I have accumulated such a film on my windshield that it has become a problem when I'm driving against the sun or rain. I have tried all different kinds of cleaners including one my dealership recommended. Nothing is taking it off. I have it on the inside and outside. I am not a smoker, so I know...

Like I promised! Here is a pic of my pride and joy!

I Got My Mazda3! I bought my Mazda3 today! It was the only one like it in the state. It is an S in winning blue with the moonroof, 6 disc, sports package and rear wing spoiler. The dealer tinted the windows already with a Titanium tint and it also has an aluminum fuel door. I drove it home from...

I talked to a dealer yesterday, and found a 3 I'm interested in. It is an S,winning blue, five speed, with moonroof and 6 disc with the rear wing spoiler and the sports package. The dealer has already customed tinted it to max legal here in OK. It looks awesome. I asked about the wheels and they...

Same with my Shadow- it has been the best car ever. Only routine maintenance is all I had to do with it other than a wreck I was involved in and the drivers side had to be rebuilt. For being 13 years old and having 130,000 miles on it, the Shadow still beats alot of the new cars out there with...

Is the i still quick? I have a 92 Dodge Shadow five speed V6 right now that has about the same horsepower as the i would. I am the kind of person who doesn't waste any time at a stop sign or getting on the highway, know what I mean? My main reason for getting the S was the horsepower and a few...

Well, in that case I may just opt out of the sport package. I commute 70 miles/day to work and a spare tire will not work for two days on busy highway traffic. I called more places today that quoted me at $150 for one tire, $180 balanced. I'm all about the car looking hot, but I just don't have...

I wouldn't mind throwing a couple hundred down for a tire if I got paid more, but in my profession it aint gonna happen! I will talk to my dealer about the sports package, and see if I can get the tires switched out. I want the ground effects and I know that it would make the car alot better...

I see on tiretrack.com that tires are available cheaper, but no dealer has those tires. Ordering off the internet just doesn't work for me. I'd love to have the sport package, but it is something I can live without. I'll keep checking around, though and if something becomes available within the...

I'm concerned about the cost of the tires on the 17'' wheels. The tires that come on the car are 205/50 R17 tires. For that tire, I called around and every place I called quoted me between $175 and $300 for that kind of tire. I would love to have the sports package, but as a teacher, I don't...

Ordering them off of the internet doesn't help me if I have a blow-out and I can't afford to buy some to just have laying around. I just don't see it as a necessity. I've seen both kinds of tires on the 3's and on the road you can't tell much difference. Even the dealer and the tire stores tell...

This price was quoted to me at every place called Maybe not where you're from, but here they are expensive. We've called several places, and they were very surprised that we were even checking. They said alot of people get this size (P205/50 R17) not knowing how expensive they are and then...

Colors I'm hoping to get a Strato Blue 3. My second and third choice is Sunlight Silver Metallic and Black Mica. I'm going to do my homework and get a report from Consumer Reports on how much the dealer is paying for the car, so I can work on talking them down (since I'm a girl I want to be...

Thanks for the info. I did not know that they would switch out like that. I will definitely try to work something out with my dealer. Also, I have a question on the color "Strato Blue". Is it the indigo more purple color? I have seen the winning blue on the RX-8, but I am more of a dark...
