Need your advice before buying the Mazda3 S Grand Touring

[novasian]

It looks nice. For $20g, I get a sedan with heated leather seats, HID and good handling. Can't complain there. I'm exploring the options.

* Bose system = worth it? I had Bose on my Acura RSX Type-S and sounded like a POS. Had to replace all speakers, sub, amp and H/U with aftermarket.

I kinda like the RX-8 too, but heard too many complaints and how it burns so much oil in very short amount of time. I like cars. But I don't like it that much to constantly have to check the oil and fill it up at each gas refill.

I like my GT Hatch, only got the Sirus and bumper step. Some don't like the Bose system, but most like it!
Good luck!

bose is a b****!! they didn't create any adaptors or anything, u have to do so much to the sound system if you want subs or something like that

I have the 06 S Touring sedan .. I have a friend that had the BOSE .. but I decided it is not worth buying if I am going to replace it all with better speakers/radio anyway. I don't like leather interior for some reason so I got the Touring, wanted to make sure I got the side impact window airbags.

As for the RX-8 .. I had some work done on my Mazda 3 after I bought it .. and they would give me a rental car from an enterprise section in the dealership. I was talking to the rental guy and he said that he rented alot of cars to people that had RX-8s .. said they seem to have alot of problems .. don't know the truth to that .. but he would know as far as people having service done.

Hope that helps.
