Well I just got my Mazda3 yesterday and have already been driving it all around, its a Red Hatch unfortunately Auto because I would have had to wait about 3 weeks for a manual one.. either way I just came from a 2000 civic ex 5 spd so its time for a small break from manual cars....

Well I love the car so far.. I have already put 100 miles on the car... and let me tell you.. it kicks ass....

Umm, you live in Miami and you don't have a sunroof? I thought those things would be standard equipment on cars down there like block heaters are up here.

Just kidding...on both options.

Nice pics.
Interesting to see how the seat trims are different in other parts of the world.

its no big deal if you rev the car...just dont start at full throtle...or brake hard...or cruise at one rpm (speed) for more than like a minute...(guess we all have to wait a while to see if the cruise control works

Very nice car and not bad pics!
I'm surprised you have not already turned off the damn 'Hello' messsage from the stereo however.
That will be the first thing I do, before I even leave the dealers lot. :wink:

If you find a way to do that make sure you post it here.
