Count me in
Well, after lurking here for 4 or 5 months, I finally took the plunge. I'm now the proud owner of a gorgeous Titanium Gray MT Touring. After 50 miles or so, I'm pretty sure I love it.
Plug for University Mazda: Went in for a test drive, went back to the office, I said "invoice", he said "invoice+300", I thought for a minute or two, said "yes", and we were done. In and out in < 3 hours. No hassle, no window etching fees, very professional. Overall great experience, probably helped because they had what I wanted on the lot.

Dealer invoice is inflated by a "holdback" (2% of msrp for Mazda) that is (more or less) paid back to the dealer at a later time. They make money even if they sell at invoice.

Congrats on the car.
Great choice on color and trim level. :D
I hope you'll enjoy your car as much as I have mine. Correct that, I *know* you will.
I got mine at University Mazda as well. John, their Internet sales guy, is very professional. A great, no BS dealer.
Get out there and enjoy your car. I'll wave if I see you. It will be like looking in a mirror.
