#572 of 653 What 2010 color do you like the best? by jbbevel Jun 22, 2009 (10:06 am)
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) jbbevel, I have the celestreal blue and it doesn't show the dirt, the liquid silver will be the same, The white will show the dirt but it is a nice color and cost more. The lighter the car the easier to cool off compared to a dark color.

Replying to: jbbevel (Jun 22, 2009 10:06 am) The Celestial Blue and Gunmetal Blue are my two top picks! I originally tried to find my '06 MZ3 in a color called Winning Blue, which was very similar to Celestial Blue. They were hard to find, though....so I ended up with Titanium Gray.   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: unicorn62 (Jun 20, 2009 2:59 pm) 35 MPG is fantastic. I wish that I could attain that level on a consistent basis. But, again, I'm willing to sacrifice MPGs a little for performance. That's why I didn't choose a Honda Insight. My car is a liquid silver metallic which was surprisingly difficult to find in a manual transmission. But I'm glad I found it. Thanks for the tip about Shell gas. I'll give it a try and see if it makes any difference for me. Replies to this message: unicorn62 (Jun 23, 2009 2:35 pm)

Replying to: sonnyrocker (Jun 20, 2009 6:17 am) I didn't realize I was complaining. In fact I'm not complaining at all.   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.

Replying to: hiwaystar (Jun 20, 2009 5:38 am) I must give credit where it is due- the VW 2.0L Turbo is the smoothest turbo I've ever driven! Most turbochargers are like an on/off switch, fairly gutless until you hit a certain rpm then they pin you back in your seat. VW tuned the 2.0L for low and mid-range torque, so it acts more like a big V6.   Then again, the on/off pin you back in the seat thrust of the MAZDASPEED3 is a lot of fun, too! I could get in some serious trouble with that kind of power.   Back on topic- 30/31mpg is very impressive. I have a 2006 MZ3 with the 2.3L and 5-speed manual and I average about 26mpg overall. The best I've ever managed on a trip is 28.4mpg with the cruise set on 75mph driving from Atlanta to Birmingham. That 6th gear would be very useful!

Replying to: relldon (Jun 22, 2009 2:51 pm) relldon: The 35mpg's is when i fill the car up with gas and i get my combined mileage of 35mpg's, But there are some times i got 25mpg's going faster than norm for me. Sorry to say its not constant. I don't drive the car like a sport car i drive normly, not a heavy foot or light foot. Yes i find that using shell gas i get 515 to 520 on the range you can go on a full tank.
#579 of 653 Is the BOSE stereo that much better than the standard? by jbbevel Jun 25, 2009 (2:56 pm)
Trying to decide how much better the BOSE stereo would be compared to the stock am/fm cd .   Any 2010 owner's have an opinion? Replies to this message: relldon (Jun 25, 2009 5:03 pm) maz3hatch (Jun 26, 2009 5:49 pm)

Replying to: jbbevel (Jun 25, 2009 2:56 pm) I recently bought a 2010 Mazda 3 with sunroof and BOSE stereo. If you get the BOSE stereo with the sunroof it would be worth it as it is a little better than standardl But I wouldn't buy the BOSE stereo alone as I don't think that it is that much better than the standard stereo.

Replying to: jbbevel (Jun 22, 2009 10:06 am) Im getting the Crystal White Pearl, with tinted windows. the contrast of that is really going to make it pop out.   Celestial Blue is not bad either, nice to look at, but I don't see myself as a guy driving in that color.   Gunmetal Blue looks a bit dull to me. ------------------------------------------------- My top 3 were, the black, graphite or white.   I just went driving around town, and saw a lot of lexus with white body and tinted windows, especially with the speckle paint it should really pop out.   who cares if it's 200 bucks for the white, i think it's probably the best look.
