Not all radio stations stop, based on my experience with my Subaru which has the same deal, 3 months full access, then 3 years traffic, weather, etc. There are some basic news and talk stations supplied. I use is NPR Now and BBC World News on occassion, but mostly just use CarPlay or plain old...
Our car is in the body shop so I cannot tell you. I know that you get speed limit and stop signs but have not come across red light cams like you get in Waze
Not saying the car doesn’t do it, just that the area we frequent does not have red light cams...unlike DC where I am sure it is a...
No, I use climate control all year around except on the rare occasion when it is not cold, rainy or hot and humid. And even then only for short periods because the wind noise and buffeting in the cabin makes the music hard to hear.
The side wind deflectors always seemed like a pain in the...
This is correct. When you remove the AFS headlight, it has to be recalibrated with the steering angle sensor by the dealer so it points in the right direction as the steering wheel turns. So says my body shop.
Just thought I would follow up on this sordid tale. The other party accepted liability. The damage is a small dent and deep scratches that broke the paint at the leading edge of the front passenger door, about 12 inches high and 6-8 inches in length. Maybe small damage to the trailing edge of...
Fluids could be expensive because of weight.
Parts may not be so much of problem. I think Scarborough Mazda in Canada has good pricing and they ship to the lower 48 as I recall, for free. They have site and sell on eBay. I would find the OEM part number, and search using that number...
Regarding Manufacturer Extended Warranties, as discussed this is mostly profit for the dealer. You should also see what is included in the fine print. I have heard, for example, with an engine problem, Ford was charging $50 deductible per occurrence. Burned valves on a V8 is $50 for each valve...
Glad you did the research to demonstrate the package is not worth it. Typically you just go to the service department and ask how much each service is, and typically you find it is way less. In addition, dealers will charge something like $100 to change the cabin air filter. You can get the...
My understanding is you should have been given the Monroney sticker, the preprinted, from the manufacturer label that lists all the particulars, as required by federal law.
You can look on the Mazda web site for MSRP (which includes the $1100 destination fee). Notice the difference between MSRP...
FWIW, there are two different Mazda part numbers for the bumper cover, so perhaps @Mazdiod2 is correct.
0000-8T-R13 (2013-2016)
0000-8T-R10 (2017-2021)
For all aftermarket pieces that use 3M like double stick foam tape, I have had to apply "reinforcements" including an aftermarket stainless...
I have done the swaps, using a Dremel to remove the tabs that allow the bulbs to fit in 9005 and 9006 sockets. The 9012 for 9006 lo/hi bulbs are brighter, they do last a shorter time, probably about two years. This was done on a 2009 Civic Si (I know, ancient history) with no wiring issues...
Can you isolate the corner it is coming from. I remember having a set of Yokohama UPAS tires and I could feel it in the passenger rear I moved the tire to the front and felt it in the front. Turns out the tire was defective. The shop tried moving the tire to different wheels and could not fix...
