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.

Improvements in the AC : rose coloured glasses? by autonomous

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

Yes, I would hope so.

"-addition of variable valve timing (VVT) to the 2.0L engine
-all models with air conditioning also contain ... ambient (outside) temperature display in the center instrument panel."
 
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.

Rebates and discounts? by bunk1968
May 31, 2005 (4:04 pm)

Can someone tell me if there are any other rebates available besides the Gerber rebate. I would like to know any and all discounts available.
I do own a 1992 Mazda Pick up, but I don't think that would give me any other discounts.
I called Mazda and they told me I could recieve the Gerber rebate and the Splan discount together.
  
Oh, and can anyone tell me if those black rubber like rear bumper protectors are worth it. I don't know if I would need them, but I was thinking of trying to unload and load my bike in the back of the hatch and thought those might be a good idea. Does anyone know if you can fit a bike in there? Does the moon roof deflecter create more wind noise?
Thanks.

Hello,
 
I am interested in buying a 2005 Mazda3s. Do you know if the AC problems you mention are happening with the Mazda3s also ? or just with the Mazda3i ?
 
Thanks

I just did the smartbuy (35 months and the optional ballon for month 36) for the Mazda6 and gave the dealer the certificate that mazda sent me for the Gerber rebate. He looked at it, was puzzled, but filled out a rebate form for the check to come straight to me.
I did not have the original ad that was referred to, but the dealer didn't have a problem with it, (he said the rebate comes right from mazda so it was no problem for him to fill out).
 
thanks to whomever first referenced this offer! You just saved me $500!!

Navigation System by mm3
May 31, 2005 (7:52 pm)

Question 1 about Navigation System:
 
Someone told me that there are about 6 different DVD's that cover different parts of the country for the Nav system. Does this mean that if I move say from Los Angeles to New York, my nav system will not work in NY unless I buy a new regional DVD?
 
I move around the country a lot and a Nav system would be expensive and useless to me if this were true. I was hoping that even if I bought my car in LA it would work all over the country w/o having to make additional purchases.
 
Question 2:
 
Is there any yearly or monthly fees for navi?
 
Thanks for any help!
