Purchased my first mazda!

[Shonoda]

Hello all,

So I'm another Calgary guy here and I have been lurking the forum the last months and I have just received my 2015 Mazda3 sport GT with manual transmission in meteor grey.

I picked it up on Wednesday and so far I have done opticoat and 3m. Up next will be krown, some tint, and maybe plastidipping the emblems and chrome trim on the grill.

So far I'm loving the car and don't have many complaints. The only one I have so far is that since I got the manual transmission I wasn't able to get the "tech" package that has the blind spot warning and lane departures BS (nor did I want any of that garbage) but it also didnt come with xm. Is there any way to get xm on the manual transmission GT?

Thanks for any advice in advance!

Will hopefully have some pictures up in the near future

Welcome! For getting XM you can follow http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?77584-XM-Radio-in-2014-Mazda-3-Sport-GT-(No-Tech) though it sounds like no one's found a way yet.

Welcome! I personally like my 20% tints.
. Dark enough for privacy but still fine for night driving bit it depends on your eyesight.

Mine is grey too and I think the tint % works really well with the colour.

congrats!

Just got 30% tint on my 2014 GS last saturday. it's definitely taking a while for me to get adjusted to it.
for me, 30% at night is plenty dark. but my eyesight is pretty bad

Welcome and congrats on the 15, I've got 16% tint all round and love it.

:welcome smiley always good to get more Gen 3 members. I went 30% and love it, keeps people from looking in at you and at night the headlight glare from cars behind/at the side is practically zero.
