    Anyone experience rear clunk noise?

    Searched for rear clunk, didn't come up with anything that pertained to this. I have an 05 3 hatch and I've noticed that if I have people in the back when I go over bumps I am hearing some type of clunk noise. I can't tell what it is, but I'm scared to lower the car if it's always like this on...

    MSP or MP3 wheels on the 3?

    I've searched for some pics of this, but couldn't find any. Will these even fit on the 3s?

    How hard to hook this up?

    Is it hard to hook up sub/amps to factory 6 disc Mazda radio in the 3? I want to get something like this to add a little more sound and bass. What would one need to do this job? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6983204&type=product&id=1099388637660

    Any deals on 2005 Mazda3 hatch??

    There are a few dealers here that have a lot of 05 3's left. No rebates on these cars I guess...I'm looking at a couple that list at about $19,455. Could one be had for under $18,000??

    Honda and Rail off highway.

    This is some bad stuff. I guess the Honda hit the beginning of the rail at about 100mph and slid this far down it. He lived as well.

    Protege 5 Incentives

    Looks like Mazda added a $1000 dealer cash incentive...a behind the scenes rebate. $2500 cash customer rebate $500 college rebate $1000 dealer cash. So in essence you can get a new one loaded for about 14,800.

    Got our new toys tonight w/ pics!

    My wife traded in her Beetle for the 04 Altima 3.5 SE and I traded my P5 in for an 04 Spec-V. It's funny because I had traded my 02 Spec-V in for the P5. I missed it though.

    Might be trading in the P5

    Will know tomorrow. Getting a 2004 Altima SE 3.5. I need something bigger and more powerful. I've always been a Nissan fan and actually had traded my Spec-V in on this P5. I got a decent trade in on my P5, anyone interested in buying it though here in Indy? $11,400.

    Tire replacement==what did you use?

    On my Factory dunlops, they are pretty sad. Tread is good, but look dry-rotted and no one will cover them. Only have 19,000 miles on them. Anyways, I see that I can get a set of Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires 195/50-16 HR rated Mounted/Balanced, out the door for $279 including tax. Good deal...

    MSP Pricing?

    I'm seriously considering a new MSP. I figure with the $2000 rebate, $500 college cash and $500 Dealer cash I can get it for $3000 below invoice. The only problem is that on my P5 I am $3000 upside down. With all the cash, can one buy an MSP for $15, 500 or so?

    Snow is coming--1st for me in this car.

    In my Protege 5 that is. Anyways, I have 18,000 miles on the stock Dunlops and they look good still. How are these cars in the snow? I don't have the extra cash to buy snow tires and what not. So I'm going to chance it, but how was the ride for people that drove them thru the winter snow?

    My tires are dryrotted!

    I only have 18,000 miles on my 02 P5 and the front tires are dryrotted and cracked. I wonder if these would be covered on any kind of warranty?

    My new used purchase today.

    I bought this car and I used to own it a 1 1/2 years ago. It ran low 13's in the 1/4 mile then. It's ready now to go back again. Here's a pic. Not pretty, but that doesn't matter.

    Warranty Question

    On my 02 P5 that has about 15,800 miles on it, I've noticed that the front tires are kinda dried out and cracked bad throughout the tread, not on the sidewalls though. It was like this when I bought it 3 months ago, but I never thought anything of it until now. Any ideas why this would happen...

    Roof Rack questions.

    I have an 02 P5 and I want to take the racks off the roof, but I bought my car used and I don't believe the pieces that fill in the gaps on the roof are there. Anyone know what part numbers are, or how much they cost from the dealer or anywhere else? Also, why do our cars only have 1 power...

    Service Department Troubles!

    I'm new to the Mazda family and all. I have owned Nissan's for a long time, probably because I worked there. Anyways, never had service issues like this. I took my 02 Pro 5 in last week because I noticed a vibration in the steering wheel when I braked. I thought no big deal, only has 12,000...

    Brake noises, need help.

    I have an 02 P5 and here lately, who knows it could have been going on for longer, I hear a rubbing type brake noise when I'm driving slowly. The car only has 13,000 miles on it. The noise stops when I hit the brakes. It's easily heard when driving along side a wall or something. It's not bad...

    Getting the rotors turned already?

    Have an 02 P5 with just 13,000 miles on it and it has a slight vibration when braking so I'm taking it in to service. They say it's most likely the rotors are slightly warped. Is this common on a low mileage Mazda? I've never had this happen so early on other new cars. Are there any things...
