Thank you for posting this info on the $500 Gerber-sponsored Mazda rebate it worked out great for me.
 
Now I just need to make up my mind to buy now or wait untill September for the 2006 model.
 
The 2006 MAZDA3 is a carry-over model, but there are some exciting new
features for 2006 models including:
 
-addition of variable valve timing (VVT) to the 2.0L engine
-addition of PZEV (for five states) to the 2.3L engine
-addition of a 5-Speed Sport AT to the 2.3L engine.
-all models with air conditioning also contain a pollen filter and
ambient (outside) temperature display in the center instrument panel.
-all 2.3L models add standard ABS and variable-intermittent front
wipers.
-the new 2.3L ?s Grand Touring? model (which replaces the successful
05MY Special Edition SP23) contains the SP23 features plus automatic
climate control and a driving information system (trip computer).
-there are two new exterior colors for 2.3L models: Copper Red Mica
(replaces Lava Orange) and Whitewater Pearl Mica (replaces Rally
White).
 
I wonder what the chances are of getting a 2005 at invoice?
 
Thanks!

Does anyone know about the $500 ACOG rebate???
 
Also...if I buy my new M3 tomorrow and don't have the $500 Gerber Rebate tomorrow (They are sending it to me), will I still be able to get it?
 
Does anyone know any info on the June incentives for the Mazda 3?

I wonder if they've made any improvements in the AC system for 2006? If they did, they probably wouldn't advertise it as this would amount to admitting there was a deficiency in the current models.

Thats what I was hoping for, seeing that the AC will have a pollen filter it makes me wonder if its a new improved version of the AC. I also am curious if it is the 2004's and 2005's that had AC issues. It seens that not everyone has a problem with it but here in Oklahoma it would be big issue for me.

Hmm, I would have thought that the manufacturer was doing a good job by constantly innovating to improve their systems. Call me naive.

arrgg... this is exactly what my old Chevy Prizm had and i loved that car (1.8L VVT = 41mpg hwy).
 
if they dont fix the a/c issues in my 2005 3i by Feb 2006, i'm trading it in for a 2006 3i (assuming no problems on the 2006 3's).

AC defect by z71bill

It seems like more 2004 model Mazda3's have AC problems - but a few complaints are starting to show up in the 2005's - I would guess this is a direct result of the temperatures starting to warm up.
 
I am more concerned about Mazda's complete lack of support for the unlucky customers that ended up with defective AC systems. Letting customers twist in the wind (sounds better that sweat in the heat) seems to be SOP for Mazda.
