Hi, Just like to know for those of you that have bought a Mazda 3 GS model with auto in the Toronto/GTA area, at what price did you get the vehicle on the road for? Thanks.

Basically, it seens Mazda has apparently done nothing to solve the air conditioning problem in the vehicle. With the 2006 model year coming near the end of the year (2005), will the air conditioning problem be resolved? Or will Mazda do nothing about it since it technically works?

Hi, Just like to know how many people on the forums here have a 2005 Mazda 3? I've been reading the forums, and it seems that the first year production of this vehicle (2004) seems to have a lot of problems with major problems being the air conditioning, excessive rear brake dust and something...

Thanks for the quick reply Dexter. Just like to know what does "IIRC" stand for?

I could not find the this information on the Mazda website (Canada). Just like to know if the Mazda 3 uses "drive by wire" technology or the cable system?

Blondie, since you got your Mazda 3GT (auto, GFX package) for a little over $26,300, I'm assuming you reside in Alberta?

On the (Canadian) Mazda website, the price for the 2005 Mazda 6 is out, but not the specs. The prices arcoss on every Mazda 6 is cheaper than last model year. But is this year's model year (2005) better than last model year if you exclude the new automatic transmisson for the V6?

Just went to a Mazda dealership today (November 10) and asked a sale person if they had any 2005 Mazda 6 at the dealership today. He said, that the 2005 model won't arrive till sometime early next year. Is this true?

Any more opinions/comments? After knowing what problems you people have with your vehicle, would you recommend this vehicle to someone and would you buy the vehicle again. Before buying this vehicle, if you knew what you know now, would you still buy the Mazda 3?

For all of you having a hard shift with your vehicle's transmission, are you driving automatic or manual?

The "Tire Calculator" doesn't seem to be working?

If I use the size P205/55R16 (factory recommended) for winter tires and rim, then the overall circumference will be off a bit compared to the stock GT (GFX package) which is P205/50R17. Since the overall circumference is a bit off, then the speedometre would be off as well. Why would the...

On the Mazda 3 (2.3) GT with the GFX package, the tire dimension is 205/50R17. I could use the tire dimension 195/60R16 (basically from the GT model but no GFX pacakge) and it would fit right? The overall circumference would stay the same, or do I have to get the exact numbers 205/50R17. The...

Just like to know how is the VIN interpreted? I know the first letter correspond to where the vehicle is manufactured/assembled. But what about after the first letter, what do thoe letters and numbers after it represent?

How can tell on the VIN when the vehicle was made (month and year)?
