#67 of 121 Re: BOSE option and MP3 CDs [roadburner] by gordonwd Nov 16, 2007 (5:28 am)
Replying to: roadburner (Nov 14, 2007 4:30 pm) That's weird. Why would they make so many changes midway thru the '08 model year when they are going to come out with an all-new car (or at least major makeover) for 2009?   I'd like to find out more about this, not only because of the MP3 compatibility, but because they also mention the power seat standard in the Grand Touring model. If this is the way they're going to go for what they bring into the U.S., we might wait to get one that's built after Jan. 1. Of course, it looks like that would also mean picking another color, since both Phantom Purple and Phantom Blue are being dropped!

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 14, 2007 4:30 pm) Roadburner, since the info in that sheet that you posted may have a serious impact on my car buying plans, I'd like to confirm that these are world-wide, or at least U.S.-specific changes, and that I'm not looking at changes for the Australian market or something . I see that you're U.S.-based, so can I assume that this will apply to cars imported into this country?

Replying to: gordonwd (Nov 16, 2007 11:42 am) I obtained the information from a Mazda-specific board that is based in the US. As far as I know, the changes apply to US cars. Note that the document refers to the "Mazdaspeed3". In Europe and Australia the car is called the "MPS 3". Replies to this message: gordonwd (Nov 19, 2007 11:44 am) roadburner (Nov 20, 2007 12:12 pm)

Replying to: gordonwd (Nov 16, 2007 5:28 am) This is similar to what Mazda did for 2007 and 2008 with the Mazda6--added a "value edition". Since the Mazda6 is all-new for 2009 MY (2008 CY), it's probable we won't see a redesigned Mazda3 until 2010 MY (2009 CY). That timing is reinforced by Mazda making this change for 2008 on the Mazda3. Replies to this message: ahightower (Nov 17, 2007 8:21 pm)

Replying to: backy (Nov 17, 2007 7:59 pm) That's what I'm hoping - the redesign comes in CY '09 for MY '10. I just bought an '08 and would hate to see it outdated so soon. Same thing happened when we bought our 2005 Yukon. Redesigned '07's came out the following spring. I actually prefer our '05 for a number of reasons, but to the casual observer it might as well be 8 years old, not just over 2.

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 17, 2007 9:44 am) Thanks. You have no idea what it means to us to be able to get everything we want on this particular car. Our three concerns with the current '08 were: no power seat, no guaranteed MP3 compatibility, and we were not wild about the color choice. We could have lived with it, but our dealer just verified these changes, and tomorrow I'll go down and order our Mazda3 Grand Touring in Copper Red -- the color that my wife in particular has always wanted to get on her next car.   So for us this sounded too good to be true, which is why I questioned it. I owe you one. Replies to this message: roadburner (Nov 20, 2007 12:12 pm)

#74 of 121 Sirius display content and quality by elenem Nov 30, 2007 (6:33 am)
Hi, I just got a 2008 Mazda3 GT and am considering adding the Sirius receiver. Can anyone who has it comment on the display when using the satellite? Is all the information that you get with an external satellite receiver available (station, artist, song title)? How does it look? Easy to read? How many characters display? If someone could post a picture or two that would be great, too! Thanks!
