Cool Great Design

Some times I wish I would have held off and not just went out and got my 8 the year they came out. I notice little changes on things here and there. Might do a trade in . I just love the look of the 8 I cant get over it. I sat there for hour & 1/2 well my car was getting a oil change, just looking at that 8 in the show room I'll miss her. If I do trade in I'll get a GT same color.

So what is so different about your 8 now? DO you even have an 8 or another mazda?

there's been numerous tweaks to the car's assembly during the time it's been produced. Such as the robots putting less grease on the defrost button, which is why the newer units don't crack. Other adjustments include things like the rear view mirror slight redesign so that it doesn't creak and make noise for no reason.

Nothing I'd trade my car in for though...

LOL boobies. But like mysql101 said:"There's been numerous tweaks to the car's assembly during the time it's been produced."And if you want to find them you'll have to look at a early production model VS a 06+ model

^ Lies you saw a cutie in a newer model and thought she'd come with the car.
Though for me I wouldnt mind a newer model since for one my A/T would be a 6 speed auto instead of 4, and I would have a 6 port engine instead of a 4 port.

The thing I find most worthwhile a change to a new one is the "Engine breathing thingi", I don't know what they call it, suppose to prevent oil in air filter.

I think Dom is talking about the change in the interior of the car. I mean if you look they changed the premium sound system that you get with the car. The look of the air conditioning buttons are different, they are switches, they are ***** :-p And then there are the new colors to choose from. OMG what big changes, as big as those knockers over there

My coolant reservoir is black. In your face to anyone without a 2004!

There have been so FEW changes to models that it is ridiculous to even try to compare them by that (unless you are an AT owner).

Fake? You'll have to go back and re-examine the issue I'm sure.

Two of the little changes that I love for the 2006 GT are:

1. Upgraded leather - I didn't care for the 04-05 set up, but this is a personal preference.
2. Keyless entry/transponder thingy. Although I can't seem to get into another car anymore without trying to start it without putting a key in the ignition!
