    Have an appt this weekend @ a Hyundai/Mazda dealer to look at a 1 owner 2016 Mazda 3 Grand Touring with only 11,000 miles. Hopefully learn some owner details when I see the car, but I'm concerned so few miles in 3+ years. Anything in particular to look out for? Thank you in advance.

    I purchased a new 2018 Mazda 3 with around 650 miles on it. I'm assuming that it was used by the dealer for many short rides. Because of that I made sure that they included a free oil change when purchasing the car. I got the free oil change coupon (which I need to schedule), but was...

    Hello Mazda3 fans, After owning the Mazda3 for 2,600 miles, I couldn't take it anymore and had to sell it. My first 1,000 miles were great. No complaints. I was very happy. But then the problems began. First, the front axle was loose and they had to tighten up the bolts. Then the dash/ glove...

    Hello, I have just done 200 miles with '19 Mazda 3 2.5l AT AWD hatch and I love it. Mazda has more tech so I'm not going to comment about that. Given that my memory is still fresh with the previous experience with the Mk7 GTI DSG (Performance Pack), here are the most noticeable things for me...

    Our Mz3 has Dunlop tires with almost 24k miles now. Probably good for about another 10k. What has or does yours have? Ralph

    Here's a pic of all 4 spark plugs on my '14 2.0L Mazda3. Looks a bit worn, obviously, but there was no performance drop or any other indicator that led me to change these. I simply had the extra money and wanted to stay on top of maintenance. I replaced them with the suggested Laser Iridium NGK...
  9. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    I have a 2015 3sGT (2.5L manual trans) hatch. I'm the original owner, I'm at 29,600 miles, and I drive pretty gently. Two days ago I noticed a squeak/scrape from my driver's side rear brakes. Does 30-thousand miles sound about right for this car for needing brake replacement? Or is it likely...

    So I baught this car about a year ago and so far have had next to no problems with it besides it sometimes not wanting to shift from 1st to 2nd if I try and accelerating a bit faster. I recently checked the ATF, and it is quite dark so I figure it's time to change it. So the question is should...

  12. 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Wheels and Tires
    I know that total miles might vary a bit between the 2.0 and 2.5 Mazda3s, but I'd like to know how many miles you were able to get out of these tires before the tread was done. I know these are sport tires and have a lower tread wear rating. Off to Gen 3 Wheels and Tires

    Just a note. Manual says no matter what, max oil change interval is 10,000. My indicator was at 20% after 11,500 when I changed it. I’m sure it doesn’t matter, but I thought the indicator would let me know when to change the oil. It doesn’t keep the 10,000 max in mind. :frown2:

    Bought my skyactiv 3 hatch new back in 2012. Since then I've put 136k trouble free miles on the car. Well, it did need a rear swaybar link at 120k and I did front brakes at 125k or so. Best car I've ever owned, but I wanted something a little sportier for a daily. So I got a 2017 Audi S3...

    I have the latest NAV maps (July 28, 2017). I was driving west on El Camino del Mar through the Sea Cliff area of San Francisco today and suddenly my NAV was showing me located in San Diego. There was Tijuana just ahead. I then set it to navigate home (about 12 miles away) and then it got right...
