Replying to: relldon (May 03, 2009 9:23 am) Did take one 900 mile round trip to ST Louis last month and hit 30/31MPG at an average speed 72-73MPH Also am still quite satisfied with this car thus far. It's not as quick as my old 2006 Passat with the 2.0L Turbo that I traded for it but the savings at the pump, now that I'm buying 87 octane vs. 93, more than makes up for that. |

Replying to: hiwaystar (Jun 20, 2009 5:38 am) When I was trying to decide whether to buy this car or a hybrid, a co-worker helped me decide by asking if I was more likely to regret not buying this car or more likely to regret not buying the hybrid. Unless gasoline goes to $6 per gallon, I know I would have been more likely to regret not buying this car.

I'm wavering between.... Celestial Blue Gunmetal Blue or Liquid Silver. Crystal White Pearl is intriguing.. but I don't know if I want a white car. |

Replying to: jbbevel (Jun 22, 2009 10:06 am) IMO, pearl white doesn't fit the look/character of the Mazda3. It's a color I'd expect to see on a luxury car, but not on a sporty compact. I prefer a pure white, but it's not very common anymore. That being said, at least the Crystal White Pearl has a choice of either Black or Dune (beige) interior (as do Black and Graphite). Both Blues (and Silver) only have Black interior. I thought the combination of Graphite with Dune interior would be tacky, but I was really surprised when I saw it in person. But still, I'd vote for Celestial Blue...it's really a sharp-looking color and fits the car perfectly! |

Replying to: sonnyrocker (Jun 20, 2009 6:17 am) All I said was it does not have the "pick up/ballz" that the VW 2.0T had with it's 210HP which I knew going in. And even though the mileage is the same between them I like only needing to buy 87 octane with the Mazda. |
