I've been proud that we did MSRP and no more even during the worst of the inventory shortage days. This car, with the color and manual, was listed at MSRP but the Mazda Employee Plan took a bit over $2000 off along with a $500 Mazda Loyalty Rebate.

I'm with you on that. I'll be doing paint protection film cut to a template for the piano black plastic on the interior. Thankfully, our CX-90 has zero piano black plastic.
Correct. I think that would be a really oddball combo.
Is it made in Japan or Mexico?
Japan. All hatches are made in Japan and most sedans and all CX-30s are made in Mexico.
Considering that I’m the salesperson and we have dogs instead of kids I guess I’ll say, “thank you”
It depends on what you're coming from or what you are comparing it to. The visibility is one of the few glaring faults of the car; there is no way to sugar coat it. However, with standard Blind Spot Monitoring on all trims for '24 it is at least mitigated with safety tech. I had a customer that traded in a 10 year old Subaru Forester recently and that thing was like a fish bowl with excellent visibility.
While I do like the quirky styling of the hatch I think the 3 sedan is much more handsome and the best looking car in it's class. I owned a '22 3 Sedan Premium in Deep Crystal Blue about a year ago for a very short stint and being "not made in Japan" I personally felt a pretty appreciable difference in quality and fit/finish. All hatches are made in Japan and as tight as a drum in my experience.
How much did it cost?
Did you pay over MSRP?

I work for the dealership so I get the Mazda "E-Plan".
MSRP: $31,515
E-Plan: $29,562
Our dealership has never charged over MSRP, even during the worst days of the inventory shortage. This car, however, was listed for MSRP due to the rarity of the manual and color.

Congrats! Nice color!
I loved my 2007 Mazdaspeed 3. I added the Mazdaspeed intake, a Hypertech tune, Koni FSDs, a JBR rear anti-roll bar set to 50% stiffer than stock, and Michelin PSS tires on Gen 2 wheels. I bought it new and drove it from July 2007 to January 2016 putting 158k miles on it in the process. I actually held on to it longer than I planned to in hopes Mazda would build another Mazdaspeed 3. They didn't so I moved on.
No touch screen with CarPlay or did they implement? Like the car and miss manual but don’t mind modern automatics.
The Turbo trim has a larger (10.25" vs 8.8") screen that is touch capable in CarPlay (only). I've been driving Mazdas for a bit now so I'm totally acclimated to the rotary dial on the center console for anything.
