Hello,
I believe I've finally made the decision to purchase my first Mazda. I like the Mazda 3 Hatchback but in order to go beyond the base model, I have to get the 18" Wheels. I do not want 18" Wheels, I want 16" Wheels. I believe the 16" Wheels will give me a more comfortable ride by adding cushion between the rims and the road surface. I'm also learning that 18" Wheels wear faster and cost more money to replace.
I was told by a local Mazda dealer that they will sell me a New 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback in the Touring Package, 2.5 Liter, 6-speed manual with 16" Wheels. This would be exactly the way I would want to configure my new Mazda, essentially, this would mean the best of both worlds for me... I would get all the options that I want i.e. power moon roof, heated seats etc but with the 16" Wheels that are normally available only on the base "Sport" model.
My concerns are how this change would affect the Touring model... Will switching from 18" Wheels to 16" Wheels affect settings on the cars computer system? i.e. Odometer, braking, cruise control, stabilization, tire pressure monitoring etc.
Please advise.
