Actually you may find that Canadian prices are more than 12% higher than US prices. Manufacturers have not adjusted their Canadian prices to reflect the more favourable Can/US exchange rates. You need to subscribe to Carcostcanada.com to get dealer invoice prices. I'm not sure about 2007 prices, but for previous model years, there wasn't a big spread between MSRP and invoice. I'm not 100% positive, but I think the spread was less than $2K.

Did you subscribe? There are others that provide a similar service for a fee including APA (Automobile Protection Association).

Yes, I have subscribed to Carcostcanada. But it's not an unlimited subscription in that you can look up the invoice cost for an unlimited number of models. Essentially you pay for each model you look up. You can pay piece-meal or you can buy a package.

Hello happy mazda 3 owners. I am thinking of buying mazda3 2.0L with manual tranny and from some reviews I know that driving mazda at 110 km/h and over engine revs are pretty high. What can you tell about engine noise at that speed and road noise. How you'd compare it with other cars.
Thanks for your feedback. Enjoy your cars.

Floating bumper and rear fender clips. by jodys4

I own a 2004 Mazda3 and I am noticing the floating bumper is out further than the rear fender. It seems like the clips do not hold the floating bumper in place. I have asked Mazda service department and they indicated that it is a non issue but I disagree. Have anybody else noticed this issue with the Mazda3? Does anybody know what causes this problem?

I just owned the new 2007 GS auto for 2 weeks. I didn't find the engine noisy at a relatively high speed. The rev is always under 3, most times at 2. Again I have never pushed too hard on the car since it's still fresh. Anyway I don't feel it has any problem to reach 110. In fact it's still under 3 when I goes on 140KM/h one time.

Looking at trading my 2004 Mazda3 GS (64,000kms) with Automatic for a 2007 3GS with Auto. Anyone have a suggestion on what the price difference should be.

Mazda Canada : Revisiting pricing by autonomous
Oct 26, 2007 (1:38 pm)

With the Canadian - US dollars at par what justifies the significant difference in vehicle pricing? In the case of the Mazdaspeed3 the difference is close to $7500 or roughly 30%. Here is what Mazda Canada told me when I posed that question to them last month.

Thank you for your taking the time to write to Mazda Canada Inc. We welcome correspondence from Mazda owners and are pleased to offer clarification when ever possible.
 
Pricing in the U.S. and Canada is different because we are significantly differing markets. The United States has a significantly greater ability for volume purchasing than other smaller markets such as Canada. It is no different than any other retail market. Please understand that Mazda Canada Inc. does not compete with its U.S. counterpart. As such, changes in the Canadian product pricing will likely be driven by the Canadian auto market as a whole rather than currency market fluctuations or other markets.
 
Should the strength of the Canadian currency prove to be long-lasting, we have no doubt that all Canadian manufacturers and distributors, including Mazda Canada Inc., will consider re-visiting their pricing.
 
Regards,
Mazda Canada Inc."
 
p.s. Regarding the lack of competition mentioned, dealerships are forbidden to do so with new vehicles.

Mazda Canada : Getting the message by autonomous

A head of a consumer group is recommending that consumers hold off their purchases of new vehicles until 2008 to send a message to dealers and manufacturers that they have to respond to the rise of Canadian currency. In effect, this would represent a boycott of Canadian dealerships that are not acting responsibly. Canadian prices are well over any threshold of reasonableness in terms of vehicle pricing. We are not discussing differences of 10% here but closer to 30% and more! There is a need for more transparency and honesty in order for consumers to understand how prices are set. Manufacturers and dealers need to realize that they are alienating their client base by not addressing this issue.

You cannot blame dealers for the price disparity between the US and Canada. It is entirely the manufacturers' responsibility to set MSRP in both countries.
