Official 2010+ Mazda3 Rollcall
- Thread starter GoFast
- Start date
Got my new Mazda3 a couple of weeks back - gunmetal blue, Bose, 6-speed, moonroof, grand touring
After 1100 miles:
Good points - looks, suspension, those swiveling Xenons at night
Bad points - gutless at low rpms, slow tip-in on throttle, DSC comes on too soon for regular spirited driving (gotta keep it turned off most of the time), 6th a bit hard to get into, spring for 5th/6th gate a smidgen too strong (gets hung on gate from 5/6 easily).
Wanna: recalibrate throttle tip-in, boost low-end torque.

Can anybody comment on the seat quality? Also, how do you find the headlights? (non-xenon models, because obviously the HIDs kick ass) I'm curious because as a Protege owner, my car has some of the nicest headlights I've ever experience on a car.
Car looks great wingzero, although if possible, I do have a couple of requests.
I had read somewhere that some Mazda3's have blue lights under the dash. If yours has this, could you try to post pics?
Also a pic of the grill (smile) and the main center A/C controls/radio/cd player area would be much appreciated if possible. Thanks so much, and that car shines like no other!!

As for the ***** lights, I will try to get a pick later on. It's too bright here atm (1pm). In case anyone notices, the difference in license plates is a funny story. The government messed up and printed three of the same, so in my package I got two different ones. The dealer didn't notice putting them on, and I didn't notice until the next day. It being a new car and all I was focused on that.
Hicks call the ambient lighting on the floor "***** lights". I am at work and don't have a camera so I will have to get that pic later on.
Yeah the blue is nice, and the gauges turn blue/red at night so it mixes in.
Roll call.

I have a 2010 Mazda3, Black, 2.0L iTouring, 5spd manual transmission.

I really enjoy the way it handles, the fuel economy, the aesthetics, and the peppy engine (well compared to other cars I was driving).
First time Mazda owner and I am looking forward to years of driving enjoyment.

Nice car, I miss my old 04 White HB, makes me want to get a new one.
You should really wear some socks with those flip\flops, it would make for an awesome effect. They do look comfy though.
