    problem changing gears....

    It is from another board (the link below), I couldn't find it elsewhere. How come Mazda US, Mazda Canada don't make them public on their websites?? After all, these things are pretty important.... http://www.mazda3club.com/showthread.php?t=41882

    problem changing gears....

    Hello everybody, I have a 2005 Mazda3Sport, auto, with 9,000km on it and it seems there is a problem when switching from 1st to second gear. When the engine is cold there is a small forward jerk movement as it switches from first to second. It happens two or three times when I go from...

    Winter Wheels - 16s on a 3s

    I went for the X-Ice (best pricing I could find). If your driving is mostly city I don't think Q-rating should be a problem. They're ok for the highway as well, unless you plan to speed as a maniac. If you want better performance on dry (at the expense of slightly less on snow and ice) go for a...

    Winter Wheels - 16s on a 3s

    Thanks for the link. I was wondering if the Q rating is going to be a problem for these tires on dry roads. For example, how would they behave if you drive 130km/h on a dry highway, will they wear pretty fast? Is it worth to upgrade to a H or V rated winter tires? And conversly, do the H and...

    Winter Wheels - 16s on a 3s

    If you're in Edmonton, try Weber Motors, they have 16" steel rims and X-Ice for $1025CAD, everything included. There are no other options for the tire however. I would have preffered Alpine or Blizzak but they don't have them. Any opinions on how good X-Ice are? Is it worth the upgrade to...

    2005 Mazda3 deals?

    That's a little below 21,400USD. I don't really know how to haggle with those sales devils, some say I could have negotiated even lower, specially that it is a 2005 model. In any case, the rate is nice, the car is even nicer. The 2006 model will come probably with 4.9% and not many rebates...

    Wheel size vs. performance

    Hello everyone, I am about to purcase a Mazda5 Sport GT. Initially I was in the market for the GS model but due to stock shortages I ended up signing for a GT. The GS comes with 205/55/R16 while the GT with 205/50/R17. Besides the slightly cooler look what do the 17" inch rims with the...
