    Possibility of Skyactiv-D in 2014 / 2015 Mazda3?

    Love the looks and features of the 2014 Mazda3. When asked about a diesel possibility, Mazda USA reps did not outright deny it, or say it couldn't happen. They basically said, "Let's see how well it sells in the 6." I don't know about you guys, but I'd 100 times rather buy a 3 with a diesel than...

    17" OEM Wheels - Ontario, Canada

    Would like to spruce up my 2003 P5 with something a little bit bigger than the 16" stock rims.

    Stock 2010 Mazda 3 speaker buzz

    So I have a stock 2010 Mazda 3 and I'm having some speaker buzz problems. At first I thought it was just a blown speaker but sometimes the sound sounds 100% clear and other times it is all garbled. I think it might have something to do with the windows, maybe a short somewhere or something. More...

    Selecting rims for 2012 Mazda3

    Hello, Winter is upon us (at least in Canada it is) and I would like to get a set of steel rims for my newly bought 2012 Mazda3. My question is: For optimal fit (hub-centric, etc.), will any Original 16" Mazda rims do or should I only use specific ones? Also, are there non-Mazda rims that are...

    Motor 'chirp' while fans are on? mz3

    First post here on the forums, haven't found anything regarding this issue anywhere at all, so I'm writing you all an essay. I own a 2010 3, and I've had this issue basically since I owned the car. The dealership couldn't recreate it, so they had no idea what I was talking about or what to do...
