I would like to thank the members and moderators of this forum for their support of one another and all of the useful information that they've all shared.
I am happy to say that I've just ordered my Titanium Grey GT Sport with leather, auto, air conditioning and a moonroof. Unfortunately, the estimated time of delivery is February to March. Thanks to the thread in this forum, I was able to avoid the right dealers and pick one of the better ones, Avante Mazda of Toronto. As stated in that thread the sales people were a joy to deal with. I took out a Sport for a test drive in the morning and I literally had goosebumps all over my arms while behind the wheel and a smile that I just couldn't get off of my face! After returning the demo and speaking to the saleman (Alex Mow) and Eddie the sales manager I found out that out of their allotment for the month a very small percentage (3 cars) came equipped with leather. After talking it over with my family I returned to Avante a couple of hours later where to my shock the dealership was full of people looking at the Mazda 3, where in the morning there were none! Luckily, I was able to get my name on one of their leather clad 3s, the Titianium Grey! My first choice was orange, but that was the first of the February shipment to go, the grey was mine and the last one was a silver.
Again, I would just like to thank the people who frequent this forum and make it a great source of information and support for other Mazda 3 owners! Now the hard part begins, the waiting.
At least it will give me time to think about the mods that I would like to do to the car. Already on the list are new summer rims and rubber, a nice (premium) tint from FX Auto (again, thanks for the suggestion from this forum) and hopefully a new Alpine headunit (one of the newly announced ones that integrate with my iPod).
