Mazda Canada
I spoke to a Mazda Canada Customer Relations Manager and was basically told that we are never getting the BOOK and that in the next few weeks I'll receive a PEN and that the XBOX was out of the question. So you see, you go buy a Fraudulent Mazda Flagship of a vehicle worth $48,000 (taxes in) and you get nothing but a friggin PEN (most likely worth $.50 - $10 depending on what it is) and yet if I bought a $17000 dollar Mazda3 in December they get a Gift worth $300. POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS
For instance when I bought my BMW 3-series, BMW gave me a Free Subscription to BMW Magazine (3 Years), I got a gift basket from the Dealership (worth over $200), free BMW hat and a keychain ($40).
Oh well what can you do. All I know is my next car is a BMW 545i, no more impulse buying for me.
Cheers

I've been busy the last couple days so haven't had a chance to call them. I trie to go to the website to look up the number, but I haven't been able access it since yesterday.
Anybody want to post up the number for me?
Gaels: Well said, and very much what I was thinking. Hell, I'm not a greedy person or anything, but my Dealership as about 8 RX-8 hats, some mugs, umbrellas, kit bags and jackets in a display case at the dealership... they've only sold 4 (maybe 5) RX-8s... they've got more hats then they do cars... gimme a damn hat!![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
But, to come back to your original point... I love the car, but their customer relations is horrible. Overall my buying/ownership experience with Mazda has been very disapointing, and it's just the little things like this (making commitments - like the book, hell even the 247hp) that they consistently fail to meet. Then offering up a better deal a little down the road and essentially saying, "Sorry..we already got your money..."
I had told my dealership that once the new RX-7 is announced I'll put down a deposit and will be trading my 8, but with each little twist of the screw Mazda gives me (customer relations and/or service etc.) it drives me further from that.
*Edit: Wow.. where did all that come from? Huh... I've been working to hard lately.. I need to get some air.

Redshift,
Go take a nice long drive. It will calm you down. The weather is great today, and there isn't too much salt on the roads yet. I'm thinking a nice little 1.5 hour drive would be just the thing. And if you happened to stop by and pick up a fellow 8 owner who's car is stored for the winter....

Maybe, I should try and convince them to throw in the Rx-8 hat I saw in they're display case?

I believe the book was only for the first deliveries ,buyers in july, august, to excuse themself for the damn delay we had ,
could be wrong..
Oh and by the way, the x-box is not Mazda Canada's decision it's the dealer's regional manager's decision. So i'm still waiting for his decision..

I'm not too annoyed about the book for myself, because I got one back in June from one of the US pre-order customers who received two. It is a great book though, definitely worth having, and if I didn't have one I'd certainly be trying to find one on e-bay.

Gordon
