that's what I always used to think but then they had this:

it doesn't say what the Mazda3s average
and it also doesn't factor in that technically the people probably really paid...
I got this idea from another forum: I use a good solid 'real' hockey puck with a notch cut down one of the flat sides. It fits over the pinch weld so the jack doesn't crush the pinch weld.
One of the specialized attachments would probably be better but my jack doesn't have an opening for one...
here's a fun article:

Seem Hyundai fudges the numbers on whatever the key advertising item is at the time.
When people wanted HP they stretched their HP numbers. When 40 mpg became the magic number for compacts, they had to also get...
I know this is different atf, different transmission and a different car but here's our Mazda3's transmission fluid after only 10,000 miles compared to new.
And I also realize that appearance isn't the way to judge if it is still good or not. But it is enough to make me order a test kit to...
The fun with mpg is so much of it depends on how you drive (and some on where). And how someone drives is completely up to their own interpretation. I'm guessing a lot of people that say they get bad mileage and yet don't drive fast are ones that drive much faster than they realize and do the...
yeah, there are little things here and there there were clearly cost cutting but my hope is that it kept them from cutting anywhere really important and so far that seems to be true.
Plus with cross shopping the Terrain for awhile they CX5 is a lot cheaper and still better made.
I've been looking for some option to add an alarm for some time now and haven't had much luck.
I even just want something that will honk the horn if a door is opened and nothing more.
I'm also nervous about what your dealership said, wires in new cars carry more than just power which can mess...
I was going to suggest using just clear protection film cut to fit rather than the Mazda one.
"And pretty useless from a protection standpoint! "
Actually the clear 'bra' film stuff will protect quite well from scratches. If something you are loading or unloading contacts with the bumper the...
The problem with the jetta sportwagon is it is shaped too much like a suppository, in our car shopping I didn't look at it for more than 2 seconds before moving on. The problem with most VW's is a complete lack of style. They are just boring looking.
I see it all the time on forums online...
I asked in the 3 section about bluetooth with song info and they said use the poweramp player. Don't know if it works as I haven't gotten an android phone yet

I tried that on mine but found that although there was less wind noise there was much more booming pressure feel without the little flip up deflector. Some may not mind that but it was worse to me than the noise of the flip up deflector. Now I have the accessory deflector and all is good...
It is a quality issue of the music source:
page 5-38:
Centerpoint operates optimally with a 2-
channel stereo CD. Audio files encoded
with high compression can be played,
however, they may result in poor sound
quality.
l Centerpoint is available for 2-channel
stereo audio except for AM...
and there's some of the problem. If you filter down from the number of people that want a wagon to the people that want a more specific version of a wagon it limits the market even more. And then you end up with the 6MT models sitting on dealer lots for months because nobody around that dealer...
so far it is somewhat intermittent, I keep hoping it gets constant enough for it to show up at the dealer otherwise I'd just be wasting a day at the dealer with them saying 'nope, don't hear it'
