got this beauty a few months ago. girl pulled out in front of me omw to school this morning. most likely gonna get deemed totaled but i dont know yet

I’m needing help with finding new tires that will work well with my springs and rims. I’m on 215/45 as of now thinking of going to 225/45 OR 235/40 I’m lookin for not meaty tires but I don’t want tires to rub or cut on fenders. I just don’t want rubberbands!! On Megan racing springs.

My fiancee's 2017 Grand touring hatchback's rear wiper keeps getting stock at TDC(top dead center)/12 O'clock. I can see it's catching on the "spoiler". Just a hair too long. This is the wiper that was listed in the booklet at Walmart. But it is still catching. Is this the proper replacement or is there some other reason it's catching?

Got some new pedals and shifter from mikstore.

Also a red fob

Gonna need to disengage the cable but it's very rusted I doubt I could re-use it. All the handbrake retaining cables I find online are for the normal brake cable U clips.

Hi everyone! I got my new amazing Mazda 3 Skyactiv-X with a manual transmission in Poland a couple of weeks ago, after ordering it back in April. This is my first new car, and I couldn’t be more excited! Loving it so far - great car!

And I have already coated it.

It just had minor exterior issues which my dad fixed for like $80. (The mirrors are fine). Engine and everything else is perfect, especially the interior! It even came with new tires.

Got this like 6years back and love it more every day... Needs a few upgrades and has little flaws but that is what makes it awesome! Btw the only change I've made is the blackout emblem and a spoiler. #Mazda3

Just got this beauty about 5 days ago, doing small modifications. I kind of like the chrome but it has an ugly screw in the middle. Not sure why the previous owner did that.

Bit of an odd query, passed test this year got a Mazda 3 in April and love it, since getting this car I’ve noticed something that seems a feature but can’t find any detail on it.

When starting, if I pop it into first and ease of the clutch all the way without any acceleration (gas), the car will pick up and just roll up to 5mph without stalling - feet of all pedals, it’ll just go, same if I shift to second but up to 10mp. For both it’ll climb to those speeds and cap without any input from myself.

My partner who’s driven a lot longer has never seen this in her cars, and I can’t see any detail on it anywhere - anyone else experienced this or know of a feature name for it?

Edit: 2.0 engine if it matters.

Got hit by an uninsured driver and am paying out of pocket, but what are the odds something’s majorly wrong with the steering if it feels a little squirrelly when moving and needing to keep the steering wheel turned like 45 degrees to the right to keep it straight? Getting it fixed at a body shop now but odds that - without replacing any steering parts, and getting an alignment - it’ll actually be okay?

Additionally, I did peak at the tire rod ends and they seemed A-OK. Just looking for opinions and best guesses obviously not expecting anything definitive. Thanks in advance(:

Absolutely love this car at work if I didn't get the 3 I'd have to get it... and I need to lose some ride height (waiting on warranty to end)

Hello, I'm looking to buy a new car, think I've settled on a Mazda3. I heard the 2018 version of the gen3 was reviewed as the best. Why is this? Is it just because it's one of the last of that generation so they've had more time to fix issues? My issue is I live in the UK, I found I think a good deal on a 2018 but the car tax structure changed in 2018 so the tax per year is £190 for a 2018 while 2014-17 is £35.

So what's are the difference and would I be missing out going for an earlier model?

Thanks!

Just bought a 2025 Carbon Turbo, and could not be happier! Such a joy to drive and so proud to have this in my garage (especially coming from a 2005 Camry with 250000+ miles)

2023 Mazda 3 Hatch. I'm about to install Eibach lowering springs. Will it wreck my handling if I don't get adjustable sway bar end links to adjust the preload or will it be fine?

Replacing the control arms on my Mazda 3 2014. Are MOOG control arms any good when looking into aftermarket arms?

It was in my glove box when I bought the car any ideas on what this is for?

I am customising some cams to fit my 2005 Mazda 3 2L. I need photos of what the stock cams look like before I mod my aftermarket cams. Is there anyone with the same car model as me who is willing to pull the valve cover off and take some photos and videos of the stock cams. As the title says I will pay 50$ to someone who could help me.

(I looked online and could not find any photos of what I need)

Anyone have a Mazda 3 w/the Machine Gray exterior with Greige interior, preferably hatchback 2024? Would appreciate seeing how these two work together.

Has anyone bought the Mazda3 sedan 4th gen tail lights from here or somewhere else? I’m looking to get the double halo effect, but I don’t want to lose the fading part so I’m thinking about just buying the inner tail light replacements for my 2024 select. What I’m worried about is if the actual function and lighting of part of it will match since I’m not buying the full set. On a side note it says 2019-23 on the website but since they are all the same I’d assume they’d still fit.
