    As an Albertan, I regret buying the Mazda 3.

    In Edmonton, let's face it the winters suck hardcore. This is one of the worst ones yet for cold and snow. The heater/defroster in the Mazda 3 is, in my opinion, totally inadequate for this climate. Today on my 30 minute drive home from work - with fresh air set, and defrost and max fan power...

    Just found out I get some goodies with my car!

    I just found out that I get 90 days no payments on my Mazda 3, a free Xbox, 3 free games and 2 months of Xbox Live for it! I bought the car before knowing about the promo, so this is icing on the cake!

    Good "car mechanical help" forum out there?

    Hi guys I used to have a bookmark to a great place for general car mechanical questions (sorta like an "ask the mechanic" forum. But I lost it.

There's a...

    That Knight-Rider line on the radio

    Hi guys, The Canadian site mentions this "Choice between three interior trim packages each with distinct character are offered, allowing customers to select the style that matches their taste." Do any of them do away with that red line on the dash stereo console? I think it's some sort of...

    Mazda quality/reliability vs Toyota?

    Hi folks! In the past few years I had sworn eternal loyalty to Toyota. For 7 years I've been driving an exceptionally uncool 1996 Toyota Paseo (dont laugh). The reliability of this vehicle has been stellar. I have barely spent more than 1000 dollars Canadian in maintenance (and that includes a...
