Hi all, did some searching and found this link:
http://media.ford.com/mazda/article_display.cfm?article_id=23151
 
There's quite a few enhancements to the 2007 model. If I read it right, the changes are:
- Minor facelift (new front bumper) as well as std/opt equipment changes (trim levels remain the same):
- ABS std on all trims
- side airbags std on all trims
- curtain airbags std on all trims
- LED tails (GTs)
- aux audio input jack
- a 2nd 12V power outlet
- heated cloth seats (std on GTs)
- rear armrest w/cupholders
- AC, cruise and Power pkg std on GS sedan
- GFX pkg std on GT sedan
- several new exterior colours
- opt xenons
- opt auto climate control

Good find. However, the article is US based and may not necessarily apply to us in Canada.
 
BTW, where did you see the info on auto climate control? The AC, cruise and Power pkg on GS sedan has always been standard, at least in my 2005 GS sedan.

I found most of the info on that Ford media site. The info about xenons and auto-climate I found on another Mazda 3 forum. So yeah that info is certainly not as official as the Ford site. Maybe I'll drop by the dealer and see if they'd be willing to confirm anything.
 
Here's hoping Mazda Canada doesn't strip out features that will be available on the US models! I'd love to have the aux input jack on the stereo, and the side/curtain airbags would be nice too.

This is very interesting.My 2002 Protege5 has had two abs sensors replaced (one under warranty,one my cost).The rear rotors were machined and brake pads replaced to correct a brake squeel, calipers cleaned and slides lubed (my cost),front rotors replaced,new pads, calipers serviced,(my cost) and now the rears need servicing.
Mazda Canada today refused any help. They cited the fact that I had the rotors replaced at another shop. It didn't matter that the brakes were a safety issue and needed attention asap.
The real kicker here is that I have LESS than 32,000km on the vehicle. The customer service rep was defensive and refused all dialog except to say "we can't help".
Given the history of brake problems I'm thinking I should follow your example and persist further.

My 2002 Protege5 has had better luck than yours since its riding on its original brakes after 73,000 km. Your annual driving figure seems unusually low; does that mean you drive only seasonally or just infrequently? Having your brakes serviced by a non-Mazda shop may be interpreted by the company as non-expert work that impacts the warranty. That's one reason why I had all essential work during the warranty period done at the same dealer; they have all the work on file. In addition, the fact that you are now out of the 3 year warranty period may make it difficult to get restitution. But, we wish you the best.

My claim to Mazda by david82

I just want to give you an update on my claim. They finally agreed to refund me for the grooved rotors. I didn't have to write a letter to Mazda Canada. I simply contacted them by phone and they in turn contacted the Service Mgr at the dealership.

Just wondering what's people's feedback on this car? My friend is thinking of getting the 5 door 2.3L.

Dherman:
I think it's difficult to claim relief from MC if there's no TSB, which actually extends the warranty period and MC actually admits there are defects on the parts. You can see from my experience, I had to fight hard to get the refund. But David82 is more lucky. He just called and got the refund.
