Figured out the window issue. Anytime you disconnect the battery, you have to put the window down then back up while holding the up button for 3 more seconds after it closes.

Thanks for the tip on the one-touch down/up. Hopefully I'll find some info on it so I can get it fixed.

I would gladly share info from the manual once I got my hands on one.

Anyone played around with speaker upgrades for the doors in a 2010 Mazda 3? I spoke to Crutchfield and they only have one 5x7 speaker that's shallow enough to fit, and it will only fit in the rear doors. (I have the 4 speaker system) I was hoping to get a bit more bass without adding a sub+amp.

Hello all, I recently traded in my 96 Honda Civic for a 2010 Mazda 3 iSport (2.0L). I got excited when I saw DOHC VVT on the engine cover, but I was reading that Mazda's variable valve timing doesn't affect lift and duration. Is that true? I also saw it's an L series motor with FoMoCo...
