    Third month impressions on my 2019 Mazda3

    Right now my car is at the dealership for the locking failure and I had a pleasure to drive Mazda 6 from 2017 as a loaner. I noticed very substantial differences in driving. I like Mazda3 much more. But there are two things that are better on Mazda6 - the seat is better and the way it handles...

    Used 2017/2018 Mazda3: What should I look for?

    Do yourself a favor and get a better sound system. Also - check the Bluetooth sound quality. Hold your phone while talking using the hands free on the car and then turn off the ignition and continue talking on the phone. Your caller should be able to tell you if you sound better through the...

    2019 Safety Feature Problem?

    Same thing here. The brakes engaged in 3 instances and I almost had an accident once because of it. I got really scared when it happened. At one time I merged into slower traffic on the lane to my right and the car slammed on brakes once my speed was adjusted (slowed) to theirs. The brake...

    2018 Hyundai Elantra has a better radio display than Mazda3

    I had to leave my Mazda3 for repairs and got a 2018 Hyundai Elantra as a loaner. So I am driving this - and I figured it would be so nice - to have the same type of outlay for all radio stations buttons on Mazda3. Mazda3 has so many issues that Elantra feels like a luxury car offering buttons...

    who can fix the intermittent auto lock problem?

    I disagree. It is not what I am experiencing. I can spend a lot of time around it and it won't beep while I am out. I engaged Mazda directly. I am trying to have them make some effort to fix this. The dealer visit was a waste of my time. I wasted 1 day for it and I don't have the luxury of...

    Most adorable things discovered on my 2019 Mazda 3

    I am adding the auto lock feature. This is a great feature. Yeah, I complained about it failing in another thread but it doesn't make it very much less exciting. It is simply amazing to be able to just walk away and see it lock. I didn't try the the MRCC yet. I never had a chance to go for a...

    who can fix the intermittent auto lock problem?

    I just got back home from my local dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with my auto lock. Duh. They wrote in the paperwork quote: "No stored or pending trouble codes. Operated dozens of times. No problem found at this time. Vehicle operating as designed." Do you know of anyone who...

    list of most annoying issues on my 2019 Mazda 3

    I need to add one more thing to the list - the rear windows operation. Have you tried lowering the window by just a little bit - like an inch maybe? See how hard it is? That's my point. When the window starts going down - it goes down by 4 inches before i can stop it. It is really hard to do. I...

    How to disable LAS - Lane-keep Assist

    I almost crashed my car because of this "feature". It was a specific situation, where the lane turned left and I was accelerating a little, there was a wall on the right and I kind of veered left and the car suddenly turned towards the wall. I almost lost control. I mean I was really lucky that...

    Most adorable things discovered on my 2019 Mazda 3

    I have a 2018 CX5 and that has the base sound system. It is also made by BOSE I am hearing, but there are no labels and it is a no-name basically. Sounds mediocre. It's bad. There is a MAJOR difference between that and the new 2019 Mazda3 premium sound. I started reading about it - and I found...

    Parking break disabling feature doesn't work. I realized with horror that this thing can't be turned off. Damn manual. This thing I pulled from the manual does not fix the problem. I tried. I am taking this car to a dealer. They have to fix it.

    intermittent door locking on 2019 Mazda 3

    You are right You are correct about the functionality of the auto lock. There should be no need to wait for anything. This is a failure. Period. Our car has a malfunctioning auto lock function. It appears to not work when the first beep is missing. I noticed two types of behavior when it...

    intermittent door locking on 2019 Mazda 3

    It is my 3rd week with my new 2019 Mazda 3 and I am noticing issues with the door locking. I set it to auto lock and most of the time it does work, however it does not always work that way. The idea of key-less entry and locking is just great - In theory it is a fantastic feature - but walking...
