    NC owners check in!

    Just curious how many of us there are on here. I know with it being the more expensive of the 3 options it's going to be a smaller group than the others. I currently have a 2006, but would love at some point to have an NA.

    NC owner checking in.

    I have the 2.0 litre sport which I think in the uk is the equivalent of your GT model. 2006 in sunlight silver. Bought in October 2011 and came from from a charged NA. I'd have gone for the nc2 if I had the money as I quite like the front end look but I got a great deal on my nc1.
    Previous car: NA 1990 classic red jrsc m45 with 150mm crank, intercooler, DIY pnp ms2, 340 cc injectors and lts of other mods including chassis bracing, roll bar, bc coilovers, RB exhaust.

    New car: 2.0 sport NC, sunlight silver, lowered, geo alignment,m
    Cosworth panel filter, r8 wiper mod, debadged rear with more to come.

    perhaps. GT here is 17" wheels, leather seats, Bose sound system, and canvas (vs vinyl) roof, among other things. Most GTs I've seen have the "premium" package, which steps it up to keyless ignition, high intensity discharge headlamps, and a limited slip rear differential.

    +1 NC owner, 06 GT with tech/premium. I drive it once every couple months, it's usually just sitting deep underground in the garage.

    Pretty much the same packages here. I think the original owner of mine just checked every box on the option list. wood package, door sills, wood shifter/e-brake,premium package2, suspension package, appearance package... May have forgotten something, lol

    had to go back and edit my post, I was wrong about the tech package.. was thinking of another Mazda model with that. Just looked at the brochure (warning: PDF link) again, mine is premium package 1, as it came without the suspension package (all those bits have been replaced now anyway). Only difference is prem 1 comes with the limited slip, prem 2 is without it because it's for automatics or manual cars with the suspension package.
