I hope this is the right form. My battery died and I decided to splurge on an Optima, but then save by getting it mail-order and installing it myself. Well, this was no sweat until I find that the new battery (correct size class, 35) is about an inch and a quarter less in height. So the plastic...

I don't know which section this question belongs in, so I am putting it here. I have a '07 Mazda3 S Touring. Our garage is approached through the alley. We have had a good bit of snow lately, and part of the alley has an upward slope, but my wife has no problem in her Honda Civic. The Mazda3...

I didn't want most of the things in the Grand Touring package, so I got an '07 s Touring. Now I'm wondering if I could add one or two things a la carte. Any reasonable DIY way to add automatic headlights?

Continuing my naive questions... My '07 Mazda3 S Touring is getting a lot of mud streaks on its body from the wheels. (My garage is accessed via an unpaved alley.) Why are no mudguards available for this model (only for i), and does this have anything to do with "side sill extensions"? What...

I haven't owned a new car since 1992 and there's some newfangled modern conveniences I don't quite understand. What is the purpose of the shaded area on the windshield behind the rearview mirror? This is the dark area made up of little black dots or maybe a black mesh. Is it to shade the area...

I'm really embarrassed to ask this question, but my previous car was old enough that the engine compartment of my new Mazda3 is completely mysterious to me. It looks more like a car trunk (carrying a bunch of boxes). Anyway I bought a K&N filter but I can't for the life of me find where it...

1992 Protege, MANUAL TRANS. $2100. Very low mileage (61,000)---if checking Kelly Blue Book, don't forget to enter this mileage and also the trim level (LX---which means AC and power everything). Garage-kept, one owner, no rust, never in accident. Some small paint chips and scratches, no dents...

I want to be able to play MP3 CDs, buy I don't need a changer. Can I swap out my 2007 OEM stereo with this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LKQ-2006-Mazda3-Factory-Radio-w-CD-MP3-Player_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43947QQihZ009QQitemZ190040146790QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW If I understand...

Has anyone seen or bought a Phantom Purple Mazda3 (new for 2007, I think). It looks like it could be different while still a fairly dark, sensible color (although not as sensible as black or grey). There are none in stock in my area. Photos and comments appreciated.

I just ordered a 2007 Mazda3. Now my music needs are satisfied by one CD-full of MP3 files, which I just leave permanently in my current car's CD player. My upgrade to a brand new car apparently will downgrade me to playing standard audio CDs only. My dealer says I will need to get a $500 6-CD...
