First things first is a clear bra to be installed this Friday. Those are worth every penny spent.Heyyy, I got a '17 not too long ago too~
have you decided on doing anything to it as of yet?
Great idea on the case, never occurred to me. I would like to use bluetooth or even multiple USB's for my music (6000 songs and growing) but I just don't like how the system handles bluetooth music or USB's.I'm with you on exposed usb input on the center dash console, wish there was a usb in the hidden compartment of the center dash. Originally thought of getting a 3.5mm bluetooth adapter/transmitter that is auto on, but now I've gotten use to it.
You could always hide it in a sunglass case!
It really depends on the road surface. In Arizona, I have driven on premium groomed rubberized asphalt and it is quieter but on sections that are concrete or really bad old asphalt I think it is just as noisy.I'm thinking of buying a UK 2.0 petrol Sport Nav model with the 18" wheels. How do you find the road & engine noise at 70mph compared to the pre-facelift model? Mazda claim to have reduced noise levels so I wonder how successful they have been.
I did not get the I-ELOOP package. 1. There wasn't any available in PHX, that I knew of. 2 For the price, the small increase in gas mileage wasn't worth it. Mazda specs a 1 MPG increase across the board with I-Eloop.Did your extra package include the I-ELOOP? It wasn't available in the 2016 6M but is on the 2017.

$695 is what I am paying.Mind if I ask how much that'll cost ya?
I got the car for invoice. You can find that info on websites like trucar, edmunds, or kbb. I also received $500 cash back for loyalty and they gave me $500 for financing through them. funny enough I didn't finance through them so their goof is was my benefit.@phoenixdan How much did the car cost...i mean any discounts and stuff. just wondering if they give good discounts for the Manual transmission.
MY guess is the number of miles we put on cars or the amount of time spent on our freeways. In Phoenix, on the freeways, it's quite common to get rock chips from pebbles on the road or flinging out of tires rotating at high speed.Why are you so keen on 'clear bras' in North America. In the UK I've never seen such products offered and we just touch up stone chips at they appear.
Most clear bras are self healing or require a little bit of heat to soften the material and it corrects itself. You don't typically damage the clear bra unless a rock hits you so hard that it damages it all the way through to the paint. I had one for three years on my last 3 and it was flawless. I even had an abrasion repaired by the people who installed it. All they did was use a heat gun to massage the abrasion away.Instead of stone chips in paint, with a clear bra, wouldn't one end up with stone chips in the bra instead? And that wouldn't look great either! And it won't touch up, so to fix that, one would need to replace this enormous sticker, that then might peel the paint underneath? I dunno, I never had one.
I don't do bras,...bra!
