Though I sold my 2014 Mazda3, I continue to be a fan of the brand.

Cleaning the MAF sensor has a high probability of messing it up. Know what you're doing, and use right kind of cleaners that leave NO residue. Or better yet, leave the MAF alone unless the sensor is...
And hopefully you now have collision insurance ;)
Good choice, btw.
I'm guessing it was determined to be your fault? There are a couple of options - shop around for a better quote on fixing your car. Maybe someone can do it for $1800...
Then you can either fix...
Yeah, that line doesn't apply to everyone, I realize that. Circumstances force many to work and they start out at min wage - just don't plan on living off it for the rest of your life - as in, plan...
People who are clamoring for minimum wage increase do not think about consequences. Do they think companies will pay them out of their own profits?
They don't realize that prices will go up, and...
I've been bringing my Mazda3 to MofT for the first 3 years of its life, and the $90+ oil change actually involves tire rotation. So if you're bringing your own set of winter wheels (not just tires,...
I vote for 427 auto collision. All the work they've done on mine and family cars (4 different times) have been spectacular.
Other shops, often an issue of cutting corners. Wrong clearcoat, poor...
While rumours of a new speed3 have been dead, Mazda is putting the turbocharged CX-9 engine in its next Mazda6 sedan. Likely to be FWD-only, so unsure how all that torque will be handled - perhaps...
Leather soles on dress shoes are only slippery when you haven't worn them yet. As soon as you start walking, the smooth leather gets worn and rough.
In any case, the only time i had a problem with...
Without the foot on the clutch/brake pedal:
Push once - accessory.
Push again - On (everything is on and running off the battery).
Push a third time to turn off.
If it's hard to get in / out of a gear, it could be a sign that the clutch is nearing the end of its life.
But a more tell-tale sign is either:
1. When you press the accelerator, the RPMs go...
Don't be practicing so many clutch holds - you'll be burning out your clutch. You should only be engaging the clutch when you are ready to move - not waiting for the light to switch, not using it to...
My father sprayed his Dodge minivan at Krown <undisclosed>, and they drilled holes. When he opened the door once to replace window motor, most of the door was dry, with only some spray here and...
In my opinion, drilling holes is not necessary - it will just drip oil all over, and by the time you see doors rusted, your rear fenders will be missing major chunks due to rust.
Spraying the...
The point of drilling holes is to prevent any moisture that gets trapped inside doors from causing rust to develop. The longer you wait, the greater the chance of corrosion starting.

The all day driving portion with 5x the risk is covered by Uber's insurance. There should be no change to personal insurance. The only time you drive for Uber under "personal insurance" possibly is...
Things possibly changed in the last year. The personal insurance company she had was not Intact, but her vehicle was covered completely under Uber's agreement with Intact.
- why do private...
I can confirm that Uber provides insurance coverage for its drivers. My niece was involved in an accident while driving for Uber last year. Her coverage came through Intact Insurance, and had nothing...
Linky?
Will it work with CarPlay? Don't have Android phone...
edit: found the site, looks like only Android Auto is supported. I believe i patched some tweaks 2+ years ago, but am on version...
2014 Mazda3 GS manual with 2.0L SkyActiv
Recently drove to/from FLorida. Average highway fuel economy hovered around 6 L / 100 km but that's with varying speeds (no cruise control) about 110-130...
Wanted to do map updates (2014 Mazda3 GS with nav), and realized that my 3 year complimentary updates are expired, and now NavTeq wants a whopping $120 for one-time update, or $190 for 3 years' worth...
It is an older model / platform, with previous generation engine - quite thirsty actually.
From what I read, there was a fairly strong demand for the car in Canada and Mazda chose to continue...
in the olden days, i would put a drop of oil on the outside of the belt and it took care of the squeek.
As the engine is running, drip one to three drops of oil on top of the belt and see what...
Time to update your signature then...
