Hello M3 fans,

I bought my mazda 3 GT hatchback in 2016 - it is a great car. My only wishes would be for a light turbo (don't need 300 HP, just a lower torque peak) and an upscale stereo option.

This car won out for me over the VW GTI, and that is serious competition. I don't think the mazda 3 gets the credit it deserves. That said, Honda finally got off their butts with the new civic turbo, and Mazda should follow suit. I think the civic hatch is ugly, but it sounds like a solid car.

Anyone out there have a roof rack on their M3? I'm thinking about the "OEM" (Thule-made?) roof rack but am not sure if it can be locked to the roof or not.

Enjoy your mazdas, everyone!

The most recent thread on roof racks. The OEM does lock. It's what I'll be buying when the money is available.

A good roof rack can offer better options:

Transporting: Skis, snowboards, bikes, kayaks, storage boxes, pop tents and other misc stuff.

the oem rack reminded me of the starship reliant, but that setup makes it look like ecto-1. either way, sold :grin2:
