• 2012 MS3 from Groove

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:14**

I'm new here to your forum, and new to Mazda and MS3's but I felt it needed to say something about my purchase last night. Picked up a 2012 MAZDASPEED3 in Black Mica for a steal. Gotta say that might have been the best car buying experience I've ever had, car was out front when I got there, the deal was incredible and I was in and out in under 2 hours

Anybody familiar with Groove (on arapahoe) Mazda? as far as their service dept goes?

Welcome aboard! I'm sure others have familiarity with Groove's service dept. It used to be great back when it was Burt, but I haven't been there in years.

I too bought mine from Groove on Arapahoe. I hate their service dept.

Congrats, bought my '10 MZ3 s Sport 6-spd there, was a great sales experience for me. I've been there for oil changes, alignments, but can't compare with other dealers.

Congrats on the new car. You will enjoy the MS3 for sure. I live in the Springs and buy my cars down here so can't comment on Groove.

Hey a fellow Highlands Rancher! Congrats on the MS3, you will live it! I used to go to Burt (now goorve) and they were ok. Haven't been since they switched. Welcome to the club!

I paid 21,600++ and they gave me 17,000 on my trade that only books for about 15,000. They beat every other dealer around town by almost $1000 bucks

Groove's Service Dept looks pretty nice but haven't had them work on my car because I do most of my own stuff. I do go there for parts from time to time.

We're on the same page here.I also had my 2012 MAZDASPEED3!:D Well,I really like how Mazda approaches their new cars in creative ways. Their priorities seem to be less weight and more efficiency with a minimal effect on performance.Moreover,Mazda recently introduced a new regenerative braking system that powers the car’s electrical functions as the vehicle brakes. The system is called i-ELOOP — or “Intelligent Energy Loop". I believe it is a unique technology that makes an internal combustion automobile behaves in a manner comparable to a hybrid.I've read the article here:http://www.cardealexpert.com/news-information/auto-news/mazda-i-eloop/
