Nice find! I looked on Ebay before, but i guess i didn't use the right search words... I'll check it out. The Mazda's my wife's car, but since I have a mod bug myself, I do the occasional thing with her car. Maybe the LED's are next... =) I already put heated seats in it, and the guy did a...

Hi Tony, thanks. Even if the cargo tray wasn't OEM, but fit the car, I'd be ok with it. There's a few companies that make them I think, I'd heard of Weathertech, but I don't think they make one for our car - I'd have to get a universal model. But I think for now to save time looking for one...

Hi all, been a long time since I posted here. Loving the car... was wondering if anyone knows of Canadian online sites that sells accessories? I want to buy a rubber trunk cargo mat for my Mazda 3 Sport, but don't want to pay like $100 from the dealer... thx!

We get shafted in Canada, times 2! First, our manual comes in both languages, so it's super thick. Second of all, we don't get that nice neoprene cover like they do in the US! Which wouldn't fit the Canadian manual probalby anyway!

We've got 87, 89, 92, and 94 octane here. The manual says 87 is needed, is that enough? i generally like to put in one grade higher in my cars.

Which looks like a thin platic one the dealer made himself, rather than what Mazda gives with the car.

I got a plastic one from the dealer that holds the books. All cars I've owned in the past came with their own OEM booklet covers, with the car maker's logo on it or something. Did i get gipped? Theirs is thin plastic and has all their name plastered on it...

My other car at 10 miles per hour automatically locks all doors, then when u stop, if u remove key from ignition, it unlocks them (or you manually unlock all). I had to get the dealer to program it, (the software is already there as part of the ECU, it was just turned off). If anyone has done...

The salesman must have put it on bad. Do you know if the holes for the plate are pre-drilled, and I'd just have to readjust the plate somehow, or they drill the holes when they're putting the plates in... ... in which case I've got to get a new bumper to fix the problem??? I don't want to end...

So you found side to side tilt, when you placed the seat in the rear, behind the passenger or driver seat?

Interesting that you say that! Can you please elaborate? Did you read my post about the exact problem you're talking about? My post about rear facing child seats not fitting well Most people said they didn't have problems. What kind of problems did you have? A Consumer Reports article on...

Curious, do you find the trunk fits all their stuff no problems? Like the stroller? Do you have to take out the divider thingy in the trunk?

Thanks, I'll make sure to try the seat in the car first before buying it!

I understand that child seats are best put in the rear, not the front. But I thought that's exactly what the Consumer Reports article is talking about... that it's difficult to securely install rear-facing child seats in the rear, especially in the centre rear seat. Is that the case? Did I...

Who drives a Sport Mz3 (edit), and uses rear facing child seats? Is this true? I read this in Consumer Reports: Rear-facing child seats can be difficult to install securely due to excessive side-to-side tilt. The contoured center rear seatback complicates seat installation. Has anyone found...
