When did you buy your 3 and .....
- Thread starter Mikey444
- Start date
I will start buy putting in my own input:
The stock tires are s***, loud and wear out too fast, 11 000 km's on my car and I am already looking into michelin Alpin Pilot A/S.
Glovebox clip broke - Replaced
Faulty air bag sensors - needed replacement
Defect in fuel pump - needed replacement
Glovebox does not close properly - will b**** about that Monday
Front brake calipers are all rusted, I dont even see that on a 3 year old hyundai - something I will b**** about to Mazda
Front rotors are grooved and rusted in grooves - something I will also b**** about to Mazda
The Air Conditioner is a piece of s*** - wont stop bitching about that for the rest of the summer
Overall, this is a first year car and problems are to be expected, I still love the car and dont regret buying it. I would still recomend this car to anyone that wants a fun car and an awesome ride for the price.
My car was driven off the lot December 9th 2003 and has between 11 000-12 000 kilometers on it

i bought mine in january, i have ~7000 miles on it... its a silver 3s
1. noticed "slight" grooving on rear rotors, not nearly as bad as other members... actually, im not concerned at all about it considering they should hold until someone hooks it up with better rotors and what not... i guess im luckier than most people
2. only thing ive done is replace the oil twice, taken off the resonator... no other problems ecept,
3. the damn car never wants to stay clean
mikey444, ive think youve just got bad karma or something man, youre laundry list of problems are just sad... i kinda feel bad that my car is damn near flawless so far... knock on wood
the a/c is a little annoying, but my civic was the same way... tint the windows maybe

1200 miles on mine so far and it's about 2 months old. no problems to report here. no paint chips, no air bag sensor problems, no rust, no fuel pump problems...
i'll keep you posted if anything happens though! (please God, don't let anything happen to my car!!!!)

Me it's all with the front rotors and calipers, the rear is awesome looking, the condition is great.
I thank you all for your input.
And I do keep the maintenance and all cars very tight, everything that needs routine lub/replacement is done with no delay.
Just for those wondering, the problem I noticed with my fuel pump is that it did not give the engine enough gas on startup. which is bad for the starter cause you had to run it like twice for quite a few seconds, in low speeds too, the car would not get enough gas and it would drag behind. When you turn off the vehicle, it those not cut off on comand like it should. The dealer checked the fuel pump and it was defective, it took them 2 weeks to get a new one

(rlaugh) haha, forreal. ive had mine since the 1st of march and ive got 10,700 miles on it. the only problem i noticed that bothered me is the rear brake dust, i hate having dirty rims but i would have to wipe them off every time i drove somewhere. i also got my airbag sensor replaced. other then that i love the car.
Wow!
I bought mine 3/5/04 and now have 1877 on it and I drive it every day. I just live where everything is within 10 miles. My friend is the sales manger @ my local dealership and we talked last night. He said the only thing Mazda is recognizing is the airbag sensor problem. His thought was if the problem continues to grow that MazdaUSA may issue a recall, his words not mine.mazda3zoom said:

hello, I purchaced mine in April and have 2400 miles on it. Great little car so far and I'm glad I purchaced it. I do notice the rear brake dust problem, and my passengers side front window makes a poping sound when its risen just as it closes. The A/C is pretty week, you have to have it one level 3 when the temp rises over 90....
other than that so far so good!
I'll definatly keep everyone informed, please do the same....
peace!
