    A buddy of mine just tried swapping out his ugly-a$$ shifter knob from his '91 Ford Probe GT with my OEM Mazda3 shifter knob... I'll be darned if it didn't screw right on!

    Cargo net in sedan

    Does any one have a good pic of the cargo net installed in their sedan (or hatchback, if they go in the same). I have a cargo net from my last car buried in a box in storage, and thought I might dig it out and be able to use it if it was similar. ~Bart~

    Hi! Does anyone have experiencing ordering cars late in the model year? I want to make sure i get all the options I want, the colour, and brand new (not driven by some madman-afternoon-test-driver like me). I'm paying down some bills before I order myself a Mazda3, but it may not be until...

    Mazda 3 with MP3 player

    I'll be getting a Mazda 3 soon (GT sedan w/ GFX pkg). The wife wants the blue... I'm going to try to talk her into the black ;) Has anyone purchases this with the MP3 player, or know anything regarding it? Is the sound quality the same os the CD-version, or better? Thanks!
