[scmazda1]

Wingzero, I noticed the NB plates, where are you from, Im writing from Dieppe, just curious, because we have pretty much the same car

[GoFast]

that looks fantastic wingzero! congrats!

[wingzero_]

Thanks guys.

And scmazda1, I'm in Fredericton

[mcharet2]

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.

[maskedSONY]

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.

[wingzero_]

I have the premium cloth, they are nice heavy materail, very comfortable and form fitting. I give them an 8/10

[ViPeR689]

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!!

[wingzero_]

As for the whore 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.

[ViPeR689]

LOL whore lights... Thanks for the pics bro. Car is clean as all hell and the smile is barely recognizable on dark colors. Do you like the blue light strip in the audio controls considering everything else is red??

[wingzero_]

Hicks call the ambient lighting on the floor "whore 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.

[ViPeR689]

Whenever you get around to it. No rush...

[graviongr]

I am from Saint Louis, Missouri, USA.

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. :)

Congrats on the purchase, nice color choice.

No....Very new to this forum and I didn't know they would segregate us. Are we outcasts? Geesh, not everybody is corrupt from IL. lol

lol not outcasts. Its jsut a nice way to see the local mazda happenings and for the most part some pretty good people

[Latka]

Thank you for info, it is good to know!

[fam]

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.

ha! the old socks with sandles look. timeless...

As I get older, and as my hair keeps falling out the "I-don't-give-a-crap-o-meter" gets stuck on high (about my looks). Thanks for the laugh though. I think if I put on socks then I will have to pull my shorts up past my belly button. That would complete the look!

[GoFast]

I have noticed that same phenomenon myself and personally am a big fan of that look

[Latka]

Lol

[fam]

Yeah I got called out having socks on under some adidas flip flops when I moved up from Ky to OH. I had to stop. Damn peer pressure, but atleast you have a new 3.

My wife would give me too much crap as well. I guess these people keep us in line. Who knows what I would be wearing if I didn't get the critisism.

Hello everyone!

I am new to this site.

I just picked up my new 2010 Mazda 3 Sport today!! (cabpatch)

I got the Liquid Silver with black interior, sunroof, Bose/6-disc changer. I love it and have gotten alot of compliments.

I love the bluetooth, although I don't understand, do you not hear the person's voice tag on an incoming call? You have to know the person's number by heart in order to tell who is calling????

I'll post a few photos soon.

[Ricolando]

No it's a park in Clearwater I forgot the name of it.

[mde8965]

It has both the Moonroof/Bose and the Tech Packages. And...its an auto (foot problem). So far I have tinted the windows (Llumar 15% all around), wheel locks, cargo tray, rear bumper protectors and all weather floor mats.

Future mods will include Lumin-x overlays for the fogs (yellow) and headlights (Probably clear), window rain guards (or whatever they are called) installation of my Infinity Basslink II, speaker upgrade with Infinity Kappas, horn upgrade, 18" wheels (way down the line - leaning towards RX-8 wheels). I have no plans to lower the car or do any engine mods...

Let me know what you think...and if you have any opinions on the color of the overlays I should go with...

I'm not sure about out of stock but I'm positive that they've released them because my 2010 s-Sport has them. 2 on drivers and passenger feet, 2 on driver's door handle and passengers door handle, and one in the middle on top

The front two windows are illegal. California allows as low as 35 for the front windows but in my area, the cops don't care as long as they can see the driver.

Rollin' in here with a 2010 Liquid Silver MS3 that I just picked up tonight! I live in the Wexford/Pittsburgh, PA area so if anyone sees me riding around give me a wave. I believe I'm the first in the Wexford area to have a new Speed3. Traded in my dream car, '06 G35 coupe 6 spd but had to for some practical/personal life reasons and I think the MS3 will make up quite nicely. I'll have some pics up soon!

Answering your call for owners of 2010 Mazda 3s -- mine is a charcoal hatchback bought on June 3 and today showed 1720 miles. Traded in a 2006 3s hatchback. New one is a much better performer, owing it seems to me, to the 2.5L engine and a more assertive shift pattern for the automatic tranny. It certainly does better in urban and suburban driving, while retaining the excellent handling of the earlier generation. The EPA 1mpg gain in highway mileage seems to come from a taller top gear (anybody have stats on that?).
May I also ask if anyone has info on a roof rack for the 2010 hatchback?

Not really digging the stock wheels but I'm sure someone will grab some sick ones soon.

Im looking at tossing some black rims on it but am debating on lowering it then getting rims that will fit the wheel wells, or do i just buy a bigger rim from the start with no lowering..... Suggestions?

Only Canada has white ones for 2010, so that could be the reason there aren't as many. Here's a thread (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123750511&highlight=canada+toronto+white+mazdapseed3) with some pics.

Loving it so far. The smile doesn't bother me anymore. This is my first Mazda and I think I'm a convert. Unless they start making junk, I'll drive Mazdas from now on :)
On the rear bumper, black out the lower valence. It'll look better.

[Derrick_B]

Yeah, I'm already working with my local sign shop. It's funny because a lot of promotional photos showed the lower valance blacked out, especially on the MS3's. I guess this was another one of their cost-cutting measures.

[Hank3]

IIRC, the ones with the rear valence blacked out were the Eurospec MPS models.

Hello all...
Noob here... Traded in my 8 and picked up a white 2010 speed3
And glad I did....

