Anybody know of any info regarding options available for the different models of the Mazda 3?

Each car comes standard with some options... but wondering what kind of stuff can be added on as extra?

Woah... where the heck did you find all this? Doesn't look like we get a very long option list :cry:

And what is an illuminated ignition key? Does the actual key light up? That would be neat. And are you thinking those US prices are most likely going to be the final ones?
Ithink it will be packaged like Honda - a few trims with little options: A/C, AT, spoiler, (HID, NAV in the US).

Illuminated ignition key - the ignition switch is illuminated - like a ring around it.
Damn. That was alot of typing there. Go give you fingers a 5 min break.
Does anybody know if Canada will see even an option for the HID's? Also interested in power seat(s), heated seats?
How much do you think it costs to install HIDs? and would they void a warranty? Anyone know if they're legal in canada? I've heard rumors that they arent.
No clue. I don't care for them mainly b/c of cost ($500+) and as for NAV I have a Toronto and Ontario map in my car - I won't get lost :)
Anyway the NAV System is for US-Only maps... :/

Auto lights and wipers

Translated from Japanese:

http://www.axela.mazda.co.jp/4door/safety03.html

Besides the fact that the automatic light system judges the brightness around comprehensively with two sensors which perceive the luminous intensity of the front and the upper part, automatically lights up & goes out with precise timing in such as the entrance exit of the tunnel, needless operation is decreased.

As for the sensor wiper, wiper speed is adjusted automatically from stopped state to high speed according to rainfall.

PS: And some newer pics - not sure if these were posted: http://www.axela.mazda.co.jp/4door/gallery.html

I saw that the Canadian top end sedan's got the power package standard. Anyone know if the US spec 3s will also keep the power package standard? Specifically want to know about a/c (I know auto a/c isn't available), cruise control, power windows/locks, seats? Finally, anyone know about the red/blue light gauges or do we get the simple red only ones?

power package comes standard on the s models, and optional on the base i model. as for the gauges..red/blue for s, simple red for i.
In Canada I've mostly seen GT's without GFX package
coming with body colour grille- but I've seen a few without also?
What's the deal? They say mine will have it- but it's not a GFX.
It's a sedan by the way. I'm pissed about winning blue not
available on sedan also! And the yellow they have in the U.S.!!!
