Re: Re: Differences between country versions?

There's a little button next to the electric mirror controls that makes the side mirrors fold inwards. It is quite common on Japanese cars. I think they have it because parking spots in Japan are very tight, and this feature allows you to fold both mirrors when you park as a safeguard. You don't have that in the US version?

The JDM version only have one oil cooler.

The climate control does not work that well, really. It's a bit quirky.

Mazda reccomends different grades of oil for cars out of the US, I think 5w30 while US is 5w20

No, Canada does not get the automated climate control - we have the same HVAC system as the US.

Country versions have bushwacker grille, a lightbar, a 2.5 inch body-lift, a gun rack, and a complimentary confederate flag.
