Hey congrats on the new purchase, looks beautiful. Surprised to hear you both preferred the 15 over the 16...I haven't seen the 16 in person yet but everyone has been glowing about the "improved" interior. I had a similar experience to you a few weeks ago when purchasing, I kept coming back to...

Nice, looks to be in good shape. What are your plans?

Mazda recently released a TSB to fix the entire stereo module, mostly having to do with poor bluetooth and ipod connectivity. You may consider bringing it to the dealer to have this service done in hopes that it will fix the sat nav as well.

My mother in law has one, launch edition from a few years ago. Pretty fun to drive but a little underpowered (which they've since fixed with the turbo model) and lacks steering feel like all Hyundais. It's small though, basically a large 2x2 with limited space. Less functional than the P5 by...

Whoops, honest mistake, just looked at the name at the top of this page and not at the original post. My bad!

Hey thanks, all. Drove the 3 and liked it a lot, but the road noise was a little much for a brand new car and I liked the extra space of the 6 inside. Also, I HATE the front license plate placement on the 3, it ruins the look. Congrats to i12drivemyMP5 on the Lexus, looks beautiful!

Was recently faced with the exact same dilemma when I had another major part failure. The problem I've been running into with the P5 is time: I work a lot currently and whenever something goes wrong on the car I'm forced to move, adjust, or outright cancel large parts of my schedule. As much as...

Definitely a window tint soon, I've had that for several years and feel weird driving around without it. I also will most likely do some extra sound deadening in the doors and upgrade the infotainment unit...the stock one is pretty bad. The Bose system could and should sound better than it does...

Picked this up over the weekend, Touring with Moonroof/Bose for $22k/$24k out the door. Pretty happy with it so far, MUCH more refined than my Protege5. The ride quality of the 19" wheels on LA freeways is my only concern. Take a look!

Sadly, it almost certainly will not happen. The diesel has been coming "later this year" for at least 2 years now, and the wagon has never been in their plans because of the conflict of interest with the CX-5. We may see AWD in a Mazdaspeed 6 if it ever happens. The Mazdas we dream of having...

Agreed on all counts, which is why I have yet to purchase something newer. I'm excited to try the refreshed 2016 Mazda 6 (which supposedly has better NVH) and the Golf Sportwagen whenever they are released.
