    New Mazda3 S GT owner from Nashville, TN

    Hi Della1234, I'm not sure if you're question was to the OP or me, or maybe both, but I'll respond anyway. I purchased my 2014 Mazda 3i hatch from Nelson Mazda in Antioch. To be honest, I did not shop around for the best price. My purchase was sort of a spur of the moment thing. I'd been driving...

    2014 Mazda 3 seats - a pain in the ribs.

    After stitching 3 different versions of back support pillows I finally determined what I needed in order to push my body forward, out of the "well" made by the side bolsters. Even after this though, I was still frustrated because the pillow was always moving around as I drove. So, earlier this...

    Looks like your rear spoiler is larger than stock. Where did you get it?

    Polarized glasses and Mazda 3 dash don't play well together

    I'm not looking for an answer to this problem because I know what it will be -- the same one in the joke, "Hey Doc, it always hurts when I do this..." I'm just documenting the strangeness. So anyway, apparently the 2014 Mazda instrument panel has a polarized cover to reduce glare. Unfortunately...

    New Mazda3 S GT owner from Nashville, TN

    Hey there RieBauer17! I'm another Nashville, 2014 M3 owner -- strangely enough, also from Ohio -- Cleveland to be specific. I've been in Music city for about 20 years now. Where in OH did you come from? Your M3S looks good! I went with Sole Red metallic for my M3 i Touring hatch, purchased...

    Mazda3 Shawty

    For some drivers the 2014 Mazda3 has a bit too much Zoom-zoom. For those people Mazda will be producing the limited edition Mazda3 Shawty. Zom-zom!

    Guide How To Disable Daytime Running Lights (instructions)

    Being an introvert by nature, I don't like drawing attention to myself or my car by displaying Daytime Running Lights. So I figured the above detailed procedure would be a very good idea. I went through the steps several times, but on every attempt the DRL were still illuminated. By the 26th...

    2014 Mazda 3 seats - a pain in the ribs.

    Inspired by Neo90277, I took my car to an upholstery shop near me to have them appraise my seat issues. The owner came out to have a look at my car since he was unfamiliar with the 2014 Mazda 3. I'm not too sure I will return to this shop to have any work done because his first suggestion to...

    2014 Mazda 3 seats - a pain in the ribs.

    Thanks for the additional input on this subject Neo90277! I was also frustrated by the headrest alignment pushing my head forward. I eventually found a seatback tilt that was comfortable for driving which also positioned the headrest back far enough to eliminate the problem. However, doing so...

    New Hatchback Owner! '14

    In the 2014 Mazda 3 automatic, I don't notice any throttle lag, or hesitation when I step on the gas (I can't tolerate that either) it immediately starts accelerating. But if you're used to pre-revving to say 2500 rpm then lifting your clutch foot when the break in traffic happens -- you...

    New Hatchback Owner! '14

    I've been driving a 2014 Mazda 3 i Touring hatch for a little over a month, about 60 miles a day plus a 1200 mile road trip. I really enjoy driving the car. It has excellent road feel and handling characteristics and I did, in fact attain the factory claimed 40 mpg on my long road trip. (yippy)...

    2014 Mazda 3 seats - a pain in the ribs.

    The cloth Touring seats don't have an adjustable lumbar. If they did, that might help a little. When I first got in the car for a test drive I was like, "Yes"! The firm side bolsters felt great. It was only after I bought the car and began driving it on a daily basis that I started to feel the...

    2014 Mazda 3 seats - a pain in the ribs.

    Just over a month ago I traded in my 2004 Mazda 6 i for a 2014 Mazda 3 i Touring hatchback. I love this new car, but thoughts of trading it in before I even make my first payment have been going through my head. The reason: the driver's seat is painfully too narrow for my body. I'm a fairly...
