Hello! I’m in the UK and am looking to pick up a 2016 registered Mazda 3 and am struggling with the choice between the 2.2 Diesel (148bhp) and the 2.0 Petrol (118bhp) - both with around 20k miles / 32k kilometres on the clock. Obviously the 0-60 acceleration and MPG economy are much better on...

Hello, i was looking to purchase a 2011 for my son. it's a base car with 5-speed and 150k miles. It runs and shifts nicely. I took it up on the highway and there is a really pronounced shake at highway speeds. Felt it the most in the passenger seat. At first i thought just tires or a lost...

I recently purchased a Mazda 3 Hatchback 2018 GTS. At the time of purchase, I indicated that I wanted the full safety package (meaning the automated safety things like brake assist, lane departure, etc). The sales person said that GTS comes standard with that. Unfortunately, that wasn't true...

Considering a 2013 Mazda 3 for my son for a first car. Found a decent one, Mazda Certified, but when test driving it last night, I noticed that when braking, the headlights flashed. Not always but enough to be noticeable. The dealer said it may be the battery because it's been sitting a...

Hey all. Just signed most papers while waiting for a new Mazda 3 hatch to get to the dealer (dealer trade?), and have a bunch of questions! I was sold the Prepaid Maintenance Minder. I was told it was cancellable and refundable before the next free scheduled service (around 4 months later) but...

What is a better car to purchase: 2016 Honda accord sport or a 2016 mazda 6 touring?

Hi guys! I'm a car enthusiast (I drive a 2013 CTS-V sedan with a MT) and have been pushing my wife towards getting something a little more fun to drive than her current Forester. We're currently in the process of trying to find a manual SGT hatchback and failing fairly miserably with the local...

Hello All, I replaced my 16 inch stock rims on my 2015 Mazda 3 with 18 inch and the tires that it came with were 225/40/18. Now, I want to up the profile a little bit to give it some cushion on our terrible pot hole roads and also to fill in the wheel gap I currently have by a little, do you...

Issues with ordering tune kits from PeakPerformance Ive deleted all of my other posts from this thread, so things may not make sense when looking through everyone else's comments. In short, I ordered a tune kit from PeakPerformance after OrangeVirus decided to partner with them for...

Hey guys, I'm new on this forum and decided to post for some help on a Mazda 3 decision factor. I currently have a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0Turbo AWD limited top of the line SUV, however with just me, my wife, and our daughter, we decided to downsize to a Mazda 3 for the reasons of...

Hello All, I have a 2015 mazda 3 iSport. The vehicle came with stock 16’s steelies. I’m looking to upgrade to Mazdaspeed wheels which I have found. The Mazdaspeed wheels are 18’s, tire size 225/40 with a bolt pattern of 5x114. My question is, will I run into any problems going 2 sizes up? for...

Hello everyone, My apology if this has been discussed before but it seems like we purchased our BCR Coils from various locations. I was wondering where is a good place to purchase with good customer services and policy? Also, do I need to get the extended studs separately (as I read so far on...

I'm from St. Louis, MO. I am very close to buying a 2015 Mazda 3 I Sport MT in soul red. I am just getting in here to find a few answers to some of my questions and find some good info on the cars. Hopefully it'll be in my driveway by next week if all goes well. Thanks in advance for any help.

So I just purchased my first Mazda. It's the 2015 Mazda 3 Sport. I knew the owner of the dealership and got a great deal. Got it for 18500. This included the rims and window tinting. What's funny is this is about $115 a month cheaper than I was paying for my 2013 Limited Edition Hyundai Tucson...
