Replying to: shipo (Jul 11, 2008 9:47 am) How about a Jetta Diesel?   Fine, if reliability isn't an issue....

#839 of 879 Navigation and Color? by ylz Jul 16, 2008 (3:05 pm)
Hello everyone. I decided I'm buying a 2008 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback. I have two important questions and would love to hear feedback on it so anything would help. First, how is the Navigation in this car? Someone who has the Nav, please comment on this. I mean, honestly I really want it cause it looks good and I'm always travelling and a Nav system would come so in handy. And the second question I have is what color do you guys prefer. I was all set on black until I went to the dealership today and saw metropolitan gray. What a gorgeous color! Its like dark grey but with a touch of blue. Actually, it looks bluish-grayish. I know these two things seem unimportant but it will really affect my decision on this car. Ok, thanks a lot.

Replying to: shipo (Jul 11, 2008 9:47 am) How about a Jetta Diesel? Per the (rediculously low) EPA numbers, the 2009 Jetta Sedan gets 30 mpg city and 41 mpg highway, and it is available with all of the other goodies that you say are "non negotiable".   Can't say about the 09 models, but no 08 Jettas have leather interior as an option. And, here in SC, when I was in the market last January, the closest Jetta with factory NAV was in Texas, according to the local VW dealer. Of course, you could order one with NAV and wait 60+ days...

Replying to: busiris (Jul 16, 2008 5:55 pm) "Can't say about the 09 models, but no 08 Jettas have leather interior as an option."   Really? What about the Jetta GLI? I'm pretty sure that the GLI has been available with the Autobahn Package (which includes leather) for several years now.   Regarding the NAV system, yeah, most folks don't seem to want it, and so they're kind of hard to come by. For my part at least, I have no problem waiting for sixty days to have a car built exactly to my specifications, so I don't think that's unreasonable, but that's just me.   FWIW, I ran across a 2009 option sheet a month or so back on a different board, and I'm 90% positive that the top trim level is available with leather seating and NAV.   Best Regards, Shipo Replies to this message: busiris (Jul 18, 2008 2:37 pm)

I'm pretty sure that the GLI has been available with the Autobahn Package (which includes leather) for several years now.   The last time I was on the VW web-site, the GLI was considered a different model than the Jetta, even thought the body style is the same. A technical difference, I admit, but the GLI is oriented as a "performance" model.   Going through the thread, it didn't seem to be the direction the poster was headed, in my opinion.   As for me, when I was shopping last January, VW had the sale, but lost it due to a fuel efficient model with decent options, such as leather, self-diming interior rear-view mirror and other options that were easily found on other competitor's models.

Replying to: peddler3 (Jul 14, 2008 5:26 pm) I think you still need to be in Canada to get heated mirrors (because we don't get ice in the states).. kind of screwed up considering Hyundais and Kias have 'em.   But I found this link for heated side mirrors: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=MorePartInfo&PartID=4670- 48&siteid=214264&catalogid=4010 Replies to this message: shipo (Jul 25, 2008 6:23 am)
#844 of 879 Mazda3 VSC by cyshes Jul 25, 2008 (5:25 am)
Any chance the 2009 Mazda3i will come with stability control (VSC)? I think it's the only thing that's really preventing me from going with the Mazda3.
