newbe from nc
hello to all i did not see a new members thread so i figured this would be the best place to start since the car is a 07 mazda 3 it has 17 miles it is phantom purple mica(not my first choice but looks pretty good and is growing on me fast) but anyways im taking delivery of this car on monday and was wanting to know......... i read on a mazda forum a while back that there is a way to put in a override to make it where you can get your average mpg and other things in the display i was wandering if anyone here knew how to do that cause i bought the base model 3i which does not have that.....anyways im in clyde nc. (near asheville) and ive got high hopes for my mazda hopefully it will be better than my focus ill post up picks soon

oh no that sucks about the gas mileage with the focus! Yeah um the 3i gets ridiculous gas mileage last I checked, like 40mpg highway. For such a nice car, that's just such awesomeness 
Chris really is DA MAN! Good luck with the 3 - the purple is an awesome color! Enjoy your stay there are good peoples afoot.
