With the 2019 Mazda3 just showing up in dealer's showrooms, the 2018 mazda3 can be a very intriguing value proposition. $16k-ish for a NEW 2018 mazda3 touring hatch/5 door if you are currently a mazda owner (I have a 2016 CX-5!). 2.5L, auto, leather, bsm, cross traffic alert, rear camera and...

the 2018 mazda3 touring comes with 18" wheels along with the dunlop 5000 sized: 215/45R18 if i want to change to another tire, will 215/55R18 fit? thanks in advance. rob

I am worried about the low profile 18" rims on 2018 mazda3 touring adding to a slightly rough ride/weird size i'm looking at picking up a 2018 leftover mazda3 touring hatch. i drove a friends for a brief time and was impressed enough to head to a local dealership (nyc metro) and see what i can...

thank you for sharing your insight. i ended up going with the michelin defender LTX M/S via tire rack shipped free/no tax to my local Mazda dealer who will mount and balance for $60. with $70 Michelin rebate, the cost isn't crazy expensive. i wanted a good handling tire which is decent in the...

i am "selling" my 2016 Mazda CX-5 to my older daughter. She lives 600 miles away in another state where she is working towards her PhD. I bought the Mazda as a Certified used from a local Mazda dealer. In negotiating the sale, the dealership extended the Certified warranty to 7yrs/100k miles...

2016 CX-5 Sport AWD with 17" rims. Yokohama Geolanders has 22k and looking like wear bars will be soon apparent. One rear tire has a plug. And another tire (front) also has a plug. (Damn, construction sites on my daily commute-screws!) I am thinking four Michelin LTX M/S at $145/per via...

Picked up the CX-5 this morning. Saleman was kind enough to spend nearly an hour going thru the working of the CX-5. Haven't had a newish car in a few years. Plenty to learn with infotainment. What is the current/latest software update? Can I perform the update or does Mazda? I know...
