Hi guys,

Having finally made my decision to go with the Mazda3 (after debating between the Civic and this car), I was curious if anyone would be willing to give me the OK on the pricing I have worked out with the dealership:

'2010 Mazda3 - Touring package - no options - MSRP $19,525

My pricing:

Out The Door Price - $18,500 - includes $500 loyalty bonus, TTL, etc. etc.

Financing - Approved for 0% / 60 months

Is it good? It seems to be a pretty good price, but I'd like to hear some opinions.

A couple of concerns about the car itself:

The seats - they feel so hard and my body doesn't absorb into it at all!!! Did this change after breaking them in?

The carpet - WOW - talk about crappy! It looks and feels like felt! I really don't like the way it feels, but then again, it's an entry-level car. I can't expect too much.

The taillights - YUCK! - has anyone tinted them? They're too ricey for my taste... something will have to be done once I get the car.

The rest of the interior - AWESOME. I love the cockpit feel, the car will make an awesome daily driver with a sporty edge.

I really hope to become a fellow Mazda3 owner! I already have a heavily modified Mazda - an RX-7 with an LS1 swap, it's an awesome car, but it will officially be turned into my toy, and no longer my daily driver after this Summer. Here are a few pictures of it from the last track event I did:

Thanks guys!
