Hi everyone, I am a bit anoyed by this function, it's winter in my country and temperatures below 4ºC (39ºF ?) are a daily thing, so this beep that every day makes me think something bad has occurred with tires engine or something, I know intentions are good, but I also know It's cold outside...

2016 M3 Touring 5-door. So yesterday I had the great fortune to run over an almost intact thrown tread from an 18-wheeler while in fairly heavy beltway traffic at speed. The tread had pulled itself back into a ring and was lying on its side and it appears that I got most of it with the driver's...

Hey all, I'm planning to take a 30 day trip around the US this summer with my pup and wanted to make sure that the car was well relatively prepared for the journey in terms of preventative maintenance. I come from the world of old 80's/90's Volvos, so I'm well accustomed to driving with a...

Hi, Hope someone can help/advise please. (2014 2.2D Sport Nav 57K miles) I have a really annoying hard metallic knocking noise coming from front offside suspension which only occurs when I drive over a broken road surface (fine over speed bumps). Just the slightest broken tarmac surface will...

$250 + shipping: Brand new set of Koni Sport Shocks for the first and second gen. Never installed. Sold the car and never got a chance to use these. Great deal on these rebound adjustable shocks that will take the handling to the next level and pair well with stiffer or lower springs. Was $700+...

Hey there! So I have a 2012 mazda 3. I have been having issues with the rear of the car. My car has 124,000 miles on it. It rattles severely when I go over the smallest bumps or uneven roads and it throws the car around like I am driving a semi truck. I have had it in the shop several times...

My 2014 Mazda 3 Touring only has 11,500 miles. We have always noticed it seem to need constant stirring. I think the term is road walking. We just took a 700 mile trip and it seems to be getting worse. The last time I complained to shop foreman he said there was nothing he could do about it...

Here's a picture from a road trip just completed. I hope that others' similarly post their road trip fun, exciting or similar pictures of this thread. Although I have driven 2,000,000 miles, previously my steepest incline or ascent was 12% when I drove the "haul road" (the Dalton Highway from...

Anybody going to Road America for the IMSA event? I see that there is a Mazda Coral @ the Outside of Turn 13. Hope to see you there

This past weekend, I was finally able to take the 3 out on a short 600 mile road trip. Being a smaller car, I was unsure of how it would do loaded with my family. It turns out, it is a very capable highway traveler. With the 80 mph speed limits here, I was still able to manage 32mpg with the...

This build thread will be ongoing, covering around 35 mods (at least so far). It started with our GT hatch arriving this past Wednesday (3 1/2 months after it was ordered). "Traveler" is my wife's car (and she named it that, said it was fitting because of all our our road trips), though I will...

For some who have taken many road trips, the attached AAA article is elemental, but had good reminders for us all. However, for those who are about to take their first or second one, some good-sense preparation recommendations. Source=AAA Do you have additional road trip recommendations?

I'm considering buying a new Mazda 3 2.0 Petrol Sport Nav Fastback (UK model) which has the low profile tyres on 18" wheels. The updated Mazda 3 claims to have improved sound insulation. What do owners of the revised Mazda 3 think of the levels of road and engine noise? Has there been a...

Longest single trip to date in my 3; nearly 3K miles round trip, from Texas to North Carolina and back. We (my son and I) made it to NC safe and sound and figured we`d share some of the experience as it pertains to the car we all share a fondness for. (1) roughly 1400 miles in so far. Averaged...

Having found the road noise in the Mazda 3 loud at times, and read the posts here. I thought I'd check before playing around with sound proofing. The road noise in the Mazda 3 is louder than my previous car, a 2013 VW Golf, but can't compare now unfortunately. Used Test Technologies LCD...
