    2019 Safety Feature Problem?

    I found a way to turn off smart city brake support. Turn off i-ACTIVESENSE and you can then uncheck SCBS. At a cost though. Take a look at 4-85 in your owners manual and it will show all the "services" that i-ACTIVESENSE supports.

    2019 Safety Feature Problem?

    Correct. I thought I had disabled mine, but after checking it I had not. Asked the dealer about it and they didn't think they could turn it off.

    2019 Safety Feature Problem?

    I have mine disabled. I don't trust it for these stated reasons. Look for it in the i-Active sense settings.

    2014 onwards models - adjust handbrake

    Some of the snap connections need a good pull to get them disengaged. I was concerned too.

    2014 onwards models - adjust handbrake

    I adjusted mine a few days ago when I replaced the shift knob. These instructions might help: http://jamesbaroneracing.com/support/JBR%202014+%20SKYACTIV%20MAZDA%20Heavy%20Shift%20Knob%20Installation%20Instructions.pdf You'll need a deep 10mm socket for this. It's easy!

    2015 Mazda3 Sedan & Hatch - 2.5 Liter "S" Model with Manual Transmission

    For me it's a big difference from the automatic 2.5 I previously had. Mine is not broken in yet, but under 4000 it pulls well. On the road in 6th gear it accelerates nicely. Glad I made the change from the '14 sGT auto.

    I can confirm the '15 sGT with 6mt. I picked up mine last Saturday. Not a unicorn!

    Test Drive Impressions

    I agree about feeling closed in. The rear quarter visibility is non existent compared with previous models. But....I have learned to trust my mirrors along with the cross traffic alert an blind spot monitoring so I am happy.

    So How's The Road Noise?

    "In fact, when I honk the horn it actually sounds kind of muted." I don't have my car yet, but from what I've heard, the horn is pretty weak. Meep meep!

    Welcome to the forum. That was a nice comparison even though most of those cars aren't available in the USA. How long for you until the snow is finished?
