there used to be a thread on avante and everyone praising them. it was at least 5 pgs long TID=591 (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=591) now it\'s gone? :( WHY??? what happened? where is it? can it be brought back? any backups?

bluntman? xenon? TM3? any ideas?

Maybe it was removed because the competition complained? :sarc

Maybe TM3 got payed off?

Oh well I guess we\'ll just have to start a new one.:D

Avante rules!!

So far, I\'m having a GREAT experience with Frank Metallo of Avante. If he comes thru with an early delivery as promised (I changed colour choices and he located one that is on a ship somewhere), I\'m going to kiss the guy (none of you buggers need apply).

Also bought parts thru Avante thru a Miata car club. 17% club discount. Great parts people too!

I likey Avante.

Picked up my car from Avante yesterday. As expected, everything went smoothly. No pressure to sell aftermarket warranties, rustproofing, etc. Bought from Frank, sales manger, and he was great to deal with. Fully recommended!!!

BTW, they have a C5 (automatic) sitting right in front of the dealership. It still has summer rubber; that should be a FUN test drive in the snow right now!

That\'s a friggin odd trade in! Did they get back a cheque from the trade in? :p

I\'m guess it\'s insurance-cost related!

apparently the guy was a die-hard miata fan who owned a few over the years...he went with the vette wanting more power but he found it too big so he went back to the miata.

I went to my 24k service today, there is a new? Chinese guy name Joe, is very helpful. I don\'t mention any wiper problem but he phoned me that the arms are losing tension and he order me for replacing under warrenty, good work for him. Only one problem, I want to change transmittion oil, when I went to PartSource, the man told me I need 2.8L of oil so I got 3 bottles, but Joe told me I need 4 bottles in case not enough for replacement. So who is right for the spec?

if you have 4AT (FN4A-EL) it\'s 7.2L
if you have 5MT (G35M-R) it\'s 2.87L

I got 3 bottles so it should more than 2.8L (9?? ml per bottle) but then I will get 1 more just to standby.
