Mazda 3 GT sedan.
Titanium Grey Metallic
5 speed
GFX Package
Leather
Just purchased it on Wednesday night and it will be coming in within 2 to 3 weeks.
It is now at port in Vancouver and will be coming here by train.
I can't wait until it gets here.
I will be selling off all of my mods within the next couple of weeks, just look in the For Sale Forum.
I will miss the Focus for some things, but I need a change in the car. Well, I really need a four door sedan and the Mazda 3 fitted the bill.

Yeah Paolo,
I sold it. Like I said before I will definately miss the power from the supercharger, but time to move on now.
Thanks

Wow Vito,
it's too bad because you just installed the supercharger. In my opinion you made the right choice because the Mazda 3 GT is incredible! Hope everything goes smoothly!

Nice choice but the seats in a GS/GX? model I looked at looked like crap. Hope the GT has seats like the Maz3 sport. Great car and half the price of a new Volvo S40 which is based on the same platform.

Can some one quickly summarize the "numbers"? (hp/ft-lbs/weight)
I imagine it does everything better than the Focus? (0-60, 1/4 mile etc.)

Andrew,
The Mazda 3 GT ratings are:
2.3 liter - 160 hp @ 6500 RPM, 150 lb. ft @ 4500 RPM
Curb weight with manual transmission is 1 253 kg converts to approximately
2756 lbs.
0-60 is in low 7.0 second range
1/4 is high 15's to 16.00 second range with the manual.
SVT ZX3 - the seats in the sedan GT is the same as the seats in the Mazda 3 Sport GT (wagon). I also noticed the difference between the GT seats and the base GX/GS seats,

Hey Paolo,
I know that the bottom end of these two engines are the same, but Mazda has redesigned the whole top end of this engine.
