ford

Hi all! Just bought my first Mazda after having a Ford for 8 years. Driving a 2015 M3 I Touring hatchback And was looking to see if there’s anything I should know about my car that I might not have learned in the test drive. I’ve already locked my keys in the trunk, so there’s that ?

I'm planning on swapping a ford branded 2.5 into my 2004 2.3 hatch. That's well documented now, so I'm not too worried about it. However, all the swaps I've seen documented used an engine from a 10-12 fusion. The are some really good deals right now on very low mileage engines from the 13-16...

My customers know Ford owns the Mazda company. And my customers know the small Mazda pickup is just a re-badged Ranger truck. But what about the other Mazdas? Are they assembled in Ford factories or Mazda factories when they are assembled in the USA MaxiSYS MS906BT? What about if they are...

Anyone 2014 M3 switched to Ford XT-M5-QS Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid ? After 20,000 miles, mile 6 speed manual still has little bit of grind going to 2nd gear and going to 5th gear even after adjusting as shown on TSB. It seems that the Ford XT-M5-QS Full Synthetic Manual...

2014 Mazda i Grand Touring vrs 2014 Ford Focus SE Good review in the latest issue. The Mazda edged out the Focus in many ways. Here's a online video if you can't find the magazine

I love the new Mazda 3. I’ve test driven the 2.0 and have been actively reading the reviews and forums ever since. In narrowing everything down, I’m looking at the 2.5 (likely GT to stay away from leatherette). The two issues that kept coming up are the lack of a manual (who knows when it’s...

This is a great comparison of the 2012 and current generation Mazda 3 s Sport. It's too bad they didn't do a comparison of cars with stick shifts. I'm very interested in the 2012 Focus. Still leaning toward a Sky G or Sky D Mazda 3 with a 6 speed manual. Be interesting to compare a 2012 Focus to...

Traded in my 2003 Ford Exploder for a Graphite 2011 Mazda 3s Sport HB w/ tint. Invoice w/ dealer tint was 21.9k-ish. Paid 19.5k (20,450 with TT7L), got 3.2k for the Explorer so ended up paying 17,250 out the door. Seems like a decent enough deal and the car overall seems like a crazy good value...

I noticed the dipstick on my 3s 2.5 says FoMoCo. I though the 2.5 was a Mazda built/ designed engine and the J in the VIN code (J meaning my car was made in Japan) meant it had mostly Mazda parts. I also believe Ford now owns less of Mazda.
