I heard Northland Mazda ( the one on center street) is the best.... I go to Kramer though because it is 3 mins drive from my house. Their service is not that good and will try to rid you off as much as a dealer can

North Hill has great service. Of the 3+ years I've been going there, the techs have all been the same (ie low turnover). Parking lot is a bit cramped but since they renovated, it's been better. Plus it's very central.

Just came back from service at North Hill. It was an oil change and re-installing a mud guard that got ripped out. They reattached the mude guard for no extra cost.

agree, northhill mazda is the only place where i wanna go if i have to deal with a dealer. Also, the new manager there is my buddy, sort of the other reason i go there. i just did my recall from there, it was obviously free. then i do my oil change there. Overall, they have very good attitude, good service, nice coffee room with internet. so you can go on this forum if u dropped your ride there.

^^^ Whoa, they got internet now in the coffee room? Dang! I was there when they first installed the plasma TV (but no internet then). Who's your friend?

welcome to the forum!! i agree with bluefrenzy, auto has less power then MT does according to the info they give u. i dont know anything about the special edition though. but if u are thinking to drive an 8 in winter, u better get a set of snow tires cuz no matter which type of transmission u get, RWD is still really bad in snow........think about it, u pay the same thing to get a less power car and u wont take any advantage of the less power car to the snow.......

its not just bad, it is impossible.. snow tires really are mandatory. Last time i tried to drive it w/ OEM I ended up pushing it (yes pushing..) into a gas station and left it there for 2 days waiting for the snow to melt

The "no start" one gets you a bigger faster starter, the tank one is just an added heatproof pad, and the drivability one gets you new upgraded sparkplugs....good deal!
