Mazda3 2005
« on: October 26, 2004, 05:58:28 pm »
Did you guys notice that the prices for 2005 Mazda3 models are now available on the Mazda Website (www.mazda.ca)?

A couple new colors as well... Another grey and a nice blue (the one that was available on the 2004 Sport model)!

3 weeks ago today, I bought a black 2004 Mazda3 GT 4-door... I got a somewhat good deal... free spoiler and a 4.9% rate on a 5-year purchase plan.

IRVINE, Calif. – Since its debut in the compact segment in 2004, the MAZDA3 has established a reputation as an innovative, stylish, performance-driven vehicle among consumers and automotive press alike. For 2005, changes to the MAZDA3are limited to details – a new 15-inch wheel cover design, available Sirius® satellite radio and more color options.

From what I see, the colours are the same except the availability of Indigo Blue for the 5-dr and a darker Carbon Grey/black for the sedan. That grey will probably look very good, but is also very dark. Personally, I REALLY dislike the Indigo Blue on the sedan, and went to Mazda.ca after reading what you posted hoping that Winning Blue were available on the sedan as it is in the US.

Hopefully they ditched those plastic 15" GX wheel covers too. They really didn't do justice to the rest of the car. Any other design woulda been better.  

Screw, you have an awesome set of wheels :-)

They should make the US-available HID lamps available here for about $500 and I bet every single non-base car buyer would pop for them.  If Mercedes sells them for $1500 on their cars, I can bet they cost less than $250 to really put on.

When I looked at the RX330...the dealer was going to install them for me on a base RX for about $1000.  You can get a kit on the internet for about $700 shipped to your door.  That's provided you already have projector lens and what not.

I'd pay $800 for them instantly, up to maybe $1,200 so I wouldn't have to hassle with non-OEM parts, shipping, and point of installation.

I don't care about NAVI, but HIDs I WANT!!! It's such a missed opportunity to further distuingish this car in the marketplace that I don't understand why it's not offered.

And once again, Mazda fails to offer the option of side-curtain airbags.  Apparently, with 3's flying out of the showrooms, Mazda doesn't feel obliged to cater to the safety-conscious consumer.
