Well I bought my Mazda 3 Wed night, the financing was approved this morning. I pick it up Saturday morning and I couldn't be happier.

I got the GS Model Sedan with a few more options than I started out wanting I paid 25k all in which was about 1800 under the MSRP, I am content with that.

Incase I am confusing you by saying GS....This is what the Canadian GS has

In my opinion, that's alot of car for $25k Canadian. I am quite happy

Standard Tiptronic shifter !! Holy crap, I had a blast using this thing on the test drive.

Bang for the buck wize, the civic doesn't even belong in this same category as this car.....
