Since I have had my 2014 Mazda3 Sport GS for about 18 months now, I guess it's about time I post about it on here. In the past 18 months I have driven 42,000Kms (That's about 26,000 miles for you Americans). It has been a good car so far, with only a few minor complaints. The mileage over the last 3 months has been 7.7L/100km (34mpg) with the roof rack & either the bike rack or ski box on, which is pretty decent considering the extra drag they create. The road noise is a little on the high side as well, but my studded tires and roof rack add to that, prior to installing those it wasn't too bad. I have not needed any repairs except for minor body work from a hit & run (popped out a large dent and buffed out some paint scratches).
As far as mods go, haven't really done anything yet. Installed the roof rack, Installed a satellite radio and a dash cam beside the rear-view mirror, and installed a cell-booster and mounted the internal antenna in the headliner just behind the sun-glass holder which improves the signal in the low reception areas quite a bit. Today I also installed some brighter headlight bulbs in the hi-beams some Sylvania ZXE bulbs, gonna put the low beams in tomorrow.
My to-do list includes:
Installing LED fog lights (currently have no fog lights)
and some high power LED driving lights designed to turn on with my hi-beams.
CAI or Short Ram Intake
Hood Struts
Underhood lighting
Upgrading all interior lights to LEDs
Possibly an exhaust upgrade but I'm not sure, there's already enough noise from other things right now
First day home!
Thats my 3 in the summer ready for a bike trip.
And there she is lookin a little dirty waiting to head out to the Rockies for a ski trip on Sunday
