interior on the s Grand Touring trim. On the i trims with the cloth seats it's only available in black, not sand.

Out of curiosity how much did the tinting cost?
Soul Red is available with Almond or Black interior
Pics with tint and sensors, sorry for the trash. This is the special door-ding free zone for new cars at work:
Tint was only a couple hundred and got a tiny tax break by including it with purchase price. I'm not that familiar with that realm but I'm sure the price can vary by the type of film you get and where you take it. I am thinking of getting the windshield done with a clear UV blocking film but will probably wait a bit for the bank account to recharge.

Got a link for that stuff lowincash? I don't think I want much tint but I'll happily take a heat blocker.
llumar air blue 80, this one costs me around $180 for the windshield. It's okay, but I wasn't as good as vkool I used before.

Well its been just over a month and close to 700 miles now with my new Mazda and am still extremely pleased with my choice. I had been looking for a new car for about 2 years (<––crazy person I know lol) and was really hoping the new 6 wagon would make it here. If it had I would have been driving that long ago. But as it is I'm happy with the 3 since it has the same engine but in an even lighter car that fits easier around the city. So far with 98% city driving my average mpg shows 27.8.
I still have the door frame rattle but it isn't annoying enough to need immediate attention, whenever the next time I need to take it in I'll have it looked at.
One thing that is different from my old car is when the brakes are cold they are extremely grabby. It is very difficult the first minute of driving not to have the brakes slamming on. I'm learning my feet to be more delicate during that period but sometimes I forget and I must look like a beginning driver with the car diving into stops. Even when the brakes are up to temp they still aren't as linear and good feeling as my old car and on rare occasions it still dives into a stop. I wonder if the Brake Assist is getting too aggressive.
I still get a little giddy with how great the headlights are too. Now that half my driving is in the dark my appreciation for them has grown and can't imagine owning a car that doesn't have these type of lights. I've turned off the foglights since I can't tell any difference when they are on.
I got to test city highway slogging yesterday and liked how the car can putter along just a few mph without having to ride the brakes. My old car liked to idle up to at least 10-15mph when warm, and when cold it would be happy to get up into second gear and 25mph without touching the gas.
