Bigfur & Backy, thanks for your help on this topic. I decided to go for the GT (heated leather seats). After a bit more research, I decided that some of the GT's upgrades that I thought were frivolous (such as the HID headlights) were really worthwhile. I've seen a few aftermarket seat heaters (both the "under seat cover" types" and the external cushion types) advertised, but no idea how well they work, or if they'd interfere with the weight sensor for the front-passenger airbag.
I found one link for heated mirrors, at racepages.com; parts cost was $300 for the pair.

Im trying to get an 07 GT right now. Biggest problem is i dont want a white or silver one, and i want a five speed so i have to wait a month or two till the dealer even has any in stock. I have a truck right now with heated seats and was told by the gf my next vehical needed to have them too! HA Either way the only options i didnt want were the nav system (i know where im going) and the sunroof, being im 6'5 i need the head room. My only concern is im gonna end up with one with a sunroof being that it is all they have coming in now, so im wondering has anyone else had a head room issue with the sunroof installed?

Bigfur, my situation is similar - I ordered my 07 GT with 5-speed, no sunroof (only 5'11", but like to sit upright, so loss of headroom was an issue), no nav (I already have a portable nav), in galaxy gray. I was told ordering from the factory could take as long as 90 days - OK, I'll wait to get exactly what I want, as I plan on driving this car for the next decade.

I'm 6'4", and have no problems with the sunroof. I do have to have the seat on a lower setting, but it is not on the lowest. When I sat in the showroom one back in '05, I never thought I would fit, but that model had the driver's side cranked up to the top. I do enjoy the sunroof!

07 Mazda 3 has traction/stability control standard?

Edmunds lists the 2007 Mazda 3 having traction control and stability control as standard features. I checked the Mazda USA web site and those features are not even listed as options. So, does the US spec. Mazda 3 have traction control and stability control at all? I was all set to buy the 2007 Mazda 3 but if these features are indeed not available, I'm looking elsewhere.

The only reference I can see to stability control on the Mazda website is for the MazdaSpeed 3

Traction Control and DSC come as part of the 3s Touring package.

That lever for raising and lowering the seat is something ill have to get used to. During a test drive i kept grabbing that to adjust the seat back. Only major concern i have about this car is that i live in Minnesota and im about to give up my 4wd that i have had for the last decade or so. Just hope im not making a mistake. HA!

I too am in MN. While the Mazda 3 is no Jeep, I had no problems last year with the Dunlops on. It was a pretty easy winter though. What dealership are you going through?
