    Door speaker not working

    I would start checking all the wires to the speakers. Which means pulling the door panels. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Fwd?

    Good snow tires make more of an impact on snow traction than AWD. Remember AWD does nothing for braking or steering. Sent from my B3-A20 using Tapatalk

    Winter tires

    I bought used WS80 tires for my FWD Mazda. ($200 for four with just a few hundred miles on them) First snow here in Northern CO and I am so amazed. Just so good in fresh snow, packed snow and ice. Sent from my B3-A20 using Tapatalk

    no more standing in rain while filling up :)

    It non-ny states it seems to vary from station to station, and sometimes from pump to pump at a single station. Regardless, isn't getting back into the car a huge danger? You can build up a charge and cause an explosion when you remove the nossel. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    While larger tires may raise the car a little, the top of those tires may hit suspension , steering and other pieces. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    skyactiv prices

    While that may give you piece of mind, it was pretty much just $1225 of profit for the dealer. So you did not get that great of a deal. Extended warranties usually have so many hidden conditions (ex save proof you changed the oil and filter more often than Mazda recommends or no ring coverage)...

    How much did you pay for your Mazda3?

    I had a 2000 Protege ES. Sold it in 2010 with 125,000 miles. Replaced one thing not covered by the factory warranty. The heater control switch, cost me $7 and about 45 mins. I had a 1993 Protege. Only had it two years from new until about 25,000 miles and it was perfect the whole time.

    How much did you pay for your Mazda3?

    Five Door Sport, no options: $17,750. I think windows sticker was ~$20,500. No fabric protection, paint protections or extended warranties. Put nothing down and took the Mazda financing for 5 years at 0%. Why spend my own money when Mazda is willing to pay me negative inflation to use their...

    MazdaSPEEDING ticket.

    And that conventional wisdom has absolutely no evidence to back it up. http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/redcars.asp I once read a story that white cars get the most tickets.

    MS3 vs MZ3 ownership poll

    Maybe the polls should be listed in one of the threads instead of the main folder. I know I never look at the main folder postings.

    The Official 2010+ 3/MS3 Aftermarket Wheels Thread: Post Your Pictures!

    Those wheels look really small. I had to look at the text to be convinced they were not 15"

    How much did you pay for your Mazda3?

    Based on just this you did get screwed of at least the 1600. Extended warranty package are totally unnecessary and totally just extra profit for the dealer. You bought a Mazda because they are well made, not because they are poorly made.
