That is like saying get last years Computer!

Why would you miss out on all the new options. it is not like a car where it is the identical models.

You get better GUI (Graphic User Interface)
Better and most up to date Maps
Faster processor
Pandora
Faster and better i-pod usb control

Unless he needs all the latest and greatest why spend a ton more when you can get last years model for cheaper that is what I see.

Instead of spending 1500 or 1100 for the newest get last years for 500 or 600 bucks and use the money you save towards a nice set of speakers.

hmm true...that's another way of looking at it since I don't really want to spend $1100 on a unit that is for my mazda3 that will eventually go to my wife and i'll have to teach her how to use it.

Plus, I don't have a Z. If I did, i'd buy one for it. But i'd definitely opt for the older model for the mazda3!

Right I mean I am using a alpine 9887 which was discontinued last year...or the beginning of this year. However I love the quality of it and why would I need to upgrade to the newer version? No reason that I see. Sort of the same thing here only not bought one yet.

Nothing we do on this forum is about a "need"... it is all a "want"...

So why not tell everybody not to buy a 370z and they should buy a 350Z, they would save money and it is a great performer. Ahhh but 370Z is so much better.

Your opinions are constricting people from experiencing the best world can offer them. Again why buy anything for your car at all if it is not a "want"...

If you choose to use an older unit that is great for you, but what you do or did does not make it the guide on how to do things.

Let people choose and stop forsing your opinions on people. Your ay is not the only way, in some cases it may be but in many cases it is not.



Back to topic...

If you would like the latest and greatest for your Mazda3 let me know or even if you do not buy it from me, I suggest atleast check out the new line... You will see that DNX6980 looks so much nicer then the previous model as can be expected. For the difference in price you will regret not getting the new one. Specialy with the deal I have with free camera and Sirius satellite radio. If you prefer I can take off $ from the price instead.

Calm down man there are some upgrades that are worth it more than others. Like 350z to 370z no comparison. Old model of kenwood to the new one maybe a better looking interface and some upgrades however old one is still a strong contendor. Sorry if that makes it look like I am trying to block you from getting a sale. I just see where money can be saved and offer my opinion on the subject.

I see that someone agrees with me that BIG matt likes to cram his poorly informed opinions down your gullet. He reminds me of those really annoying people that show up at my door in suits, usually on sundays. Without saying their name everyone should know the people I refer to.
