    Mazda 3 2011 Radar Detector?

    so you travel from STATE to STATE and are also on the Autobahn? And your transmission disconnects at 120mph... Scary. Cars are electronically limited... your car is still in gear and hasn't disconnected anything. You may also get more help in the standard Mazda 3 forum... our cars go far...

    these aren't dash kits, they are direct replacement units designed specifically for the Mazda 3 or MS3. They were purchased from caradvanced.com but you can also find them on ebay

    How many miles on empty warning light

    wow, that's pretty bad. I usually fill up between 11-12 gallons on empty... so 240 miles is only around 20 mpg... which blows for this car. You must have a serious lead foot...

    MS3 Jump

    I like how all the comments got removed that were not positive. What a tool. Probably will end up in a wreck, or back at Mazda for warranty work because of this crap.

    How do you get 30mpg or better with the MZR DISI?

    I have done a lot of attempts to get high MPG in the MS3 and have achieved 37mpg on the MS3 computer. Real world numbers, calculated at tank fill-ups, have been as high as 33. All this has been around town though, with lots of opportunities to coast. On the highway though, it's easy to get an...

    Wiper blade question for my 07 MS3

    those are good. I like the spine-less wipers. They will take you all of 30 seconds to swap, very simple.

    09 Speed 3 Blown Trans/clutch 20k miles dealer refuses to fix.

    Time to lawyer up I think. The intake itself has it's own warranty, the 1 year warranty is not for the car, it's for the part. If that is the only person you can speak with and are out of options then it's time to get an attorney and he will get all the legal warranty documents and fight your...

    08 MS3 Headlight went out

    Seriously. Guy can't take a joke when his original post was Your headlight went out and you asked if anyone had experienced that before... I am sure people are really helpful when the extent of your explanation is that your headlight went out. Surely you know how common this can be but...

    08 MS3 Headlight went out

    I am fairly certain you are the only person who has ever had a headlight bulb go out. I have never heard of such a failure and often wondered why even walmart carries bulbs.

    re-setting tire pressure sensors on new wheels

    slightly wrong forum, but no... nothing special is required. If the sensors are functioning, and your tire pressure is correct, then the light will simply go off after driving with the new wheels/tires/sensors... Generally it takes between 3-10 miles in my experience, so a quick trip to the...

    I want these wheels

    Those are sick! not really. Perhaps you can also get some bullet-hole stickers, fake vents, and a stick-on hood scoop. Then put your name on the back window in calligraphy

    Does you car tell you when to change the oil?

    it's a turbo motor, your reliability has to do with many more factors than oil. 3K miles is still too short, have an oil analysis done for 25 bucks, you will see for yourself that 3K is simply wasting money.
