Welcome to the forum. I got my Mazda3 hatch in April and have been very happy with it so far. Seems like a lot more new owners have been posting lately.

Nice Car. Red is the fastest color. :) I really like the grille and eyelids, it gives the car a much meaner look.

I've had my 3 for about 4 months now and I love it. I too was looking at the Scion tC, I am glad I got the 3.

I think what you are describing is the duct that runs from the front to underneath the drivers seat for rear passengers heat/AC. I personally havent had a problem with it while driving, however I sometimes step on it while getting out of the car and I keep thinking one day it might break because...

I was looking around more and apparently it sounds like that "vent" is for a temp sensor for 3's with climate control, which of course we don't get here in NA, I always found it strange that you can get a 3 with navigation but no climate control. That explains why theres nothing behind it.

I was just curious what this little "vent" was for. I did some searching but couldn't find an answer. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about.

Well, its only one thing thats gone wrong, hopefully you won't have too much of anything else go wrong anytime soon. I wouldn't start complaining just yet. I had a 2000 VW GTI and that thing was in the shop more times than I can count, I had about 25K miles on it and it started to become...

I thought it was pretty strange when I saw this post and noticed all that was actually tape, IMO I think it looks better black because then all the windows flow to the back nicely without any color in breaking it up, unless you have a black car, in which case I dont think it matters. I remember...

Black looks awesome when its clean, my GTI was black, it was such a pain to keep clean. It seemed to always look filthy yet I was cleaning it every other day. I love the red color of this car, everyone who sees it thinks its a flat red until they get closer to it and they always compliment me...

I just peeled it off using my fingernail, it came right off and didn't leave a mark.

Thanks, I think I'll go with the cigarette lighter, probably my best bet, does the panel snap off, or are there screws? I'm not too familiar with taking apart my 3 yet :-)

I did some searching but didn't find much. I was wondering where you guys with radar detectors, who hardwired them, tapped into for power. I don't want this to be too much of a pain just to hardwire my radar detector into this car but I'm not sure of the best place or easiest place to draw...

Yeah I took the dealer sticker off finally. I traded in my GTI for the A4 and traded the A4 in for the 3. The GTI was nothing but problems since the day I got it, and the Audi's miles were getting up there, maintenance/repairs are expensive on the A4 and I wanted something better on gas, and I...

Here are some pics of my new baby! I've gotten many compliments on the color. CLICK HERE!!

I'm goin to finally pick up my new baby after work and I cannot wait!!! I'll post some pics when I get a chance!

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I've been looking at several cars to buy recently and was almost set on buying a Scion tC and I'm kinda glad I didn't buy it. I went by a local Mazda dealer and saw a 2004 red 3 5-door, I'm a big fan of hatchbacks, so I decided to take a look. Its a nice...
