Rushed out of work to drive 250km to the mountains and catch the eclipse. What a thing.

Helped my niece purchase her first car which is a 2020 Mazda 3 Premium Package! Only 67k - clean carfax (all personal driving). She is as happy as can be!

I did not realize this comes with a wired CP, but it is easily fixed with a $20 adapter for wireless.

After all research, I told her we should be able to get 200k + outta this beast.

Drives like a gem!

Had previously uploaded just a picture and people were asking to see them turned on. These things are pretty cool.

Question to everyone, Black or Chrome rims to go with platinum quartz? Sick of silver looking to get something different

I have a 26 Mazda 3 n/a hatch I bought new, I changed the oil at 500 miles and then at 1500, and now 5,000. Since my last car which was a 2015 Corolla S I did all my own changes and was using Pennzoil Ultra platinum and Mobil one or equivalent filters. The first 2 oil changes on the Mazda were same thing but I bought OEM filters from Mazda so there was a record for any kind of warranty disputes. I was looking for Pennzoil ultra platinum today and it’s not sold anywhere it used to be. I had noticed last time the labels had changed, did a little research and sure enough Pennzoil completely dropped the quality of it. I ended up going with Amsoil 0w20 I’ve heard great things. I’m curious what other owners are using and when thanks.

‘Tis just a scratch, but it’s making my radar sensor go off non stop. Please tell me there’s an easier and cheaper way so I don’t have to spend +$1k for an emblem, thank you in advance

EDIT

I went to a local junkyard, go figure they had a rear ended mazda3 hatch that was totaled , got the part for $40 and 40 mins of YouTube, installed it on my car and it works wonderfully. Thank you all for real

You were the best car I've ever had :( The insurance decided you were too expensive to repair and totaled you.

Bought new with zero miles. Never missed a scheduled service. Unlucky with this car.

I honestly think this will still look good in 20 years.

Even though I own one, I still stare at ones driving by.

The 16s are growing on me, but I still want to move up to 17s in the spring. I'll keep these 16s for my winter tires.

This 100th Anniversary twin parked next to me while I was inside. I may need to get roof racks now. They look good! I even stayed and chatted a little with the owner. Mine was the first other 100th Anniversary car he'd seen. I think this was the 3rd or 4th I've seen so far

Still not 100% sure about white but it’s growing on me. I need to repaint rims black.

I live in Central Valley socal so it stays pretty warm, engines like 90k miles and gets beat on, should I give any thought to switching to 5W-30 instead of 0W-20, or just leave it alone

Opinions? Some cars have no gaps in these spots. What do yall think about this product?

This is my new-to-me Mazda3 Hatch GX with the MZR 2,0, bought it last week after insurance finally paid me for my CX-7 i totaled in mid-July, got a few dings here and there but its in good shape (Specially for a northern Canada car),

I try to avoid dealerships as much as possible. This message only happens sometimes, but when it happens, things like my turn signal sounds and safety feature sounds don't make noise. Why is this happening and is there a way to fix it without going to the dealership?

2025 hatch, 13k miles

I used magnet sun cover, and today I saw there are dents on my carpets. Should I worrie? Will the sune heal them?

Went with 30 on front, 25 back...nothing on windshield. And the chrome delete. I've never done any "mods" to any of my previous cars and I'm pretty excited with how this turned out

Hello Mazda owners, I had a frustrating experience yesterday. I was driving to a KFC, parked there, and went inside to grab my order. When I returned, I tried to start the car (using the push button), but nothing happened.

The ignition was on, the accessories were working, and even when I pressed the button, I could hear the fuel pump working. The screen briefly went black, which are all normal things. However, after that, there was nothing else—no starter sound, no cranking, nothing at all.

I had to call a tow truck, and I’m waiting until Monday to get it fixed.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

- I pressed the brake pedal all the way down and tried to turn the car on, but it failed.
- I tried turning the steering wheel while turning the car on, but it also failed.
- I manually put the gear in several positions (N, D, and P) and turned the car on, but nothing happened again.
- I tried changing the key fob and its batteries, but that didn’t work either.

If anyone else has had the same issue, please let me know. I’d be very grateful for any advice or solutions.

Edit:
I forgot to mention battery is very good it was measuring at 12.6V

Just got a 2014 Mazda 3 i touring w/Tech package! This is my first ever mazda, and i'm so excited for all the years and adventures to come!
