All, Last week I went to Open Road Mazda of East Brunswick N.J. to order a Mazda 3 hatchback in Deep Crystal Blue Mica with Red Interior, automatic transmission and Front Wheel Drive. They didn't have it in stock but told me that they can have one ready for me in a week. They did have it in...

Just got back from my first autocross in my Mazda 3 GT. I have done autocross in multiple vehicles and was really excited to try out the Mazda 3 GT on a dry course. I can tell this chassis has tons of potential and I am definitely taking a shot at the H-Street title next season. The stock...

Well last Saturday I took possession of a beautiful new 2017 Mazda 3 Hatch 2.5L 6spd manual in Snowflake White Pearl. I have not pushed it too hard yet as I want to wait until 2000km and ensure a good engine break-in period. A few km before I crossed 1000km curiosity got the better of me and I...

Now I've read back and forth discussion about short ram intakes, intake temps, cold air boxes, etc but very few reviews and impressions. It's been awhile since I've had one on a NA car and am interested to see some thoughts on these on a non-turbo car. Also why aren't there more people...

In case you haven't seen my other posts, I just took delivery of a '15 S-GT hatchback in Solar Red with the almond interior. To give you some background on where I'm coming from, here is the history of the last few cars that I've driven: '91 Sentra SE-R manual → '98 Audi A4 1.8T manual → '04 BMW...

2015 GT 2.5 manual here. Praise the Spaghetti Monster this is a fun ride! Ordered and installed the cargo tray and OEM pedal covers today. Curt hitch installation is tomorrow. The only other upgrade I’m considering is floor mats - leaning towards the one that covers the dead pedal. Only...

I live in Colorado and drove a 4runner and got sick of 15 mpg and driving up to the ski slopes 50+ times a year so I thought I would get a car with good fuel economy and just buy some snow tires. I compared the corolla, subuaru, and Mazda 3. The first 2 cars I drove first, they drove like any...

Hey everyone. I just picked up a 2011 Mazda3s 6 speed hatch about a month ago. I used to own a couple of GM F-bodies back in the day and this car is as fun to drive as any of those were. I was seriously torn between getting this car and a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 that the dealer also had on the lot -...

Recently purchased a new 2011 Mazda 3 5-door sport. Liquid silver, manual, no options except cargo net. Paid $19,125 plus a ridiculous but unavoidable $300 doc fee. At 0 percent for 60 months it was impossible to say no. This is my second 3. I had an 04 5-door that I liked, and regretted...

Well we picked up our 2010 GT on Thursday and turned in our Pro5 in trade. I had been hearing that the mazda3 was still relatively noisy. Well I must be easy pleased because I find this car extremely quiet and refined. I had the Pro 5 completely sound proofed from front to back all doors floors...
