While I know this is old thread I was able to fit my 2011 3S with a Group 24F battery in stead of the standard Group 35.

It is important for you to keep detailed records of all service done either by yourself or independant parties. It is also wise to make copies of any sales receipts from autozone, walmart, advanced auto parts if your doing your own work since many receipts will fade over time. This will save...

We have been using Liqui Moly MOS2 Anti-Friction Oil Treatment in our cars along with their Valve clean. Works fine and no issues my wife is the high mileage driver with over 220,000 miles on each of her cars. I will continue using it in my cars with DI engines. So yes I'm a preventative...

How are you fixed for cash? Are you spending $80.00 a month for a cell phone but cheaping out on tires? I'm glad I went with the Michelin Pilot Sports AS3 in 225/45/17 for my 2011 Mazda3 S. So much better than the OEM tires that came on the car. I also am familiar with the Conti Pure...

I'm impatiently waiting for the Diesel Mazda6 to come in this spring but may melt and get the 3 if the 2.5L manual gets here before the 6 arrives. Its a race will see which one reaches No VA 1st. hmmm

I'm slowly getting it together for a pair of snow tires. Just got the rims and TPMS and next payday I'll get the Nitto NT-SN2 in 205/55/16. Currently running the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 and really enjoying them. The conti;s DSW were also on my short list. If I bought the DSW conti's I'd run...

you could wait for the 2dr sedan hatchback to come out in 2015. like a mini mazda6 hatchback.

When you go to replace the 08's tires pickup some Michelin Pilot Sport AS3

I'd put off that purchase till the 2017 Hybrid comes out with the update interior and enhanced color choices of dirt poor and poverty stricken at 40K.

I'd call around to the various Mazda Dealerships in your area and see what they say. Then call Mazda USA corporate and see what they say. Sounds like someone does not want to take the time to find out the correct answer for you. Just plain lame excuse for helpful service. You might also ask...

Most likely when they inspect the front brake pads they will need replacing. It would be rare for the rear brake pads to wear out first on a 2010 Mazda3. I've a 2011 Mazda3 S 2.5L and the fronts are wearing and the rears are not nearly worn. Your local Angie's list will point to a good...
