    I've had it for exactly two months and right under 2000 miles. So far, very impressed but with a few minor complaints. The engine (2.5) and transmission seem to be sorted well with excellent power and smooth operation. I'm easy on the gas pedal, so I'm getting around 34.5 MPG in mixed...

    Hey folks - I just picked up my '15 Mazda3 S GT hatch this past weekend. My wife and I had previously had a long run (we're old - in our 40's :smile2:) of fun, sporty cars with manual trannies. But with a long work commute, we both decided to give automatics a try. She didn't stray too...

    I'm looking for the revolutions per mile for the stock 18 inch Dunlops. Tirerack doesn't have that info and Dunlop's site is too dumbed down so it doesn't include that either. I've also seen two very conflicting numbers on other sites. Anyone know?

    I get so excited with this stuff, Yesterday I hit 601.4 miles on a single tank. The computer read 44.0 as I coasted into the gas station. After doing the math with what I put in, mileage came out to 43.75 mpg's. When the pump stops I always fit in an extra gallon to top it off. As you can see...
