Hey everyone! New to the forum, been lurking around for a while though. Been looking at purchasing a Mazda 3 Sport since...forever...June 2009... Finally took the leap, went to Open Road Mazda this past Saturday...spent 3+ hours with sales person to negotiate price for the GS model Picked up the car yesterday and I couldn't bee more happy! Absolutely love the car, especially the bluetooth connectivity; phenomenal! Anyways, here's a couple quick shots i took when i arrived at home...all comments welcome!      PS: First thing i'm going to do is tint!! 20%... |

nice, just bought mine in the beginning of the month I have the same colour but I have the Sedan. It was between Graphite, Aluminum and Crystal White. I'm glad I chose graphite mica, this weekend I was really able to see how nice the colour is, under the sun it looks phenomenal. I'm considering black chroming my emblems, but leaving as is is nice too.

Thanks everyone!
mazdaspeed604: i was between the same colours as you! But when i saw the graphite in person at the dealership, i just had to have that colour! luckily they had the car in stock so i didn't have to wait! I think leaving the emblems chrome would look best!
I need some chrome "zoom zoom" plate frames! haha

The color is great on both the sedan and hatch and certainly makes the grill look less obtrusive. I'm with niteron and perfecto on the hatch thing. They are great. Welcome  Saw one (2010) hatch in Jasper on the 20th in that color, from B.C. but no BCMazda3.com decals, and it looked great in the sun. |

chopstickz: nah, didn't get the moonroof package....didn't necessarily need it
Thanks everyone for the comments!
Tint is coming soon...there's one thing i don't like about the hatch...i absolutely hate red turn signals in the rear! The sedan has amber....so why can't the hatch?! beats me...w/e, guess I have to live with it.
I would also like to have LED 3rd brake light, looks much better IMO

My GS comfort package came with the moonroof and traction & stability control. They don't have that package anymore?

That is the package i believe....in order to get the moonroof, i'd have to get the comfort package (traction & stability control)...honestly, i didn't really care for traction & stability, so I opted for no moonroof
not a big deal
