Thanks Can I reset that myself or do I need to visit the dealer? If I can reset it myself, how can I do that.

I just wanted to confirm... but an orange wrench icon went on on my 2014 Mazda 3 GT. I do believe this is due scheduled maintenance? I procrastinated a bit and forgot to change the oil at 11k, so I doubt is an engine problem. Also ... if I bring the car to a different place that is not the...

Interesting. Thanks for reply.

Yeah, I noticed that about the 3. Not many good places for that. I'm thinking about attaching a pocket holster to the lower right or my right leg, which is the left side of the center console. But I don't want to make any holes there. Maybe using some 3M product? Saw a similar solution...

Yes, the audio system is fantastic! I would say is as good as the one I had on my Speed6. Bass are deep and treble clear and crisp. It doesn't distort even at high volume. I like that even though most system give you mp3, you can also play a regular CD, and an iPod or any other USB device as...

25 mpg, 80% city traffic! aggressive driving ;-) I'm extremely pleased with this car and it's still in break-in period.

Has anyone installed or can recommend me a 2014 Mazda 3 friendly safe box for a handgun? Something that can hide the weapon in a secure manner. For instance, an under dashboard type of box? By the way, I live in Texas, in case someone wonders or to avoid some confusion. So it's perfectly legal...

Keep the Miata. I was in a similar situation few weeks ago. The Miata is my wife's, but I love that car. I was disappointed with my previous car, which I bought just few months ago. We talked about selling the Miata, which is not even MT, but we changed our mind. I sold mine instead. Unless...

If you are one of those who sell the cars every other year , don't buy the Mazda. I've read reviewers that are saying that the new Mazda's will depreciate less than previous models, due the new design and amenities, but the truth of the matter is that Mazda's loss value really quickly. I mean, I...

Yeah, like rvoll said, changed it to sport mode and you'll see the difference. This car can achieve 0 to 60 in a bit under 7s which is impressive for 180HP. I found myself that sport mode pretty much keeps rev at 3k and doesn't shift as fast as regular mode, giving more torque and acceleration...

Indeed! My previous car, a Hyundai Veloster Turbo, only achieved mid 7s and it has a 200HP engine. It is still impressive how Mazda was able to design a car like this without sacrificing fuel economy and handling.

Every forum I'm subscribed to, I see this post, again and again :-) The truth is, a car will run smoother and better with whatever type of gas it was designed to. And the 2014 Mazda3 was not designed for high octane or premium gas. Using higher octane won't break anything, but won't improve...

So ... I set notifications to on. Now the text messages option is not grayed out anymore. But when I select that option , I see no messages. Even though I have quite a few on my iPhone. Does the Mazda's Infotainment only shows recent and new messages only?

Thanks! I'll try that soon. Had same question. In terms of iPod integration, my iPod nano stopped playing music the other day. My wife was with me at the time and she had to unplug it to make it work. But two days passed after that issue and it is working fine so far. I only have one week with...

Wasn't that the same engine we had on the Speed6? I had that car for 7 years , few recalls but never a problem. It was a great car. I sold it and still was running great.
