Product Information Bulletin
November 18, 2004
The 2005 MAZDA3 is a compact car with the spirit of a luxurious sports sedan, and there is no doubt
that consumers, like the automotive press, recognize it as a class-leader that can hold its own against
any Japanese or European import – including many premium brands.
Mazda is now proud to introduce the 2005 MAZDA3 SP23 Special Edition. The SP23 is based on 4-
Door and 5-Door “s” models equipped with the 2.3L engine, 17” alloy wheels, side sills, and leather
trimmed seats. The SP23 adds high-value features that are not commonly found in a compact car –
features that exceed customer expectations in the segment. These features include:
Exterior
• 17" alloy wheels with high gloss finish
• Automatic on/off headlights
• Automatic rain-sensing (adjustable sensitivity) with 2-speed and fixed-intermittent front
windshield wipers and washer
• Special Edition "SP23" badges on each front door
• LED rear combination taillights (5-Door only)
• Exclusive exterior color: Carbon Gray Mica
Interior
• Leather trimmed seats and door panel inserts (Saddle Brown or Black)
• Heated front seats (driver and passenger)
• Pollen filter for air conditioning
• Bose premium audio system with 7 speakers including subwoofer
• In-dash 6-disc CD changer
• Instrument panel trim insert - black (gloss-type finish)
• Steering wheel trim inserts - black (gloss-type finish)
• Standard floor mats, carpeted
Overall, the additional SP23 equipment contains great value and is priced only $990 over the base “s”
model with Sport Package (4-Door) and leather trimmed seats.
SP23 options include a 4-speed Sport AT automatic transmission, power sliding-glass moonroof,
navigation system, and the SP23 Security Package which contains:
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
• Dual Front Seat Mounted Side-Impact Air Bags (front coverage)
• Side Air Curtains (front & rear coverage)
• Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlights (Low-Beam, Manual-Leveling)
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
• Theft-Deterrent Security System
The SP23 is a limited production vehicle and will be offered in only one Special Edition exterior color:
Carbon Gray Mica. The leather trimmed interior will be available in two colors: Saddle Brown leather
(November 2004 thru May 2005 production); and Black leather (February 2005 thru May 2005
production).

wow is that expensive...I'm sure it will be really nice though
really I don't think this will sell well at all....makes more sense to put it in the Mazda 6 but the MS6 is the special edition I guess
now the 8 will probably get some of these features in the 2006 run... like auto headlights and such
It makes much more sense to buy an S model and add in what you want...you could walk away with a much better sound system and nicer interior
