I asked because I have paid $20,790 on my M3 GS Auto with Power Package. I\'m interested to know how much it will cost to get those cool extra stuff.

Its based upon the GS Sedan, therfore it has a 2.0 ltr engine, the 5speed auto is only for vehicles equiped with the 2.3.

My bad; automatic transmissions are not my forte :D

Good to know though! Thanks

[wab8611]

wow.. i think mazda should just pump out more power in these cars and send them out

Rebirth of the Protege Touring edition!:p

Hmm...I\'m confused, what market are these things aimed for ? Thought you could get everything but the \'Touring\' branded mats with options on existing models.

Kinda, except the colour and a moonroof without ABS..

I thought the same thing...

[iconicrocket]

These things come in 17\" rims too? I guessing, they\'ll be 16\".

And do they get the clear tail lights like the GT/GFX or are they normal red ones?

The Touring Edition will have the standard features of the GS with the additional accesories. So no 17\" or 16\" wheels and just the red tails.

Sorry for this being a little late..

The automatics should be at the dealerships now, the 5 spd any day now

[CAR4U]

This just in,

Both automatic and 5 spd are here!!!

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Makes me wish that colour was available when I bought mine!

Hey the Biz,

Your car is really solid 27B

I saw one of these last night parked in one of the plazas at creditview and britannia... ontario plates... I was a bit confused when I first saw it, cause I guess I somehow missed this thread... whoops... It was kinda rainy, so at first sight, I didn\'t think it was copper red, and I knew it wasn\'t orange or velocity red... I figured someone did a custom paint job on it or something... :p fortunately/unfortunately, I didn\'t have anything to write on, so I couldn\'t leave them a note... heh heh heh (either way, I would not have done it unless I saw tm3 decals or the car was super modded or there is a really good reason to do so)

Hello,

Does anyone know what options are available on the Mazda 3 Touring Edition? In particular, is it possible to get ABS on it.

[Cardinal Fang]

Welcome to the board.

http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=4389. It\'s a GS with added options.


According to Mazda.ca the Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brake Force Distribution comes with the GS with Sport package and GT models.

I just went for a test drive of the Touring Edition at Mazda of Toronto. They didn\'t have one to test drive so I drove the fully loaded GS sedan. Loved it. The automatic is pretty powerful for a 2.0L engine. Definitely more power than a Civic or Corolla.

I wonder how the manual would be. Gotta learn that first I suppose, but I would imagine the 3 would be an awesome car to drive with a manual tranny.

Also, I found out that the Touring Edition does not offer ABS, even as an option. I was quite baffled. I don\'t understand why they would not offer it on this trim. Makes me sad, cuz I absolutely love the colour. It\'s a shame they don\'t offer it on any other trim. :(

I guess I\'ll have to get the GS model instead. Guess you can\'t have your cake and eat it too.

Or you could wait for the 2007 models.. Don\'t forget to stop by my office to say hi.

I have the corner office with the biggest windows..
