    Windshield replacement options?

    thx. I reported it to my insurance (no-fault) and they gave me the number for a Star Auto Glass. $250!!!! What a scam Mazda is contributing to with their $500 makrup. They'll even come to my work and replace the windshield while I get paid for researching new sound systems :)

    New sound system or wait...?

    Hi, I have 8 months left on my M3 lease but want to get some speakers put in. I know nothing about car audio or prices or anything at all...total newbie. If I buy something now, can I take it out and put it in my next car? What are the chances that it won't fit in my new car? Maybe some of...

    cold shifts are very rough

    As the OP, I think I'll jump in this slowly boiling water. First off, it was meant as a joke, so let's not look too far passed that, or too deep into the meaning of life. Secondly...I pretty much refer to USA and Canada as America. Japan and Switzerland are pretty much the same too; as are...

    cold shifts are very rough

    Update time... In April (366 days after I drove the car off the lot) I took my car to Dufferin Mazda to see if *they* (as opposed to my selling dealer in Whitby who just reset the computer chip) could do anything about the rough shifts. Without batting an eye they said they were gonna replace...

    Howdy, I got a notice from my Dealer like 2 months ago that there was a possible problem with an airbag deployment, or somehting like that. Arg, I don't have the paper anymore so I can't recall what the recall was. Anybody else have an instant recall on the M3 recall? thx, Jedi

    cold shifts are very rough

    Hey Ghost, nice to see you, lol ;). My shifts are actually not bad. Occasionally I get the odd roughness, but nowhere near wut they use to be.

    cold shifts are very rough

    I'm driving an automatic. I took it into my dealer and they said that the Mazda Hotline doesn't have a fix, but they have a workaround. They disconnected my battery and held the brake down for 3 minutes, which apparantly resets the transmission chip, or something like that. My shifts are much...

    cold shifts are very rough

    Howdy, I have 12,000K on my Mazda3, but cold weather starts have only appeared in the last month or 2, so I have no other comparison points. I asked a friend who has 24K on hers and she said she doesn't get rough shifts at all. Does anybody else experience this? Bodi

    Loosen steering wheel?

    So it is! I just checked Mazda.ca and I do have leather wrapped wheel and shift nob. Who knew, lol. Then yes, majic, you are correct, it's not leather-y enough...compared to my Accord. Oh well, if that's what I get then that's what I get. Maybe I should put on more hand lotion :)

    Hello fellow Mazda owners I had my 3 in the shop for a few days cause some fruit backed into me and dented my door. $1400 later, of his money :), I got my car back and it was SOOOO nice to drive it again. However, in the meantime I was given an '04 Malibu to drive. Not a bad car, had some...
