Hello! I have an opportunity to buy a set of 4 in this style of rims locally for about $180 Canadian to use for winters. Problem is, aside from being "only" a 6.5" wide rim, the offset seems to be 52.5ET vs. the 45ET that will come with the OEM 19s. Will I encounter any issues using the Mazda3...

^^^ Nice to know it was included on the 18's.

I saw the other thread briefly yesterday - It didn't come to fruition for the '17s, didn't hear anything about the '18s

Paddle shifters would've been a nifty novelty, but they weren't included up here :(

Interesting! I wonder if there is a TSB for this...

Fair is fair, I'll give you the last one (drunk) This having been my 4th Mazda, I can tell you that none of the other two items will result in any significant action in Canada :/

Not sure there is a direct means to do this?

It might just be "cold" that it doesn't like (which would be super unfortunate)... The car was washed the day before, then kept in a nice warm garage overnight.

Just had this happen to my '17GT 2 days ago. While it was a little cold out (-18 celcius without windchill, -27 with), the car had been washed the day before so everything was spotless. Nothing obstructing the camera. I was parked and there was no snow or direct sunlight but it just kept...

No check engine light, no heavy gas smell, and the car has 1500km (932mi) on the odometer. I understand a cold start results in higher RPMs to speed up the warming process, but it's a very pronounced stutter and RPM fluctuation.

Not a huge problem, per se, but more curious as to whether this is common. I park my '17GT in the garage every night. When I start it up and want to reverse it out of the garage, if I don't let it warm up for at least a minute, the RPMs drop and fluctuate significantly enough to feel rough...

"... in the eye of the bee-holder" Seriously though, I thought I was driving a posh-interior RAV4.

I had a chance to drive a new NX whilst car shopping with a friend. While it doesn't look horrible, the drive was noisy and unrefined.

It's highly dependent on the manner in which you drive, but it's also normal for higher-than-usual consumption during the break in period. Also, the on-board computer generated figure for average consumption isn't entirely accurate so you may want to do the math based on your mileage per tank...

Local dealer had already confirmed cylinder deactivation a few months ago but had said nothing about the 2.5T. If true, I'd be kinda sad as we just took possession of a '17 this week...

Thanks everyone for their input! I did do some thread perusing, but much of it seems to be with an American context. Supposedly, the extended warranty sold here is directly from Mazda Canada (not a 3rd party). I didn't push the dealer very much, but they didn't seem to be willing to play...

Fair point, I guess, in theory, I can set aside the $40/month in a savings account. If I need it, it's there, if not, bonus.

Preface: Canadian I declined the coverage at first, however I'm getting nervous reading about transmission issues and potential gremlins since we have so many electronic doodads with the tech package. We don't drive too much (daily commute ~3.5km each way to public transit) so our yearly...

So ceramic coating (eg. Ceramic Pro, OptiCoat, etc) is not meant to protect against stone chips, they're more like applying a thicker clearcoat that has hydrophobic properties. The clear bra (aka PPF) however is a rubbery substance that is considerably thicker than a ceramic coating, and will...

Congratulations - I'm hoping to pick up my GT w/Tech in a few days. I bought mine in October so just missed out on the Bose promotion, but haven't taken possession as they had to order it from Japan. You did pretty well, negotiation wise. I hit up no less than 15 dealers in the GTA, and ended...
