I have been officially Three'd!

Picked up my 2007 Mazda3 Touring Edition today. Big thanks to Biz!

Love this car. For the past 3 months every time I saw a 3 I thought to myself "Dang, nice lookin' car!". Now it's MY turn! No more ho-hum Chevy Malibu for me. :chuckle

The 3 was hard to resist. Every time I saw someone getting out of one they were smiling. I figured it was either a good car, or drugs.

LOL I picked it up a few hours ago. It's still stock. I could redirect you to the Mazda site if you want to see what it looks like. :chuckle

Nice to see you on here.

What colour did you end up with?

Nice to see you on here.

Touring Edition only comes in Galaxy Grey, which is the colour I wanted anyway

[wingnut12]

Cool.

How many names can Mazda come up with for silver/grey, anyway? :whoa

[Caz]

I worked in a paint deparment and there are over a million names for grey!

I almost forgot congrats on the purchase!

[FLIPDADY]

Note the fugly Chevy Malibu in the background. The car that made me forget how fun driving can be. I now know these two cars as Cinderella and the Ugly Step-Sister:

what is different for a Touring Edition compared to the normal sedan GS or GT?....well i noticed you have the round foglights instead of rectangular ones like me haha

It's basically a GS with Sport package (16", moonroof), foglamps, LED tails, iPod adapter, scuff plates, matching grille colour, and special badging.

[Tizmee24]

congrats.
were the same colour..
i like the tailight....lol

[Tokic_o]

aww the "touring edition" badge is in the spot where the Axela badge should go =P

[EvilDeadFan]

touring must mean 4x4, hehe. ;) ;)

Nice car. I love the colour!

[Cardinal Fang]

Congrats on your purchase! The only thing I'm not to keen on when it comes to the touring car (both this and last year's model) is the rear emblem. I really think Mazda could have done a better job on it. As the car ages and the plated chrome finish gets tarnished it will look like like a "tin foil" finish. I was hoping they would make the "EDITION" lettering stand out with an accent colour.

Hey! That could be your first mod.

[MattC]

yeah I have seen that back emblem before in my old apartment garage, and was kinda turned off the whole thing.

nice colour tho! Im sure you could rip that emblem off anyway :chuckle

[dr1ft3r]

I thought 07s only had rectangular fogs?!...ohh crap....congrats, nice car, and welcome

[EvilDeadFan]

The gt's do, this one is like a fully optioned out gs, like previously mentioned. You can see how the fogs fill the normally filled in area with a light instead.

Beautiful car though!

Haha I would hope it was the car, but it was most likely drugs....hahahahaha....

Congrats.. I as well joined the club this week. Got a 07 Mazda 3 GT in Black. Nothing like the smell of a new car. On my first drive off the lot home, I think I inhaled through my nose the whole time taking in that "new car smell"...

[iconicrocket]

Congrats,

Isn't the new car smell toxic?

[cisco23]

I try not to exhale at all... Its another reason I always keep the air recycles and only use A/C.. Dont want the smell to escape...
