And for added comfort, the Mazda 3 is made in Japan, so you can be reassured that it is made with quality!
as for the options, heated seats, in dash 6 CD changer, is it worth the price?
i read that the 06 tail lamps will be LED on the Sport, so it would be nice.
still deciding as to which one i will get, sport or sedan.
19195 sale price
510 PDI
685 Freight
100 Air Tax
75 Fuel Tax
295 Admin Fee
Total price including all fees = $20 860 + taxes (15% in Ontario)
The sale price is supposed to be $1500 below the MSP because I am paying cash and am a repeat Mazda buyer.
Please advise me with your experiences...is this a fair deal? What is a fair deal? Should I buy a 2006 instead? What would be a fair price for a 2006?
Also...Can anyone recommend good dealerships in the Cornwall/Ottawa area?
Thank you!!
But then again, it depends on what your budget is.
If you compare a GS and GT side by side, no doubt the GT looks a lot hell better and also faster too!
Did I get screwed? I'm pretty happy with this deal!
Apparently they're only for the 5-door.
Nope. They're standard in the top-of-the-line "Grand Touring" package for the 4-door S and 5-door, which basically is the 2006 version of the SP23.

is there a noticeable diff between the LED and the ones on the GT?
For next year, we'll have the same models and options.

i'm new here and live in alberta. looking at an 06 sport GT with everything. the 06 is only $300 mroe than the 05 and the 06 comes with heated seats/6 cd changer and the computer. big value as far as i'm concerned. plus the added interest rate I guess. anyhow, anybody got a 06 yet? wondering if anybody knows of any reoccuring problems in the 05 that should be fixed (or isn't) in the 06? what should i look out for?
quote i got was $26 before tax. only gst here in alberta thank god lol. what price is everyone else getting for thier 06 sport GT?
oh and on the mazda website, they have a "upgraded dash" accessory, any body know what taht is?

In Winning blue with the rear spoiler it is just to cool. The lights inside freak me out. The lights in the dash change from blue to red.
But as post above indicated the Sedan does not have LED lights. The Sport model does. But the front and rear light do look sharp.
The M3 looks good next to my 2005 Toyota Highlander.
If you in the Edmonton region check out Sundance. Excellent service.
Anyone know what they really pay for the car? I hear there are web sites you can go to and pay a fee to find out what the dealer pays for the car. I dont want to be pressured to pay the full price. The new Mazda 2006 GS sedan with power package is 20, 895 before taxes and freight. I hate dealing with these salesmen they pressure you to pay full price and they sure dont make your buying experience an good one at all. It feels like a long wearing down process. I will not budge till I get some satisfaction!
Anyone have any advice ? Sure appreciate it alot!
Note for the 2005/6 GT sedan both have 1500+ difference between MSRP and Invoice.
I paid 600+ over invoice show on Carcostcanada and included the rearspoiler not included in the invoice price.
Good Luck.
How about the Mazda 3 GS does the tachometer or dash lights light up as well ?
If so what colour?
I test drove it and both the GT as well and it was red with blue outline and apparently works with some type of tri mode illumination but not sure with the other colour is?
Maybe its another colour for night illumination but I am not completely sure.
Its too bad that feature is not on the GS but I will live with it as the cars quality and dependability is what I mainly am interested .
But the dash lights are really cool on the GT I must admit
In the Roots store in Mont-Tremblant they had a Mazda promotional card with a photo of the Mazda5. Unfortunately (for my comprehension at least), all of the text was in French. It seemed to be a $500 incentive with a Mazda purchase. Anybody know anything about it?
It is amazing how many Mazdas are on the road in Quebec - a much higher percentage than in the US.
The msrp is 24,935
freight&pdi 1,195
air con fee 100
paint 105 .
sub total 26,335
14%tax 3,686.90
total 30021.90
The Best deal i got is 28,000 on the road
Is this a good deal?
And how much is a wing spoiler?
Should i deal or buy aftermarket?
Msrp = 24,935 ; Pretax = 26,335 ; After tax = 30021.90 ; After deal =28,000
A C$2022 discount sounds good to me. The MSRP seems high but I don't have the 2006 numbers. What does the Luxury package include?
The luxury package includes leather seats, heated driver and front passenger seats, 6 disc in-dash cd changer.
I have called everywhere in the lower mainland and no one was willing to
beat 28,000 otr. The closest was 28,600 otr.
I'm hoping this is a decent deal for Vancouver, BC.
Sounds like you have a good deal for what you've optioned.
If you try - and I stress try - to drive this car sedately, you get the feeling that it's getting impatient. It always seems to want to go faster, brake harder or turn sharper. And if you're not careful, you'll find yourself indulging the car's every wish - you'll keep your right foot in it much longer than you should, you'll wait to brake until the last minute and you'll take the long way home just to spend more time behind the wheel. It's not hard to tell this car was designed and built by the same company that created the Miata. Seriously, if you can find a better sub-$20,000 car with four doors and seats for five that's this fun to drive, buy it.
