just wanted to say hi just picked up the car last night, the thing drives nice and has lots of power. had a A4 be for this one, this one kills in the performance but lacks in some lutury items but its worth the loss of them, and this thing is getting me great mpg last night when i got home i was AVG 28+. cant wait till the breaking period is done.

I was just wondering about the paint on the cars, is it good or should i spend the money on the clear bra? also i thought the in dash CD changer played MP3, do any mazdas? BTW i got the speed3 GT with Nav

 

i believe you have to order the MP3 option. i thought the same as you when i bought my wife's mazda3 GT last year. hers has the six disc but no mp3 option.

mazda paint is typically so so but i am hoping the newer cars are better than prior models in terms of quality.

 

The mp3 is an option. It's an iPod capable program. Apple and Mazda teamed up to do it all. You can order it thru your dealer. I'm not too sure of the cost. I work at a Mazda dealership in Hattiesburg, MS but I'm on the used lot or I could run to parts and check it for you. I believe the pricing is on mazdausa.com tho if you wanna check it out there.
