Hello, I'm from Canada and just bought a brand new 2018 Mazda 3 50th Anniversary edition (CAN) in Snowflake White Pearl. :grin2:

Although this is not my first Mazda it has been a very one time since I last owned one. About 30 years ago and it was a B series that tried to kill me twice. (Although I did help it along quite a bit)

I currently still have a Ford Focus, a Subaru, and a Volvo. I drive a lot of k's and need a car with good gas mileage, is comfortable and not to boring to drive. I heard a lot about the Skyactiv tech and was sold on the driving dynamics and leather seats.

5.7L / 100km on my first drive. ( 41 MPG)

Welcome to the forum!

Can you please elaborate on the "50th Anniversary Edition? What perks and quirks does it include from the regular model?

Yes, please tell us. Seems we've been deprived here in the States and elsewhere.

Welcome aboard.

MazdaCanada only thing. Mazda was first formally introduced to the North American market in 1968 in Canada. The US won't see the 50th anniversary of Mazda North American Operations for two years.

Welcome a20tx6.

From the Mazda Canada website the 50th model seems to be what we call the 2.0 Touring model here in Australia, but with the Bose Audio (nice!!) and maybe some other features from the 2.5 GT. The model names used in Australia and the US are partly similar, but have different specs. Confusing...

Welcome to the forum! I also picked the Mazda 3 because of its good gas mileage! You should get better gas mileage as you drive your car a couple thousand miles. 41mpg on first drive is already good. Have a good day!
