hmmmmm, HI btw, well for my experience i only been to 2 out of the 3 dealerships in Wpg, transcona is too far away for me. So that leaves Gerry and destination mazda. Out of the 2 destination mazda is more friendly, I'm still looking for the P5, and destination mazda did not push me into making a deal, that's because most of the sales rep were about 20s to 30s, while i had to deal with older reps at gerry's. So I say go to destination mazda on portage, they have much better service, and they won't push u unless you are ready to make a deal. My rep was Brad Coates. He is a nice guy, he may not know too much about the 4 gen and about the ZX5, but he knows enuf about the 3rd gen, unlike gerry.

I made my purchase from Gerry's... got to say, I was treated great... I agree, the salesmen are relatively older, except the one I dealt with. He was 28 and basically just shot the s**t with me the whole time... and rather than call me everyday, he simply sent me a letter saying that when I was ready to make a purchase, come down and see him and he'd give me the best deal. Needless to say, he did. As for the colour, I have the midnight blue and love it. You don't see it as much in the 'Peg so that's why I went with that choice!!

I bought my car from Gerry Gordon's too.......i didn't like the dealership in transcona because of the experience that I had there when my dad was looking at the protege around 2 years ago....plus if they are giving away free gas like that, you know that they are making up for that somewhere else....Gerry Gordon gave me a really good deal with my used car, there is no way i was able to get the price that they offered me at any other dealership most of the other ones told me that it would make more sense for me to try to sell it on my own.....I went to the steinbach dealership but they had no selection (they are in the middle of moving to a new dealership)....and destination mazda.......well don't even get me started on that......I know alot of people that have had horror stories from other dealerships that the owner of that one owns......but i have to admit they do seem to want to make a sale there.........you can tell that they are trying just about anything to get their name out....

Hmmm... I stopped by at Gerry Gordon's today and my experience was mixed. Vince was little too high pressure for my liking, and they will not come close to what I want for my Blazer. They seem to have this thing about going past the high black book value...

However, I did test drive a sweet black P5 with air, auto and a moon roof. Actually, I didn't even notice the moon roof until I came off the Donald St bridge and turned onto Broadway. I looked up and said "Huh?" I'm sooooo observant...

Anyways, it's a VERY sweet ride. I'm totally jelous of all you jerks that have them... I've heard complaints that the engine is underpowered, but I didn't notice that at all. Even with an automatic, that car has some jump to it. The only problem I had was with visibility while shoulder checking, but I'll get used to the headrest being there.

yeah vince is an idiot....i dealt with him once, and i wouldn't buy a car from that guy.......I dealt with the older guy with the white beard there is another guy that's good too...

well when i was at gerry there was a lot of pressure on me and my family. BTW, what color is the least seen in wpg cept for yellow, i can't stand yellow, so bright and cheerful, however my mother likes it. Any opinions on the color?

HS8, I haven't seen a lot of white or black. But I've already admitted that my powers of observation aren't very good

Well i guess it comes down to how the people are feeling when you come down....i had a pretty good experience... i like it with someone that treated me in an upfront way.......first time i went to Gerry Gordon's i ran into Vince....and he really bugged me.......he acted like i was wasting his time....i'm kind of young still and i guess he thought that i wasn't serious, so i left and went to steinbach.....I went back to the transcona dealership and they were pushy and that bugs me....and when i went to Destination i have to admit they weren't too bad....and that younger guy that was mentioned earlier on dealt with me.....and he wasn't too bad.....but he took too long to get back to me after i asked him to call me, and because of that i guess he lost a sale......the guy i bought my car from got my sale just because on the chance that i visited his dealership he was polite and not pushy....i had only gone there to find out more about the Mazda6 (that was the car i was orginally going to buy)....long story short i changed my mind and i decided that i liked the protege instead...good car i'm glad i didn't wait for the "6".....what i really wanted was the 5 door coupe.....and i guess that won't come out for another 2 years at least.....anways buy from whatever dealership you want just make sure they treat you in a respectful way......and if they start pressuring you leave.....they don't deserve your business

Hey guys, just checking in here. I drive one of the MP3s...I kinda get a little sad knowing that they are now making P5s in that beautiful colour just cuz it was supposed to be this unique colour for MP3s, but it is beautiful so I guess it won't be so bad.

I actually bought my car through Vince at Gerry Gordon's Mazda. At least for me, there wasn't any pressure, but of course it helped the matter that I really wanted the MP3 the moment I heard/saw it.

Hardly any flood risk,after they built "Duff's Ditch"[not named after the beer,but a former premier].
