So..what's the verdict on these 2 issues? Are they limited to pre-'06 Mz3? It appears there is at least a fix for the shift shock. How about the A/C? Has that been cured for '06+? There are some pretty attractive lease deals out there, especially for the Sport, but I won't live with weak A/C (been there, done that with a '90 Civic, and a '97 CR-V).

I just signed the lease for a 2007 GS auto base option in a Montreal dealership: MSRP: 19,995 Auto: 1,000 Freight: 1,225 Extra color: 105 Total: 22,325 Discount: -925 Grad discount: -500 (tax incl) Free option: nothing.  5.9% for 48 months lease with 0% down for $327/m (tax incl). I have to pay the air tax, tire tax, processing fee = $180, and the first month payment 327 on the delivery day. I am completely new to car leasing, so here are my questions: 1) The buyback value of the car is 10,995 for the 25K km limit per year. Do I have to pay tax on it if I want to keep the car after 4 years? (yea I know, a dumb question) 2) I drive 50KM (round) to work everyday, do I need the extra 5K per year for $10/m? 3) Do I need the extended warranty for $10/m, or the wear-care for $18/m? 4) The dealer didn't agree to guarantee the mileage <50 km on the delivery. Is it reasonable? The last question, is it a good deal? Thanks.

Replying to: luco (Sep 28, 2006 8:12 pm) Yes, if you buy the car after the lease, you pay sales tax and GST on the buyout price. 2) You already have a 25K km lease. Your work mileage is around 14K km. How much do you drive for pleasure. Only you would know whether you need to buy extra km allowance. 3) No and No. I wouldn't anyway. 4) If the mileage is less than 50km upon delivery, then I wouldn't fret too much. If it is more, don't take delivery. So check it before signing on the dotted line. (Where is he getting the car from? Another dealer?) Overall, I think it's a decent lease deal. The lease rate could be lower, but....it is what it is! BTW, which model are you looking at? The sedan or the hatch? I think the hatch has better lease deals. Also, I think their shorter term leases offer lower lease rates. Check it out on their website.

Replying to: bodble2 (Sep 28, 2006 10:03 pm) I prefer purchasing rather than leasing. Mazda Canada has had some very interesting purchase financing options, like 0% for 24 months. I bought my Protege5 at 1.9% for 36 months; the cost of borrowing (COB) was under $500. In effect, the interest paid is part of the final price of the car and so it's worthwhile getting the lowest rate possible.
