Thanks for the responses, my dealer has been really good so far, so hopefully they will be nice enough to cover it this time around.

While braking (especially from higher speeds) I noticed my steering wheel has developed a bad shimmy from side to side recently. I am almost certain the rotors are warped. The cars got 24,000 miles on it. Is there any possible way the dealer may take care of this under warranty? Has anyone had...

Congrats! I noticed you are in CT, just curious, what dealer did you buy from?

Actually I do have blue rockblockers on the headlights, it's hard to tell. Yeah the color isnt quite right in the pics. I just installed my shark fin antenna, I'll post more pics when I can, oh and its an auto.

Here are some recent pics of my car, mostly stock still. I've got a shark fin antenna coming, hopefully tint soon.

Wow, I guess I will have my work cut out for me to get the price down, I won't hold my breath on it though.

I'm in Torrington. The car is at Modern Mazda in Thomaston. I'm definately going to try talk them down on the price quite a bit and if they don't budge I'll definately walk. I will check on that recall as well.

:D Anyway, My girl is looking at a 2003 Protege5, it's used and has 30K miles and the dealer is asking $13,900 I was wondering what you guys would think is a reasonable price for the car. It looks like it is in very good shape, I've only seen pictures of it so far. I don't really know a lot...

It does sound like a leak to me, and I'm no expert, the car feels totally normal to me though. I've got almost 19K on the car. It seems to make the noise at very low RPM's and once I start going around 3K RPM or so its totally gone. Like I said I'll have the dealer check it soon, I was just...

I recently noticed that when I start driving my car sounds unusually loud. Like right as I start to hit the gas (before 2K RPM) slowly its pretty loud then goes away, this is louder than I remember. The only way I can describe it is it sounds like a diesel for a few seconds and goes away, it...

It looks good, I'm not sure if I would have painted the piece over the gauges, but overall I like it, winning blue is really an awesome color (second to velocity red of course :D ) and it looks like you did a great job. I've seen too many interiors that people painted and look like crap because...

I've always hated stuff like that on my previous cars because I just didnt like the way it looked, but when my sunroof is open on this car, it is so damn loud I am actually thinking of putting one on. I wish there was something a bit smaller and more streamlined I could put there that wouldn't...

I agree with RacerChick, I bought my car from Modern Mazda in Thomaston and have it serviced there as well, its always a good experience.

I agree Vegasdriver, that the Mazda3 is a well rounded car. I also looked at the tC, and chose the MZ3. It is a fun car to drive and practical. I also like the styling quite a bit. Much better than the run-of-the mill econo-box. I think it offers very good value for the money as well. I have...

lol

I once had a 2000 VW GTI, I loved the car, I owned it for about 50,000 miles and it was nothing but problems, tranny problems (was an auto) sensors going bad, interior pieces breaking, not to mention the infamous window regulators, I just got sick of it. My brother owns a 2002 GTI and he has had...

I researched this a little further and found out that they will not fit. Someone found out that the the center bore is only 65mm and stock center bore is something like 67.1mm. So I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

So, I've been looking online for a set of steel wheels and winter tires for my '04 Mazda3 5-Door with stock 17" wheels. I've searched through the Mazda forums, I came to the following conclusion. From http://www.discounttiredirect.com I picked out the following: TIRE: HANKOOK W300 WINTR...

Yeah, I don't know of anything else out there for the 3 that might do exactly what you want.

http://www.bumperplugs.com They make Bumper Plugs and Door Plugs, don't know about fitting the 3 or matching colors. DoorPlugs $13.95 each
