New owner w/ a few questions

[memphisj]

Hello all....just purchased '13 AWD Touring and love it so far. I'm familiar with Owner's forums but new to the Mazda world.

How do I create a signature at bottom of my posts?
Where do I find instructions on photo posting?

Thanks...

At the top of the page, you will see a button that says "Settings". Click that, it will bring you to your personal section where you can add a signature, a avatar photo and so on. And welcome to the group!

Welcome!
Photo posting is pretty easy.

The toolbar has a little icon, hover the mouse over it when replying to a post, or starting a new thread, the icon is square, and when you hover over it, it says "Insert Image" so you just past the image website address i.e. http://www.mazda.com.au/assets/news/2014/March/mazda-hazumi-ex.jpeg into that box.

If using your own images, I suggest uploading them to a website first. I use photobucket.

Pretty easy. And welcome to the forum!

^ Agreed. Thats the new Hazumi concept that will be making the rounds at the auto shows this year.

Man I was hoping that was the cx-3

Still looks pretty SWEEET.

ThreadJack:
@jlanger, the CX-3 doesn't look much different in production trim than this, as it shares more dimensions with the Mazda 2 than the 3. Just get rid of the obvious concept car stuff (like the mirrors and giant wheels) and it's a pretty accurate representation of the new 2 and CX-3:

Good Point, now if they're just release it with a manual trans in the US I might be able to convince my better half to get one. ..

Im sure they will release it with a Manual trans. Mazda is still pretty good at that. But if you want a manual trans, with some good options, or a higher trim level, i doubt that will happen.

Unfortunately, early indicators are no manual trans. on any U.S. trim level for the CX-3.
From the linked Autoweek article above:

The CX-3 will make use of Mazda's Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter gas engine in U.S. guise, with power channeled to the front wheels or to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. A manual transmission will not be on the menu...

Yea I know no manula for US, though it's still made for Europe and Japan...(one can hope)
