Browning Mazda visit today

I stopped by Browning Mazda to check out the 8 today. The nordic green in the show room was awesome with the aero kit. But i wanted to congrat the owner of the Titanium gray in the back (with big smile and "SOLD" sign on it...u know what i mean), Love that color man. The one I really like was the Winning Blue in the mid parking lot..... big thumps up for u...I really like the color (go pick up your car already :D) Now i know what color to get :D
BIG Congrat guys/gals

P.S. I did not touch both of the cars okay.....

I ordered a Winning Blue and have never actually seen the car. You picked the Winning Blue over the Titanium Gray which was my second favorite color. Was it just personal preference or something else. Seeing those cars in full sun does make a difference.

Did you say Winning Blue? I hope it's not mine, since I'm expecting a call when mine come in. (what am I saying? hehe) But I'm sure it'll be here any day now

Seikx8: did u ordered from Browning? If you did u might want to give them a call. The WB was fully loaded with Nav and Black Leather. So if this one is yours.......I'm jealous .....but :D for u.
Charleston: The WB was parked in the shaded area of the parking lot. I think thats why it was so Purrty, with the reflection from the surrounding...it really show the lines of the car. Don't worry! you picked the right color.
I'll test drive one this weekend to make my decision. At least I got the color picked out :D

Yes, I ordered the GT 6M w/ Nav from Browning. I've checked their inventory and my VIN is the smallest compared to other Winning Blue, so I'm crossing finger it's mine =) I will definitely give them a call today and I have the blank check ready. Thanks nippontoy,

Not a problem, if it is yours. I think she is ready to be pick-up. The sale guy told me that the car was prep'ed on that morning (7-16). And it was park in the mid parking lot...where owner normally pick'em up. Good luck

Thumbs up

Yep it's mine alright. Went down there and pick it up with my two co-workers. It took a bit of wait and having baja fresh for lunch, but in the end everything came out great. I got a great deal with the finance department for 3.09% loan compared to my original pre-approved 4.09% rate, great service.

I must admit, the clutch is very very soft and driving in traffic (605, 10, 60 and 405 rush hours) is much bearable compared to my Integra GSR. The foot rest is perfectly fited and the 6 ways electronic auto adjustable seat was perfect to fine tune the confortable position while driving. The premiun bose audio system is way much better than the normal basic average sub & speaker setup. It took us 30 minutes to figure how operate the navigation. The steering is quite sensitive, perhaps a bit over steer; the slightest movement will make the car turn corner which lead to a very impressive cornering maneuver. The only thing that need to get use to is the side view mirror but rear visibility is very good. Regarding the engine noise, it's quite sweet similar to a turbo whinning, it's really hard to tell the sound between low & high rpm.

Overall I'm very impressed with the peformance. But after I get use to the speed, it seemed like it lack some low end torque; then again, this is not a muscle car In any case, I already put like 100 miles on it already! So, the car wil be broken in no time, althought there is no recomendation regarding break in period.
