not as reliable as a honda or toyota? what the hell are you talking about, i have had 2 and neither had any major mechanical issues. all they ever needed was routine upkeep, and as with any car this has to be done very regularly (fluids, tires, alignments etc) i would venture to say they are...

the front bumper is extremely easy to replace, had to replace a light assembly and the bumper comes off in under 20 minutes (mainly because so many bolts on the undershield)

anyone know if this is power or manual seats or both?

the room fuse runs the bcm or body control module which is a basic computer to control keyless entry, lights, dash, and some various interior equipment, these blow sometimes if the light fails a certain way and overloads a circuit then it pops the fuse to save your wiring and computer, look for...

the way the painted part of the bumper cracked to get it back right you need a new bumper, sorry theres not an easy or attractive looking way around that, i would find a local well reputed body shop and ask how much they would charge to paint a new bumper and change it for you if you dont know...

concept, the ia will become the toyota yaris ia and be a toyota that is exactly the same, and to the op i use my 3 as a commuter car and i am by myself in it 90% or more of the time. i get around fine and it is in a bigger car class which gets you more trunk/hatch space and more roomy interiors...

either way i think they are both fine cars, again i prefer mazda 3 over civic after seeing/being in and owning several of them, and the mazdas seemed to be just a tick better all around. many civics i have driven or rode in have had bad rattle problems as well, the interiors seemed to fall apart...

honestly i would have a hard time choosing between the new models too. they both look good, but the 3 has a little more power in the larger engine and being naturally aspirated means you get no lag to get power its there. i think the 3 has the better interior ergonomics of the 2, but for me the...

as he stated above, also check for a fuse called "room" as my grandmas mpv had a similar issue and it was the "room" fuse had blown when the light failed

motor mounts, service records, auto trans fluid condition if you look at autos, HIDheadlights that leak, only rarely does this happen. basically motor mounts are the big thing to inspect on these cars outside normal used car look over

personally, i really care for my car but cannot bring myself to spend $100 or more on a set of mats that just get nasty and after about a month will never wash clean 100% again, so i use the michelin mats you can get a walmarts here in the usa they are about $27-35 USD here and you get the front...

it maybe possible to get a 2.5 and get a 6 speed manual like what comes with the 2.5s on the 2010-13s honestly though that maybe more money than its worth. the 5 speed may mount to the 2.5, many people dont realize the 2.0, 2.3, and 2.5 are all basically the same engine just bored and stroked...

answered you on mazda 3 revolution its long so i dont feel like reposting

thats a cx-5 or 3 not a mazda 3 and its not just a body kit

there is definitely liquid in your exhaust i saw some dribble out before it started to smoke in the video, i noticed your car was also covered in moisture in the video as well, that leads me to believe its water condensation issues and may clear up when it dries up some or warms up more only...

hell i even have a 2011 gt i bought used and the nav is oudated and useless as much more than just telling me what roads i am on. plus its so much easier to nav on my phone hook it to the bluetooth and let it tell me where to go. my phone gps is up to date and accurate plus i dont have to use...

should not be, if you do not have sat. radio you should have that port free, the 6 cd changer is built in and does not require extra plugs outside the radio

Honestly i did not feel the 4344 ngk iridiums performed as well as the lasers in my 2.3L 08 i put them in and mpg and throttle response decreased markedly. so after 4,000 miles they came out and laser iridiums went in and mpg and response returned and were better than old plugs. the 4344 is a...

well at 82k my 08 got totaled (my fault) rock chips, loose screws in sunroof, loose control arm bolt horrible tires (my fault not bad on the car's side) but caused vibration, 2 minor accidents that were not my fault, egr valve, and thermostat and thats it. it was great car sad it got totaled. so...

in our cars like many japanese cars power steering fluid is transmission fluid, they are both hydraulic fluids and serve the same general purpose. i have always used import multi vehicle (castrol brand) for transmissions and power steering in these cars and have not had any issues. i have also...
