So, I bought an Ingen intake off Exneon 2 weeks ago and it arrived today. I have a 2010 5 speed and didn't know if it would work or not so I decided to be a guinnea pig. The whole install took be about 30-40 mins. One main thing I noticed was the huge resonator that wasn't there like in the...

Does any know how I can take out the tail lights for the 2010 Mazda 3?

Hi everyone, I have 6K miles on my 2010. I have a corksport intake and its the only mod Ive done that would possibly cause this. Ive been using the intake for months with no problems. Recently the car will randomly bog (totally cut out all accelerating power 100%) and it will kick in and out a...

Everyone and anyone who owns a brand new 2010 Mazda3 (all Models), Please post how many miles you have on the car and what your best and worst gas mileage is City/Hwy please. Thanks.

Ok so we've all got our brand new Mazda's, we're being careful as possible with them, but it seems like danger is attracted to it like a magnet. Here's a few of my stories within the first 3 months of ownership. Danger #1. About 3 weeks in, I'm merging from highway 270 on to highway 170. ...

I'm trying to get some nice LED bulbs to replace my dome, license plate lights, reverse lights, and other small bulbs for my 2010 MS3. Where do you guys usually get them besides Ebay? And do you guys have a list of bulb sizes for each of our lights? Thank you guys!

As the title says, I had an accident today (well, it was technically yesterday morning) in the new 3. And the way it happened is beyond belief. I am beyond irate. I was stopped at a traffic light behind a yellow school bus, and the driver of the bus decided to back up into my car! She claims...

Hello all. I have a 2010 Mazda 3 Sport 5 door. It has Yokohama S34 tires on it. I love this car and drive it quite a bit. It has 18.7k miles on it already. Here's the problem though. The driver's side rear tire is "worn out" according to my local Mazda dealer. The inside of the tire is...

hi guys, so to make a long story short, last night we got pulled over on my mazdaspeed , the stupid dumb rookie(five-0) writes me up for my tints which i new i needed to change from 20 % to 28% they were put by the dealer and they are replacing it, but after it her ego went to her head and she...

Just looking for some cheap mods that I can do to my white 2010 3 hatchback. I'm low on cash and I just want to see if there some things that will make it look cooler. Thanks in advance

Anyone got a How-To on the turbo timer? I wanna put on in and suck with electronics. :) Or anyone in the Lodi area wanna help me out?

I'm loving the new 2010 grand touring 3 we bought a few weeks back but the wipers are just damn crazy sometimes. At least once a week we can be driving and when in auto mode, they'll just wipe once for no reason. Not a cloud in the sky or anything. I can't notice any difference in the...

It took me five months to reach the 10,000 miles mark. Thanks for all the business trips to Connecticut and Cape Cod Mazda! I was driving down I-93 to Boston yesterday and the odometer jumped from 9,999 to 10,000 when I passed the Zakim Bridge. The driving experience: My mpg has been a...

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forums, but not to Mazdas. I am experiencing a slight rattling/clicking of the glove box on my new 2010 Mazda CX-9 Touring (190 miles). It’s just perceptible if the windows are up and the radio is turned off. Even with the glove box empty, I can still hear it. ...

has anyone fit a bike carrier on the back of a 2010 Mazda 3 5 door? How do you get around the interference with the spoiler? If you have, what brand? Steve in Tampa

I'm just wondering if there's a way to specifically order a MZ3 to your liking and then picking it up (with like 1 mile on the odometer). With some other brands (Toyota), there's no way to specially order everything, you have to trade with another dealer. Thanks!

it has been exactly one year that i have owened my 2010 mazda3 iTouring. but my car insurance (no change, accident, etc.) has increased about 12% just after 1 year. so i asked my provider and responed with below: "The rating symbol for your 2010 Mazda has been revised. This caused a...

I recently had to remove the drivers door panel to replace the crap factory speakers. After putting everything back together I noticed that the horn doesn't sound after pushing the lock button twice with the keyless remote anymore???? Any help I don't really want to have to go to the dealership...

Just purchased a new 3 and was looking through the manual. There are some features that can be changed by the dealer such as auto headlights and locks. I was wondering if there is another option. Can you do this another way?

Ok so I was bored one day on lunch and I really (i mean really) went through the manual (had lots a pretty pictures lol) and I discovered something I had not noticed for the entire 2 months I had the car.... The armrest actually extends (stupid I know but I was like cool lol) so anyone else know...

So last night my GF got a call from the dealership saying that the bank will only finance us if we take out $20,000 for our 2010 Mazda 3. When we negociated we agreed on 18,800. They are saying that we will have to get the extended warranty to meet the 20k. Because that's what we didn't agree on...

Hi, Just got a 2010 mazda 3 sport the other day. lots of fun.. and this forum has been a lot of help so far. Wanting to say hi and ask my first question. i found this kit with some searching and am wondering if anyone knows about it. ...

I just got my Mazda 3 GS last week, and I'm absolutely in love with this car! Both the interior and the exterior are equally beautiful, and it drives like it's on a cloud. Now this is by no means a complaint; just an observation. Wouldn't it make more sense to reverse the volume and the tuning...

Anybody else having this problem? I have to go into first gear right before I put it into reverse otherwise it won't engage. Mine is 2.0L 5-speed, ~1900 miles...

First time car buyer with jitters, I was all set to buy a new 2010 Mazda 3 itouring with the Bose moon roof package and fog lights, when I found a small dent in the passenger door. The sales man wanted me to buy the car with the condition that they fix it to my satisfaction, but I told him I...
