I think the fine print says for the 0.9% offer, you have to pay $28.50 per every $1000 you borrow on top of it per month.

Thanks. I would prefer the mazda, then the question becomes $$....new one maybe $30.5k plus taxes, or maybe a used 15 for $25-26k...If we go used, that means no sensor package as it is only offered on the 16's, and I guess there are some other more minor changes like a bigger screen, etc. We are still mulling this over....I appreciate all the input.
you should consider a GT w/tech and without the i-ACTIVEsense package if you can do without those bells and whistles. you will still get Rear-Cross Traffic Alert, BSM, and Smart City Brake Support (for speeds <20mph), but you will lose lane-departure warning, SBS (for >20mph speeds), and Adaptive Cruise Control. or drop the AWD to FWD (which to me in SF Bay area doesn't seem necessary to get AWD).
I'm in the bay area as well, and we head up to the mtns a lot, and as a mtn biker I wouldn't also mind having the better traction in case I get stuck in mud or something on a bad road....So AWD only, have to mull over the sensor package. I am pretty sure the tech package only GT has the lane warnings. Both cars we drove had it, and neither had the sensor pack. One of them didn't have tech pack either. Both had the yellow lights in the mirrors and a beeper when a car was within a few car lengths on either side. Maybe that's not lane departure, but something else...and this feature seemed really useful to me.
One other question on 15 vs 16...I know the screen is a bit bigger, but otherwise is the nav system itself and audio the same? Sounds funny these days with google maps on phones winning the day, but I really liked the nav on the 16 we drove, very informative.
