New 2012 Mazda3 sport GS-sky joining the group

[projectmx]

After a lot of thought I picked up a 2012 Mazda3 sport GS-sky with 6speed manual trans and tinted windows. Looking forward to working on the new car over the years

I will try to post some pics up later

Can't go wrong with a sky-activ 3. Very wise move!

glad you went with the mazda.

did you get a sedan or hatch?

still waiting for pictures!

Congrats!

Mazda 3 Sport = hatchback in Canada, that's not the trim level. The trim level is the end designator, GX, GS, GS-Sky, or GT.

A sedan is just plain Mazda 3.

oh silly canada.

 

[DKaz]

We like to be different like that, like playing football with three downs.

and inventing the expressway, then not buiding very many of them

Here are some pics

As soon as I can afford I want to do a short ram intake, black micah speed3 wing, black rims, and some minor suspension work.

 

[DKaz]

Very nice. Are your front windows tinted as well? We're not allowed here.

You could plastidip your wheels black for the time being.

 

[projectmx]

Ontario and indiana allow front window tint, your area is like michigan and illinois, no front tint.

Plastidip? I will have to look into this

 

[Rockin03mp5]

im not sure if there is a plasti dip thread on here, but it is the new rage since you can just peel it off if you dont like it.

fyi... you get the sport spoiler and side skirts and i dont here in MI. Not unless i went grand touring and even then, different spoiler.

 

[DKaz]

Yep, side skirts and spoiler are standard on the Sport GS-Sky. Sedans don't have side skirt or spoiler love.

I Plastidipped a spray on car bra, but I'll save that for another thread.

you have a sedan don't you? or does the hatchback stateside not have a spoiler and side skirts? even the p5 came standard with spoiler skirts and even a strut bar which the 3 doesn't have

 

[projectmx]

and and not impressed with the stock tires

 

[DKaz]

Lol I was sliding taking an offramp a bit too fast. The tires are obviously biased towards fuel economy.

 

[projectmx]

yeah i had a slight bit of rain and the car had trouble holding the road, safety should always come first

i ordered a hatch... and it does not come standard with sideskirts and the spoiler is different. it doesnt have those ridges in it.

 

[projectmx]

i wonder which model would be comparable to mine, i was in warren friday and parked next to a 3 with michigan plates that has the skirts and same spoiler, so do you have 3 spoilers stateside? a base model one, the one that is like mine and the speed 3 one?
