    n00b here with a question

    Well to clarify a bit it won't void a warranty on anything outright. Sure they won't warranty your aftermarket intake but anything else can still be under warranty. It's only if they determine, which can differ so widely from dealer to dealer and the mood they are in lol, that it has caused a...

    New Member... why the 3 ?

    Is it something that's going to be firgured out or will it just stay this way ? I assume most will be in agreement with me on this but isn't the 3 the sexiest compact car for the money ? It just seems that when you have a gorgeous car like this with great lines and is this fun to drive wouldnt...

    "Mazda warrants that new Mazda cars and trucks will be free of defects with normal use and prescribed maintenance for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first" Thats what their attorneys say... and from that pic it looks like corrosion and I'd make them to warranty it. I cant imagine...

    Anyone run with a the 5 speed auto ?

    I've noticed that as well but the $329.00 makes me a bit hesitant but the delay in the DBW is a little annoying but then again I got stuck in a Kia spectra while my car was in the shop. Driving that makes you appreciate the 3 even more... Now the 150 or so for the BCC seems like a great idea...

Thinking about the mazdaspeed CAI over at protegegarage and doing the ground mod and maybe trying the buddy club condensor. I dont...
