hey vivid, are you that white mazda3 hatch with the badging removed I've seen around the scottsdale area??

I also used cruise control the first day I got my car, I wanted to make sure it worked... you have to test all the gadgets, so why not in the beginning.

^^ What?? ^^ I understand what he's saying, but that doesn't have anything to do with our MPG that we get... and that's what we're discussing here, not total miles per fill up.

Pretty hot here in Phx today, but I turned on the fan to Max, recirculate inside air, and let it go for about 5 mins, turned down the fan, and all was good. Nice cool ride all the way home (45 min drive). I have tinted windows, so maybe that helps as well? Anyway, I have no real issue with the...

my first two tanks of gas, 28mpg/29mpg respectivly. Pretty conservative driving, but now i'm over the 600 mile mark so we'll see what this new tank gets.

My sentiments exactly. Re: the trunk release... I figure if Chevrolet will put it on their lowest model (and i'm talking about that Aveo thing) then why can't Mazda include it on their cars? It obviously doesn't cost that much to add. Granted, it's not a life or death thing, but it's just a...

I'm pretty sure that the headlights do turn off by themselves, tho, i think the parking lights remain on? Is this true anyone who owns this car? I also believe that the side view mirrors have a defrost to them, but again, i am not positive, confirmation from an owner is needed. :) Hopefully...

Just my opinion, but the Strato Blue looks purple in the sunlight.

I guess it will be worth looking into. I just noticed that the climate control unit for the Mazdz 6 looked an aweful lot like the one for the Mazda 3.

Sounds like a good enough reason to me.

My sentiments exactly!

I know we don't get that option here in NA but do you think we could get a unit from Europe and get it installed on our Mazda3 here? Or, do you think the Mazda6 unit will work in the Mazda3? Hmmmm... Just curious. It'd be a sweet option to add (esp here in the freaking hot desert!).

Never is a very strong word. I figure they are getting better at making cars these days and since everything is borrowed from other models currently on the market, there's not too much to be worried about. Some minor inconveniences are to be expected, but what car can promise that you won't...

Is there seriously no light in the truck of the Sedan? Why the hell would you leave something like that out? Espeically with the small opening. If I ever saw a trunk that absolutely needed a light, this would be it. Come on, even Chevy Cavaliers come with lights, as do their new cheap ass...

Thanks for the info! Only 1.5 months before I get my Mazda 3. Can't wait!!
