I was test driving a CX-5 GT a few weeks ago and I couldn't get comfortable with the bottom cushion and it felt to flat to me; I'm spoiled I guess with Volvo seats being uber comfy. Though I test drove the new 6 GT right after and loved that seat, fit like a glove!

Volvo's have had this feature since 2007, it really is a nice feature.

Several dealers still have more than +24 2013 CX-5 in stock near me in NJ; the majority of them being Touring models w/Bose Pkg which I'm actually in favor of getting.

congrats! The bluetooth feature for text messages may need to be turned on through your "speech" settings on your phone. At least that's how it is on my WindowsPhone8.

Like the last poster mentioned, but good set of tires will go along way. I had upgraded my tires to Continental ExtremeContact DWS and the 3 handled amazing in rain/snow/ice. Also, you may want to shut your traction control off in deep snow, because you want some slippage, not the engine...

I love the new 5.8" Touchscreen they added on the 2013 models. Good luck and congrats on the new purchases!

Those Bridgestone's are terrible once it gets cold and damp out during the winter months. I replaced them after 7500miles with Continental ExtremeContact DWS when I had my MZ3.

Here's a nice little comparison test by MotorTrend for compacts that get 40MPG....no Surprise the Mazda 3 wins overall! http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/1208_40_mpg_compact_sedan_comparison/ My fiancee and I torn right now on what car to get for our needs; either a Mazda 3 i-Grand...

Damn, glad everyone was ok! One of the selling points for me with the Mazda 3 was the fact the car was built with Ford/Volvo and it looks like some of the Volvo safety features trickled its way down into the solid safety rating for the MZ3.

These are the OEM mud guards that I had on my i-Touring, but they don't fit the S models if I'm not mistaken or the side skirt also. I was very happy with them and they blocked all the crap from spraying up.

Wow seems the 3 and CX-5 are the only ones with GOOD head restraints across the board. Safety is a big issue for (as I'm a Volvo owner), I'm glad that the 2010 MZ3 i-Touring that I had was a very safe car. Nice to see the safety ratings for the CX-5 since my wife wants one of those.

I had 35w Slim ballasts from DDMtuning in my 2010 MZ3 and they worked perfectly fine. Plug n Play with no extra harnesses.

Congrats! If I get another MZ3 it'll definitely be the hatchback version! Which trim did you get? And of course post pics! lol

It's fairly an easy process to install factory foglamps. I installed them on my 2010 i-Touring and it required me to pull off the front bumper which only took about 5-10min depending on your skill level and then you just install everything on the bumper and reconnect it to your car. You also...

What are the options? I had a 2010 3 i-Touring sedan and was very happy with it and thought the quality level was perfectly fine. I had the Bose/Moon Pkg, factory fogs, wheel locks, mudflaps & Simonize Glasscoat (interior/exterior). I traded it in with 28,000 miles and didn't have an ounce of...
