Hello! I have an opportunity to buy a set of 4 in this style of rims locally for about $180 Canadian to use for winters. Problem is, aside from being "only" a 6.5" wide rim, the offset seems to be 52.5ET vs. the 45ET that will come with the OEM 19s. Will I encounter any issues using the Mazda3...

^^^ Nice to know it was included on the 18's.

I saw the other thread briefly yesterday - It didn't come to fruition for the '17s, didn't hear anything about the '18s

Paddle shifters would've been a nifty novelty, but they weren't included up here :(

Interesting! I wonder if there is a TSB for this...

Fair is fair, I'll give you the last one (drunk) This having been my 4th Mazda, I can tell you that none of the other two items will result in any significant action in Canada :/

Not sure there is a direct means to do this?

It might just be "cold" that it doesn't like (which would be super unfortunate)... The car was washed the day before, then kept in a nice warm garage overnight.

Just had this happen to my '17GT 2 days ago. While it was a little cold out (-18 celcius without windchill, -27 with), the car had been washed the day before so everything was spotless. Nothing obstructing the camera. I was parked and there was no snow or direct sunlight but it just kept...

No check engine light, no heavy gas smell, and the car has 1500km (932mi) on the odometer. I understand a cold start results in higher RPMs to speed up the warming process, but it's a very pronounced stutter and RPM fluctuation.

Not a huge problem, per se, but more curious as to whether this is common. I park my '17GT in the garage every night. When I start it up and want to reverse it out of the garage, if I don't let it warm up for at least a minute, the RPMs drop and fluctuate significantly enough to feel rough...

"... in the eye of the bee-holder" Seriously though, I thought I was driving a posh-interior RAV4.

I had a chance to drive a new NX whilst car shopping with a friend. While it doesn't look horrible, the drive was noisy and unrefined.

It's highly dependent on the manner in which you drive, but it's also normal for higher-than-usual consumption during the break in period. Also, the on-board computer generated figure for average consumption isn't entirely accurate so you may want to do the math based on your mileage per tank...

Local dealer had already confirmed cylinder deactivation a few months ago but had said nothing about the 2.5T. If true, I'd be kinda sad as we just took possession of a '17 this week...
