I'd say it depends on your relationship with the dealer. I never got hassled about the AP or any of the other parts on my car. If I blew my motor up, that would probably have been a different story....

Free bag it with a little dusting of baby powder dude. Works like a charm!

Edit: I cut trees, which requires me to wear chainsaw pants in this hot weather. It's like wearing snow pants in the...

Thanks a lot for the input everyone! I saw the car proof report, and everything was good on it. One owner, he has all the maintenance records, he had the full extended warranty as well (meaning...

Can't be any worse than the speed3 I had. I drive about 5000kms a year, so gas mileage isn't that big of a deal for me.

I'm looking at buying an '04 Maxima with 93,000kms on it. It's a fully loaded 6-spd SE model. Body is mint and it drives very nice. I really like it, but am not familiar with any of the common...

If I were to spend $38k on a car, it sure as hell wouldn't be a Mazda 3 lol. Your mom got ripped off and talked into everything! She should be trying to get out of that deal for sure!

On another...

I drive the protege to work, my wife drives the skyactiv. She didn't want to drive a manual. Protege and speed are both manual.

99 protege - 300,000kms, original clutch .... still driving daily today!
06 Mazda 3 GT.... traded in for
07 speed 3.... sold to get
12 Mazda 3 skyactiv

80K straight out of university, but you won't say what your job is? hmmm....

BF3....

The lurching is your car downshifting. It's the way a car should drive, just like a manual. I personally like it. I hate when a car doesn't slow down via engine braking (most automatics). More...

Get him to "gift" the car to you and you won't have to pay tax on it.

At least he checks his oil. I'm sure many of us don't check it as often as we should.

For $1000 take it! You should get 300,000kms + no problem with regular maintenance. I personally wouldn't spend the money on rims and springs. Drive it for what it is.

It's 30 seconds.... adjust your mirrors, get your ipod playing, oh look you can drive now.

Edit: Also keep in mind it only does this on a cold motor. I believe it does this to heat up a certain...

+1 ... I know for a fact that the skyactiv is faster than my mom's 2011 2.0 mzr 5-speed lol

(I tried to tell her to wait for the new ones, but she didn't believe me. Now she's wishing she did)

If you really care about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times you shouldn't buy either of these. They are not fast cars, but they are excellent everyday cars that are fun to drive. I switched from a MS3 to a...

I have a skyactiv.... Did 450kms of highway driving this weekend and still have half a tank left. Enough said. Get the newer technology.

Yeah, I'm kinda pissed about that too. Bought a few days before December......

LOL! :bang

Just out of curiosity, how much has your hydro bill increased on a monthly basis? We were thinking about getting a Volt, but I just wasn't sold on them yet. Maybe in a few years.

Ditch the lead foot and relax your driving style. Don't accelerate hard or jam on your brakes at the last second. Coast as much as you can. Don't run your defroster unless it's needed. Don't carry a...

Nice! I just picked one up in the same colour. Loving it so far!

I'm in Peterborough too. Have you tried McCloskey's for welding?

EDIT: I think it's called McCloskey Intl. now.... they are out on hwy 7 east
