After a looooong time looking for and researching cars (seriously, since Nov. 09!), I finally signed all the paperwork for a brand new 2010 Mazda 3 sport GS w/ comfort package, 6-speed in velocity red. 
Now the waiting game starts... apparently there are only three in Ontario so if a dealer is willing to trade, then I get it soon. If not, then it might be a factory order. Ugh... I want it NOW!!! I am incredibly excited to start driving this car and am hoping I get it sooner rather than later. I don't want summer to be over before I get it... I want to cruise around with the moonroof open and just enjoy it.
I was referred here by a salesperson and thought I'd check it out as I've been reading a bunch of forums.
First on the list when I get it is to get some tints... I was thinking 17% all around?? Then depending on how cash strapped I am, we'll see what other mods I can get done.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll have some questions but until the car is in my possession, I can only read about everyone else's experience with them.
PS. Like most people say, the "smiley face" isn't so bad when you go see it in person. The color you get has a lot to do with how pronounced it is but here in Ontario, we also have a front license plate which breaks it up a bit. Either way, I think it's an improvement all around from the 09's!

Glad I waited for this car to come out and Pontiac made it a bit easier for me by going under. I was also looking at the Vibe for the "practical and reliable" side of me.
