Is there a MazdaSpeed bodykit for it yet?

 

Hey Will

I wonder what it would look like in yellow?

Greg

 

And the question is.....why didn't Mazda forget them? What a waste of space heated seats are here in Australia....

Will, the Sales Manager told me that there is a body kit available for them. Mazdaspeed kit? Dunno.

No....not available in Yellow.

 

Well at 6 am on a saturday morning when you are watchng your son play tennis I can tell you that heated seats aren't a waste

There still aren't even Floor mats. We are driving around with Paper on the floors.

Bloody Ford still do yellow, why cant Mazda!

 

You Leather Pack guys are as soft as.....HARDEN UP, AUSTRALIA!!

 

LOL well firstly its not my car...its the Mrs' and secondly, after the new coilovers went into my car...nothin' soft about that!!! :p

 

I don't think I'd be able to resist fitting 20's to it, even if it is the bride's car.

I think I could do without most of the stuff in the leatherpack, although climate control is handy once you've gotten used to having it.

Does the clothpack have cruise?

 

Yup.

 

Well, that'd do me then. I'm sure I'm capable of twiddling a **** if it gets too hot or cold but cruise is a must on long driving holidays in my view.

I think we'll have a good look at these when the 6 hits warranty expiry in 3 years time (I'm not an early adopter of cars - I prefer to give the manufacturer some time to sort out the teething problems and maybe introduce an upgraded model, a la the 6, which made it a much better car). The mini-terrorists won't need something that big for a few years anyway.

Please keep us posted how it goes Andrew. Is there a www.CX7club.com yet?

EDIT - hit the 'link' created by my question.

 

Well, I have stood and been counted as a critic of such stuff as leather and heated seats, but I have to say I am an utter convert. Any cold evening/morning when you get in the car after it has been parked outside, the seats warm in under a minute -- much faster than the heating system -- and warms your whole torso At this rate, I might go for the Merc masseuse next

 

 

I don't think seat heaters are really necessary in our climate.

Even on a trip to the snow in a mate's Volvo 4WD barge (the big one), I found myself turning them off after only a minute or so.

Mind you, I don't feel the cold much, live in a warmer climate and was raised by depression era parents, whose invariable response to whinging about being cold was to say "put on a jumper then", or "put on another jumper dummy".

Then again, you often see old folk wearing cardigans in summer...don't you Timbo?

 

Went to see the CX-7.. Finance Director was keen on the car until she saw the CX-9 on the Mazda USA website... So I am now safe until 2009, (new car release + 1 year to get out the bugs) but I suspect that we will have to pick up a new car before then.. I have two years to point out that the CX-9 has Ford bits like the engine and gearbox, just like our ill fated MPV..

If only the series II RX-8 would come with a tow bar... Please oh Gods at Mazda grant us lowly Australian customers a nice new tow bar that does not look like a sex toy So I won't have to drive a truck to work and organise a CX nats..

 

Frankly, I don't think someone who has spent the last month looking like a Qantas steward wannabe should make any comments on anyone else's dress sense or appearance just now if you get the hint :p :p

 

Now now boys play nice...no hand bags at 50 paces please!! PLAY NICE

Incidentally....driving my mum around when I had the HOnda...I flicked on the heated seat button on her seat...cause I'm such a nice daughter...it was a 40 degree day....she nearly clubbed me to death when I burst out laughing at her concern over another menopausal hot flush!!

They are nice in the winter...but it doesn't get cold enough here in SA to really need them.....then again Canberra...don't ya get snow there??

 

There's a silver 8 in my area that has a towbar... not that weird phallic one but someting that looks like this... [_0_]

usually drivin by a blonde woman who keeps overtaking me on the left lane

 

Can you get a photo? Of the tow bar - not the blonde... I wonder where the tow bar came from???

 

I've always said to anyone who'd listen that you're a remarkably good looking man, Timbo...

 

She just wants to get another look at you Azza.

 

Love to hear the explanation for being caught by the owner taking a picture of her tow bar...

 

I might have missed it..apart from the ad being weak as water for this car....it looks a bit like an 8 on steroids in the front and a 3 in the rear???

Kinda weird styling...going off to look at the CX9 now....is it better?

 

CX-9 is just a slightly longer CX-7 with a V6 and a 3rd row of seat (I believe).

Anyone see the add for the CX-7 on TV? I saw it last night...Bloody Red again!!!

 

I remember seeing some crappy ad with a bloke with his ear to the ground or some such ****.

Forget which colour the car was. Think I switched off when a truck came into view.
