This is an amazing car and a pleasure to drive.  It has amazing power!  Just getting a little impractical with 3 kids.  Time to get rid of the toy.

Vehicle condition:  Good.  Interior is in great shape with minimal to no wear.  Has been fully detailed top to bottom and is in great shape.  Exterior is in good condition as well.  There are some scuffs and light scratches but nothing to visible/noticeable.  When standing close you can see some  but from a short distance away would be invisible.  Most likely could be buffed out.

Distinguishing features:  Manual transmission, after market racing exhaust that sounds great, after market air filter.  Brand new winter tires (one season only) and the summer tires are going on this week.  Never smoked in the vehicle.  A/C, am/fm stereo, 6-disc cd changer, BOSE Speaker system, iPod hookup.

History of ownership:  Bought from the dealership that was a trade from the original owner.

Alert:  There are no known defects/problems with the vehicle except the following:
- The coolant light illuminates.  It has done this since I bought it in 2008.  I have had it checked by the dealership and they said that it was a known issue with the vehicle.  There is some kind of sensor on the coolant tank that would need to be replaced which is inexpensive.  However, removing this sensor almost always results in the connector snapping which would result in a whole new tank being installed.  I opted out of fixing it for that reason.  It has never overheated on me.

Note:  Mileage that is listed above is MILES.  There are 133,000km on this vehicle.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
