I have a ticking happening. It's typically not loud, sometimes when it's cold it's very apparent however. I can hear and even feel the tick if I'm on a hill and starting from stop at very low RPM. Is this something I should've have fixed? Is it something to worry about?

Thanks for any answers guys. Much appreciates. FREGGIN' LOVE THE MAZDA 3!

How is your oil level?
How long since your last oil change?
Is the noise coming from the engine or do you have an exhaust leak? A leak at the manifold or down pipe can cause a loud ticking sound.

Feel the tick? Might be exhaust leak (mopar nightmares arise) otherwise if it’s direct injection, could be just those high pressure injectors. Maybe as they age they get louder? Just a random drunken guess tho.
