Thanks guys.
I was at a local dealership recently and they did a battery test and the results were:
rated: 550 CCA
measured: 342 CCA
voltage: 12.58U
temp: 21C
It's an 07' Mazda 3 GT 2.3L. I bought it...
I'm over 4 hours away from Markham according to Google maps (426 km). :(
Is there someplace as good as Jimmy near the Ottawa area?
The dealership scanned the CEL P0012 and P2088. They adjusted the cam timing but the CEL came back later that day. I called and have to bring the car back. I already paid for 1.5 hours labor. Are...
When I picked the car up there was no CEL until later in the day. I told the mechanic, he cleared the CEL but it came back on later that day. Days later, he attempted the "adjustment", again no CEL...
A few weeks ago I had a CEL and the car had unstable idle and stuttered at red lights/stop signs. I had a local mechanic replace the VVT oil control valve and crankshaft position sensor. Car drives...
Probably normal. Happens on my 07' GT automatic in very cold temps. I'll put it in R and the car will jolt a bit if I don't allow time for a warmup.
Just curious, does the 2015 Mazda 3 GT (2.5L) blip the throttle when you do a manual downshift in the Automatic transmission? And in the Automatic, with the car in Drive (D), when you hit the paddle...
Just had my front struts replaced on my 2007 Mazda 3 GT last month at my local Mazda dealer in Ontario.
Labor was 1.3 hours $129.94
Strut cost was:
BBM2-34-700C DAMPER RT $118.72...
Alright thanks. Yeah the 3 is more practical and the fact that the 3 runs on regular gas is a plus.
Is the power of the Mazda 3 GT 2.5L adequate in your opinion for more performance oriented...
What color did you get? Auto or manual?
I'm trying to decide between a Mazda 3 GT Sedan w/ Luxury or a base Scion FR-S. What do you think?
I guess I'm looking for the funner car out of the two in terms of driving and sound. I've heard the Mazda 3 rev up to redline and it didn't sound all that exciting.
Thanks for the replies.
I'm looking to upgrade my '07 Mazda3 GT Sedan to either of these cars within the next year or two. Has anyone driven both of these cars? How would the 2.5L Mazda be compared to the 2.0 Boxer engine...
Whenever the gas tank is about 60% to 100% full, the car feels a little bit un-eager to move - like I have to hit the gas pedal harder for acceleration. But whenever the fuel level is about 50% or...
Nice. I got the same car and color!
Congrats. Sedan or hatch? What color is it?
At 113,500km now since my original post. Engine still runs good, but like others said, rust is the main concern. I've got rust in both wheel wells. Not happy. :(
$110 per month on my '07 GT Sedan.
The inner wheel wells are bubbling up so its coming from the inside out. How effective is the can?
I've got rust starting in my rear wheel wells on my '07. Is it worth getting Rust Check/Krown at this point to slow it down? Or will it have little effect at this point?
Currently own an 07' GT Sedan in True Red.
Main issues are rust, poor gas mileage, road/wind noise, crappy automatic transmission and crappy AC compressor which is about a $700 part to replace. ...
How would you rate the "fun factor" of a 2014 GT Sedan compared to a Gen 1 GT Sedan out of a scale from 1 to 10? I'm planning on upgrading cars in the future. Likely in 2 to 3 years.
I can't decide btw these two colors.
(Normally I like red but after seeing Soul Red in person at the dealership, it's way too dark for my liking, basically a cherry red color.)
