Great, thanks for the info on that tool, i should get a diagnostics tool anyways and if the Solus is a "bit" more expensive than the OBD-II i'll go for that.

Fadi 26 yo 2008 Sunlight Silver Metallic (I'm guessing) Mazda3 s Sport HB (slushbox sadly) IT consultant

buy a 2.3 L3-VE engine and slip it in there. that's the only thing you could do, i tested those 1.6s when i was back home, they are DEAD SLOW

bump, no ideas at all ?!

In fact Ford has 33.9% stake in Mazda, which in Japan makes it the controlling interest. Ford lately announced that it's to sell part of it's Mazda stocks though.

Bump ?! no one used the OBD tool ?!

up in GE Evendale there are a couple of light silver MS3s a dark Gray MS3 and a red MS3. Personally I've seen a white MS3 with black tints in sharonville, and i think that is the best look.

i don't like it at all, the front looks bad, and the rear looks worse ! the MS3 variant is too ricy with that hood scoop. but the interior is nice, i guess.

Greetings MS3Steve and HeroinBob, I got my mazda3 from tri county, i didn't go for the speed since i was leasing. once my lease is over i think i'm gonna move to kings mazda for my maintenance as you guys recommended. Planning on some light modding by then. Good to know there are cincinnatians...

Greetings people, So I have decided to buy my Mazda3 after the lease is done with, given the reliability i have seen in the past year. My alternatives were the MS3 (discarded because i don't want a stick for my daily commute, traffic stinks especially when you're half awake) and the GTI...

What does this tool do besides diagnostics ? is it possible to access options like lights auto shutting down ? windows closing when car is locked ? stuff like that ? Kinda like VW's VIA-COM does.

I will post some pics as i get home, but it's as factory as it gets, since it's a lease. on second thought, i'm reconsidering modding it. i should really just upgrade into a GTI.. the RIGHT choice is MS3, but with my commute a stick will hurt

Regular 3 thanks that's why i put in "noob alert" so that the admins move this to the correct section, thanks for your tolerance

Okay, so i am a complete noob when it comes to this Mazda3, eventhough i have been leasing the 08 HB for more than a year now, and i was wondering: Assuming i will buy it once the lease is over (contemplating getting a mkv GTI, but worried about the maintainance) what are available mods for it ...
