Replying to: backy (Dec 24, 2007 7:46 am) oh man. I liked the traditional real wood looking textures, that are reddish, to orange. I really don't like the dark grained textured thing, like my Acura TL S has. I'd rather have metallic trim.

Replying to: tpulak (Dec 25, 2007 7:54 am) The problem with the new Impala (as opposed to the previous model -pre 2006) is that the gas mileage is a lot lower. We were averaging 28 mpg on the 2004 model vs. 24.5 on the 2007 model with the SAME driving mix.

Replying to: jlawrence01 (Dec 26, 2007 7:46 pm) Ok, but do they have the same engine size? My 2004 has the smaller 3.4L. Replies to this message: jlawrence01 (Dec 29, 2007 10:06 pm) lostwrench (Dec 30, 2007 3:23 pm)

Replying to: jlawrence01 (Dec 29, 2007 10:06 pm) Chevy did not put any 3.4L engines in the 2007 Impala. Perhaps you bought yours used and the original engine was swapped?
#41 of 49 Consumer Reports says.... by aviboy97 Jan 05, 2008 (6:31 am)
...the Mazda3gets the same fuel economy as the Honda Civic EX. Mazda3 gets 30 overall vs the Honda at 31 overall. This is on their list of "Top 12 Gas Savers". Surprisingly, they Toyota Corolla is not on this list. Replies to this message: backy (Jan 05, 2008 11:51 am)

Replying to: aviboy97 (Jan 05, 2008 6:31 am) That is odd. CR got 28 mpg for the Civic EX AT they most recently tested, but 29 mpg for the Corolla LE AT. So putting the Civic on the "top 12 gas savers" list but not the Corolla is very strange, especially since the AT versions are the most popular.   Actually, in CR's tests the Mazda3i got better overall FE than the Civic EX. The Mazda3i got 30 mpg overall with the AT and 33 mpg with the MT. The Civic EX got 28 mpg overall with the AT and 31 mpg with the MT.
#43 of 49 Mazda 3 ....reliable?? by tpulak Jan 05, 2008 (12:42 pm)
I heard some people in the Mazda 3 forum complaining about tranny problems, at 70k miles. Is this true? Are there more problems? Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Jan 06, 2008 6:10 pm) poncho167 (Jan 12, 2008 5:30 am) aviboy97 (Jan 12, 2008 7:29 am) backy (Jan 12, 2008 8:03 am)
#44 of 49 Mazda3i manual gas mileage by nsbio1 Jan 05, 2008 (12:49 pm)
Brand-new 2008 Mazda3i, real-world mileage, 2nd tank (1-st refueling after the dealer-filled tank), 29.1mpg in mixed driving. Mileage might even improve with mileage (pardon the pun), after the car is fully broken in.
