Looking at the new 3 for my next car. Here in Seattle, there are no Premiums available with Greige interiors, but there are a few Preferred models with Greige. Do Preferred owners find the leatherette as comfortable as leather? Thanks

Interested in the 3, coming from an older civic. I don't need a sunroof living in Seattle. I liked the idea of cylinder deactivation-- but the rocker arm issues makes me want to choose the Preferred engine-- which is the equivalent of the prior 3. Are Preferred users OK with the...

Right now I'm shopping around for a Mazda 3 and I'm really struggling to figure out what I really want in my (possible) new car. I'm torn between the sedan and hatchback (leaning more towards the latter though :wink2: ), but the biggest thing is trim level. I really would like a Premium, but a...

Sorry if this is not the right place for this. I was looking on Edmunds and saw this: Mazda3 Prices Paid and Buying Experience - CarSpace Automotive Forums "Purchased a 2010 GT HB Auto w/Tech & Moonroof package, auto dim/Homelink mirror, locking lugs, cargo net and rear bumper guard a couple...

OK, I'm curious. For new 2010 owners, did or have you changed any of the personalization options listed on the guide that came with your car? I'm leaning towards changing the "Degree of darkness needed for the headlights to turn on" to a less sensitive setting, the optional 1-2,000 lux setting...
