I saw an article in the car section of the Post in Denver today and it had a pic of an orange Mazda 3 wagon. The wagon had the 17 inche RX-8 tires, wheels and all around disk brakes. The article said the base is from the Volvo, thanks to the enforcement of parent Ford on Mazda and Volvo. So, I guess if we need a wheel we can go to Mazda and ask for a wheel from a Madza 3 wagon 2005. This car/wagon has a different 4 cylinder than the car M3 and gets about 29 mpg all around city and country driving.

Interesting

 

Does it look as nice as the Mazda6 wagon? I don't like wagons, but that wagon was done right.

Also, we have 18inch rims not 17's? Do you mean 18's???

 

Some of "us" have 16" - right Tayninh? Also, if you want to keep the TPS, make sure the 17" wheels are compatible w/the sensors, have the right offset, etc.

 

the orange is called lava orange mica.

this pic is of the SP23 special edition.

 

It's a wagon...but cute...

 

it appears mazda prefers to call it the mazda 3 5 door.
