Has anyone tried Exactmats before? Living in Northern CA, I don't need all the protection from heavy duty mats like Weathertech and Husky and I would rather keep the factory carpet mats. This looks like a nice option to place on top of the factory mats to protect them from dirt and wear...

It's too bad that they had the best price out of all the dealers in the Bay Area for the trim and configuration I was looking for. I really wanted to do business with Putnam Mazda in Burlingame but their CX-5 stock was limited.

runtohell121, I feel your pain... I purchased my CX-5 last weekend from Fremont Mazda and I agree they seem like a shady dealership. I learned what to watch out for from my past experience at Menlo Mazda in Redwood City. Long story short, Menlo inflated my monthly payment figure on my Mazda3...

I know this part already but my question was how to get to the ACC mode from the engine running, not from the engine off. Thanks, this worked! Now I just have to remember to push the button before shifting into "P".

Sorry if these have been answered already but I have a couple questions after having this car for just over a day: Push button start is pretty cool, but is there a way to turn off the car and still listen to the radio? I've looked in the manual and I can't see anything about this. If I'm...

I wish that was the case. They're also charging me an $80 doc fee. I've never heard of paying registration fees for multiple years. Registration is annual in CA, including the initial fee at the dealership. Although it'll be much lower than $277 after the first year.

About to pull the trigger on a 2014.5 Touring FWD w/tech: $25,750 before TTL and loyalty rebate. The dealer gave me a breakdown of the fees and they are charging $324 for DMV registration. The DMV website has a registration calculator that says $277. Can anyone in the SF Bay Area confirm what...

ok that makes sense, I always thought they were national incentives not regional.

Isn't the loyalty rebate $750? From the Mazda website: Current Mazda owners can get $750 Mazda Capital Services Owner Appreciation Cash toward the lease or purchase of a new 2014 Mazda3 5-Door or CX-5.

Yes, I've been looking around too and I notice anything starting with "4" is ususally the updated 2014.5s

Can anyone tell me if this is a good price for a white 2014 Touring FWD w/tech? $26,298 before TTL and $750 loyalty rebate. TrueCar has this configuration at $27,554 but with the 2015's almost here I don't know how accurate that is now.

Sorry if this might be a newbie question but..... I'm thinkin of buying an aftermarket alarm system on my 3 since it only has the engine immobilizer. But would getting a new alarm mean that I would have to take out the factory immobilizer and replace the factory remote? Or would I have to carry...

CONCLUSION: So I actually called my salesperson the day after I bought my car, and explained everything to her, but she said she needed to talk it over with the F&I guy to figure out the numbers. Fine, so I wait and she never calls me back. The next day I call and look for her but "surprise"...

This might be a little long and confusing but I'd like to know everyone's opinion. I bought a Mazda3 hatch over the weekend for $18670 before taxes and rebates. I paid off all my student loans on time and I pay all my credit card bills on time, so I would assume that I have good, if not great...