Now the mods start... The horn is so very sad... Which did you guys put in it?
Also...any one mod the BOV yet?
I'm having a hard time deciding which to use, so far it looks like Forge bpv is looking like the way to go. I would appreciate some input here....as well as a CAI suggestion.
Cheers,
Greg

[shook02]

i went with turbosmart bypass valve. and i dont believe any CAI's will fit from GEN1..... i think u need to go with an SRI of some kind or wait for one to come out for our 10's

Picked up mine Saturday. Mazda3 sport 5 door. Velocity Red, 6 speed, Bose/sunroof. I'll post some pics after our weekend road trip to South Carolina. Gotta see how trip mileage looks.

[MSP1524]

Picked up my MS3 last Saturday. Came down with the flu that night so it sat in my garage for a week before I drove it again(sad2).Its Celestial Blue Mica with the Tech Package. Quick question? When I got home that night from picking up the car and looked in my glove box I found my oil filler cap. I immediately opened the hood thinking those idiots forgot to place this on my car only to fined a nice billet alum red mazdaspeed cap in it's place. Is this a standard item on 2010 MS3's? Didn't see it listed anywhere on the orig sticker.

[Vater]

Yes, I think it ships with the stock plastic cap on the car, but the aluminum cap comes standard and is dealer-installed. They put my plastic cap in the glove box as well.

Congrats! Pics?

Picked up mine Saturday. Mazda3 sport 5 door. Velocity Red, 6 speed, Bose/sunroof. I'll post some pics after our weekend road trip to South Carolina. Gotta see how trip mileage looks.

We got back from SC yesterday evening. About 500 miles round trip. On the return leg we noted average speed 70 mph, 27.8 mpg. This was mainly interstate, with no chance to tackle the twisties without going far out of the way. At 78 mph on what as far as I could tell was a level stretch we could get about 30 mpg, at 60 on a long level stretch it showed 34.8 mpg for 5 minutes or so. Not too shabby.

Those Yokohama tires do seem loud. Any thoughts from y'all? The wind noise is low, I guess that .30 drag figure is not BS. A couple of random thoughts for Mazda: lose the mirror turn signal repeaters and give us defrost on the side mirrors! Obviously, MORE HORN!! With all the sensors all over the engine and everywhere, how about temperature, oil pressure (oil temperature??) and ammeter/voltmeter readouts in the info screen? Bar graphs would do nicely and could be another setting on the info button. All too many oil pressure indicators don't light up until pressure is REALLY LOW; I like to know that the engine temp is at least "off the peg" before I get on it. Could this even be merely a software update??? Inquiring minds want to know!

BTW, I can't find in the owner's manual the curb weight, i.e. without passengers or cargo. Am I just missing it?

Regardless, the "MazdaBall" is a lot of fun to drive. I need to wash it before I post some pix.

[MS3chriSS]

I picked up a 2010 MS3 Black mica last Monday. Ive been lurking around the forum for a week now but finally found the time to post. As for the car, I love it! I'm coming from a long line of Chevy muscle cars which include 5 camaro SS's and an 01 z06 corvette, the last car being the Vett. I had a tremendous love hate relationship with the z06 due to the daily "drivability" factor, the car was so damn low and fragile that I was afraid to take it anywhere which made the MS3 an obvious choice when it came to purchasing a new car. I love the fact that I can drive this car anywhere at anytime and still have performance to keep me interested. The MS3 has far surpassed my expectations in terms of handling, this car truly sticks! As for power Im not as enthusiastic but am satisfied, I'm sure with the addition of intake, downpipe, exhaust, etc the car will be a monster. I look forward to posting up pics soon since I recently had the windows tinted 20%, blacked out the wheels, and had painted the calipers!

Thanks!

Picked up my speed in September, wanted red with tech package and at the time only two were available in a 500 mile radius. Had to travel 400 miles to pick-up, but the drive back was worth it.

[DailyDriver]

...Test fitting winter wheels/tires...

Nice!

Talk to us about your winter tire experiences. Whaddya got? What is working? What tires / rims are in the pic? (They look nice)

Also, talk to us a bit about your roof rack set-up. I just installed the factory Mazda roof rack on my car, but have not added any attachments / accessories yet. Looks like you have some stuff attached to your rack. What do you have and how to you like? (I'm thinking of getting the small "basket" thing that goes on the rack etc so I can carry my big jogging stroller and/or tricycle, etc)... any notes / thoughts?

[Cannondale]

What tires / rims are in the pic?

I'm running 205/50R17 Conti ExtremeWinterContact tires on 17x7 Borbet LV5 anthracite rims from TireRack. I love the way they look. Since I live in Maryland, I probably won't need to install them for another few weeks, but I'll report on how they work later.

Also, talk to us a bit about your roof rack set-up.

I've got an old Thule rack w/ two fork mount bike trays and one Sidearm upright tray. The fork mount trays are a pain, but they're so ancient, I doubt Thule even makes them any more. On the other hand, the Sidearm is awesome. Super convenient and fast to load up. Since you have a rack, I assume you know about the "fixpoint" mounting, which is very clean and secure. I don't have a wire rack, so I can't say how much stuff you can get in one, but I can see how that would be useful.

Yes, the stock Yokohama's are terribly loud. I switched to S-Drive's and it was a lot better. The Horn is easy to fix. Add a Fiamm low-tone horn. It's the first mod I did. If you have a GT, you have side mirror defrosters already. If you want more gauges, get a DashHawk or ScanGaugeII. When your coolant temp gets high, the warning light will illuminate amber. When it's really high, I believe it changes to red. The curb weight is available online. It's around 3050 for the 3s (depending on the transmission) and 3250 for the MS3.
