    I love my Mazda3 Touring 2018. the potholes on these highways are hell and I’m headed to an early front suspension problem. I’ve been toying with the idea of upgrading the spring / shocks and or wheels so that it can handle the 2023 highway neglect. Any and all appreciated I’m not a...

    The AC just went out on my 2006 Mazda3. Hot air coming out of vents when off. AC repair place diagnosed it with 2 major leaks: 2 hoses leaking and compressor. $1600 to repair.. he was very aggressive in making me decide within 20 minutes, but the place was recommended. Am I getting ripped off or...

    I started my car journey in a 2005 Mazda3 hatchback, sunlight silver. Tried a CL9 Honda Accord and a BMW E90, both of which were amazing, but now life has me moving back to Mazda, with my new (to me) 2014 Mazda3! The car needs some work in the bodywork department but works flawlessly...

    Hi, I noticed something wrong with the brake pedal. First, I felt a long braking distance when I used the brake pedal more frequently (i.e. traffic jam), brake pedal stiffness when I pressed the brake (before the brake switch), and the brake pedal was a bit tall. The issue is intermittent and...

    Hi, I hope this is the right place for this post. I have some sort of weird electrical issues with the car, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Early in the morning, I started my Mazda3 2012 Sedan 2.0L, and everything went as perfect as usual. Then, I arrived to the place I...

  10. Mazda3 (Axela)
    I just bought a 2011 Mazda 3 GT Sport manual transmission, and I love it. However, as soon as I had safety done I was driving home and the engine light came on. I checked with my scanner and it said that it was a P0101 MAF sensor error, so for a week I was driving, but the symptoms weren't...

    Hi, my son's 2015 Mazda 3 Grand Touring hatchback was stored outside in California (Palo Alto so not severe temp swings) for the last 18 months and he just had it shipped back east.
