    Mazda 3 Seats

    I've always had and liked leather, but compromised and got cloth. SURPRISE! I like it. Drove an S sedan w/ leather and found that I had to pay attention to keeping my body in place. The cloth holds you in place much better. I have winning blue w/ blue inserts on the seats. I think it looks...

    It's A Lease...What Can I DO??

    I like that carbonfiber look. But does it go faster? How's the driving experience? Smoother accelleration from start? Sure is pretty, though.

    Less is More (spoiler delete)

    Must be why they call it a "spoiler". Spoils the look. (hand)

    Do you hear that creak coming from the ceiling?

    You're right. I checked with the dealer and the parts guys said he doesn't have an availablity date. Right now they are no more than an inticing picture in the pretty brochure.

    Do you hear that creak coming from the ceiling?

    Got my car back last night. The creak is GONE! They pulled the headliner to adjust and lube the sunroof rails. The rattle in the passenger door turned out to be a Matchbox car my kid left in the door pocket. (braindead Found out that Mazdaspeed is offering front and rear sway bars!!! Gotta...

    New License Plates - What do you think?

    Just picked up the license plates for my new Mazda3. Take a look at the attached and let me know what you think. Should I keep them? Will someone key my car? Will everyone blame my plates if I get in a wreck? I want to know your opinion! (laugh) (laugh)

    Do you hear that creak coming from the ceiling?

    I'm taking my Mazda3 hatch in the shop tomorrow to have them check out the creak in the roof and the rattle in the passenger door. I'll update when I get the car back.

    Whats more fun, the Mazda3 with the stick, or the auto?

    Go Stick Nothing is more engaging and entertaining than a Mazda3 with a stick. I drove the Volvo S40 T5 w/auto and then immediately drove the Mz3 with a 5 speed. I immediately bought the Mazda3. The Volvo is refined and a nice car, but the Mazda puts FUN in my daily commute.

    Do you hear that creak coming from the ceiling?

    Yes, I have the sunroof. I thought about that on my drive in to work this morning. It only creaks when there is cross stress on the chassis. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Do you hear that creak coming from the ceiling?

    Do you hear that creak coming from the ceiling? - FIXED! I've noticed that my Mazda3 Hatch creaks in the ceiling over me when I back out of my drive. The bottom of the drive has a dip that I cross diagnally. When the left rear and right front are on the top edges of the dip, I hear a creak...

    Upgrade sway bars?

    Great, I'm glad to hear that. I'm goin' with the Progress Tech bar. The more I drive the Mazda3, the more I think it needs a little more body roll control. Appreciate your comments.

    Upgrade sway bars?

    Who's installed aftermarket anti-roll bars? How do you like them? I saw some from Progressive Technology, but wondered what the ride comfort compromise is. SR Racing has what appear to be universal fit sway bars, but that really makes me nervous. Taking an Interstate exchange loop had the...
