So I go to fuel up and the fuel cap won't come off. It'll unscrew but it won't come out of the fuel tank. I screw it back on and try again...nope it won't come off at all. Of course I have to do it multiple times to make sure it's not operator error. I happen to have a set of channel locks with...

Just had a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires mounted on the 3 and just driving home all I can say is wow. What a difference from the stock rags that were on the car. They are well worth the $$

I'm wanting to upgrade the horns to the Hella supertones and want to put them in the bottom grill. I've seen pics of it and was wondering how much of a hassle it was to do. Can it be done without pulling the bumper or does it have to come off? I do like the way they look peeking out of the...

I'm getting ready to get some tint and the more I look at it the more questions I have. I'm looking at 3M for the film (no metal?) but I'm not sure of a shade (color?), I think 35% is all I can do in Washington but... What looks the best on a hatch? I'd like some input from those who have done...

Can someone explain how this tranny works? I have the 5 speed auto and if your cruising along at say 60 and step on the throttle a little it seems to down shift but it says it's still in 5th. I would think 5th is overdrive. It seems to do it in other gears also but it's more obvious in 5th. Is...

I can't seem to adjust to how light the gas pedal is. Way too soft for me. It gets old trying not to push on it. I feel like I'm having to hover over it. Has anyone tried to stiffen it up any? I have to really look at it but I was thinking a heavier return spring or...? It's not fly by wire is it?

So I'm cruising on ebay and come across a tower support: http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230325179644 Think it's worth it?

Before I go and buy cords and wiring, can I plug my phone in the aux port and use the speaker mode to hear and talk? I'm guessing I still would have to talk into the phone but would I hear it out of the car speakers?

How does it mount and where can I get one and how does that little plug for it come off?

I had a difficult time taking the cap of the other day. It would turn but not release. I had to mess with it for awhile before I could finally get it off. Anyone else have issues with it? Rhon

Wow, I haven't seen anything on the radio issues lately. I'm guessing everyone got it changed out and any new 3 had it fixed...

Now I'm convinced Mazda has been with Ford too long. I've got the car on the lift and I'm looking at the cowling and what's this, a nice little hole in the cowling to get to the filter. But no no no...it's off about 4 inches to one side so all you can do is look at the filter and not remove it...

So with all the new purchases, I'm wondering what the ratio 4 door to 5 is? Just wondering...

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this quertion or not so I'll do it anyway... I've noticed, and it's driving me nuts, that the steering wheel is off center to the right about a click. Does anyone else have that issue? I've tried to ignore it but I can't. It's going to the dealer...

I'm thinking of adding these to the rear bumper. From the looks of them they just stick on with tape? Wonder how long they'll last... Yes, no, maybe... Comments are most welcome

Does anyone have the PM schedule on a spread sheet or something. I'm not to thrilled on how the book reads. I'd like to be able to look at the list to see what I have to do along with changing the oil and tire rotations... Thanks

I'm still getting used to how the 3 handles and drives but I've noticed something that is strange to me. With the automatic in 5th if you start to push the on the throttle, it seems to downshift instead of just taking off like it's coming out of another gear. Isn't overdrive 5th or is overdrive...

Not even a 1000 on the clock and I found a rock chip in the hood...Has anyone tried the clear, I think it's 3M, hood covers? I really don't want to use the leather type of bra on it. They just kind of peel and stick right? Just wondering...

How do you remove the engine cover? I can't feel or see any bolts or screws holding it in place and I sure don't want to reef on it, break something and get the wife mad for breaking her new car...Does it just pull off? thanks...
