Cross-posted on Reddit. I have a 2015 Mazda 3 that recently had most of its driver's side front door replaced (and the area in front of the door behind the wheel, including parts of the left suspension, repaired or replaced) due to a collision. After the repairs I immediately noticed the "BSM...

I have a 2011 Mazda 3 hatch and I’m wondering if there are any suggestions for spoilers, perhaps a gt wing on a low mount or even just a extension a little bigger than baysonRs’ extension?

So just this morning, I installed the AEM short ram intake with heat shield for my 2016 Mazda 3 2.0 liter. After driving 10 minutes to work, I smelled an odd burning smell from my engine bay.

Just curious, how many of you drive more in manual mode, shifting shifter or paddles more than leaving in auto? Mine is Touring with no paddles but honestly with Borla s Exhaust I enjoy driving my car much more in manual mode shifting when I feel and only sometimes do I regret not buying...

Hi everyone! Just became a proud owner of a 2018 3 Hatch GT. So far, really loving it compared to my old Civic which was essentially a golf cart. I have a question regarding the display for Sirius. Album artwork is not displaying and a lot of the artist/song name are cut off. In addition to not...

I have had my Mazda 3 2016 Black edition for a few weeks. I don't have a button on the door handle like mentioned in other threads and have only been opening the door by pressing the button on the fob - i.e. it does not detect the key is in proximity and open the car. It does however lock the...

Hola Amigos. Looking at a Mazda3 hatchback, they sure do look sharp, but I do have some concerns. I have been reading everything I can on the forums. So I went to test drive one (white on red- Premium FWD- very pretty) and sure enough, it had exhibited a few of the problems that I have read on...

Hey all! 2011 HB w/ Bose system - the automated voice assistant and call quality have suddenly became ... well, terrible. Sounds very distant / tin-y and you have to crank the volume waaaaaay up to even hear anything. Music plays well but I'm also now noticing a bit of pop crackle on the high...

So someone hit my passenger side mirror on my 2016 Mazda 3 iGT while I was parked on a one-way street and now it just wobbles back and forth. All the electronics work (motorized adjustment, indicator, blind-spot monitor) and the cap doesn't have any paint damage, but I know that I'll need to...

So right now I am looking at the K&N CAI as one of several mods I plan on doing this year, but while researching different CAIs/SRIs, I learned a bit about the oiled filters used on CAIs. Most trouble (getting oil on sensors and causing a CEL) seems to take place after a cleaning and re-oiling...
