My first Mazda was a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 GT. Loved that car. Drove it hard for 100K then sold it. I now have a 2016 Mazda 3 s GT in Soul Red. No mods. This seems like the most friendly and active forum on the internet for M3. Look forward to discussing one of my favorite subjects with you guys...

Hey members. Came over here from Mazda3 forum at the invitation of some guys from over there. Formerly had a '04 3S hatch 5 speed that I swapped a '15 Fusion 2.5 into and enjoyed before selling it 4 months later. Have a thread on that forum called" 2.3 to 2.5 swap in progress" under...

Long time Ford/Mazda/Fazda owner… currently shopping for a new daily driver, and have decided to look for a 10-13 Mazda 3 S Hatchback. It’ll be replacing my “unicorn” Subaru, which I enjoyed while it lasted, but costwise I can’t justify building a new engine for it (spun a rod bearing @ 212k...

Just picked up a 2018 3 Hatchback in Titanium Flash Mica, or Brown, for my wife on 50 year anniversary. Replaced a 2007 CX3 with 140k miles on it and except for the timing gear fiasco which I got reimbursed, had 0 problems with it. Also have a BMW 135IS vert. Where is a good place to pick up...

Hello In June I purchased a 2017 3 Hatchback GT I like a lot of the car. Works perfect for running around town. Wish the center Vents had wheels to close the vents. Not that might matter much, My real fun car is at 1974 Triumph TR6 Which I wonder might be older that most of the people on...

Hey all, I lurk on the site all the time, there is so much information that comes up when I do a search, I was hoping someone here could get me some condensed information. I have a 2016 Mazda 3, basic model, it didn’t come with the Nav system but I could have bought the SD card from the dealer...

Hello forum. I'm new to this forum, I'm from Mexico and I'm buying a brand new 2018 Mazda3 GT, I hope I can get it next week. I'm here to learn the most I can of this car because it will be my daily driver for at least 6 years. I'll start reading the entire forum before I get it. Thanks for...

Hey everyone. I just bought an 07 Mazda 3s hatchback, my first mazda. Anyway, my intention is to turn her into a track car, so I'd appreciate any advice y'all could give in reference to modifications or what to avoid. Glad to be part of the forum!
