2005 Mazda3 sport. Still going strong. Going to see if I can get 500K.
2005 hatch 353,000 km
I had similar problem on my 2005 GT a while back, fixed it by replacing solenoid purge valve.
05 Sport GT, purchased it new. I think it was 8KM on it when I took delivery.
Hit 300K recently...

I bought roll of this from TRS a while back, still have more than half leftover. If you want it I can give it to you for free.
I had a similar problem on my 05. Had the purge solenoid valve changed last month and no problem since.
Just to clarify... within 2 minutes of starting the car I would get warm air and by 5 minute mark from starting the car I would get hot air and the temperature needle would be at the 1/2 mark. This...
With recent cold weather I noticed that my 05 GT warms up much quicker than normal from cold starts. Normally in cold weather it takes about 10 minutes for my car get warm air. The last couple days,...
Most likely is the switch. I had the same problem a while back. Changing the switch is easy, don't even need to take out the door panel. You can temporarily swap the switch from another MZ3 and...
You will also need to tap to a power source for the power switch lights so the buttons light up with rest of the dash when you turn on the light at night.
I had to replace the passenger engine mount twice... first time was around 100k and the 2nd time was 190k. Other than that just regular maintenance and regular wear and tear stuff.
My 2005 GT Sport has 205,000km on it. Engine is going strong... knock on wood.
The rear OEM lasted less than 40,000km, fronts lasted 150,000km. Replaced the rears with Hawk HPS and they lasted 100,000km.
I picked up a set of Yokohama Avid Envigor from Simply Tire last month. Put on 5000KM on them so far and am pretty happy with them. They are fairly quiet and comfortable. The main reason I bought...
I got mine Hidden Hitch from http://www.hitchntrailer.com/pages/main.html. I think it was $180 installed without wiring harness, but that was 6 years ago.
How much oil is you engine burning? I just check my oil, 4000km after oil change and it is at the "Min" mark. Not sure what level the dealer topped it at with last oil change, but I guess I should...
2005 Sport GT - 203K
on 5th set of tires, replaced passenger engine mount twice, rear breaks twice, front break once.
When I swapped my 2005 hatch seats with seats from 2006 I also had to swap the rails too or the air bag light will stay on.
McGuyver did my hight DRL, it works great. He has a how to with diagrams at http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?49737-All-new-highbeams-as-DRL-mod/page3
Dan is definitely the man. He did great job on my high beam DRL a while back and last week I tried to mess around with his work to make the DRL dimmer. Instead I screwed up royally, DRL and high...
They put the tape on mine car too when I had my wheel wells done last month. One side you can see paint smear on inside of the tape, as if though thought put the tape on before the paint is dry.
...
That's a terrible at wheel well seams, looks like the paint will flake off in no time. I think I better talk to Ted from Avante and Adam from Prochilo Brothers before dropping my car off on Monday.
How long did Prochilo Brothers say the job will take? I will be dropping of my car on Monday to get the rust fixed on rear fenders. I was told the job will take 4 days. If it going to take more thank...
I took my 05 GT to Prochilo Brothers for estimate couple weeks ago. I was told that even after the work the rust will likely come back in about a year. The guy said the rust problem is originated...
