Just chiming in with my .02, I've tinted my cars for almost 30 years and I always go 20% all round in the rear and 35% front side windows, nothing on the windshield. Never had a problem with the cops...

Just chiming in with my .02, I've tinted my cars for almost 30 years and I always go 20% all round in the rear and 35% front side windows, nothing on the windshield. Never had a problem with the cops...
Just generic tire noise, a humming noise that increases in volume with speed. Wind and engine noise are well controlled in the gen 3 so I think this is part of the reason I'm noticing any increase in...
Can confirm the Pilot A/S 3's are noisy. My Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 winter tires are much quieter. I'm almost dreading putting my summer tires back on ! The dry and wet grip however makes it a...
Have you tried searching the junkyards ?

Interesting, do you know why this is ? To work out the bugs on the Japanese production line given their greater experience with model change over ? This follows what was done for the 3rd gen as well.
I agree with you but hard core manual drivers like us are unfortunately an extreme minority on this continent and the manufacturers have to play to the masses.
Just a guess but perhaps to avoid the time and costs required to certify fuel economy ratings for the 2.5 with manual transmission and i-eloop for the North American market because actual volume sold...
Mexico production started Jan. 7 2014, until the Salamanca plant opened all 3rd gen 3's were made in Japan. Since it opened they have made all non-GT models (sedan and Sport) for the North American...
If you're around the GTA then Jeff is your man (although I came all the way from Ottawa to see him !)
On my 2015 Mazda3 GT 6MT I'm currently getting around 7.0L/100km, 50/50 city/highway (average speed 66 km/h). I have just over 11,000km. Mileage has improved since new where I was getting about...
All Mexican assembled vehicles start with '3' (1-USA, 2-CAN). Early 2014 GX/GS came from Japan because Mazda's Mexican assembly plant did not start production until Jan. 7, 2014, after the model year...
Can 100% confirm 16" Mazda OEM rims fits fine on the front and rear. I test fit a Mazda 16" OEM alloy rim on my 2015 GT before I went ahead and mounted the tires.
Just bumping an old thread as I installed these tires on my 2015 3 GT on the weekend. What an unbelievable difference between the Michelins and the stock Dunlop SP 5000.
I was initially...
If your car was made in Japan (JM1) then it could be the following TSB. I believe that this would limit it to GT models unless some non-GT's were ever made in Japan. The TSB applies to 2014-2016...
Finally got around to installing the pneumatic lumbar support. WOW ! What a difference, totally transforms the seat comfort for me. Probably the best cheapest mod I've done yet.
It was very easy...
Yeah I also had a sporadic dimmer switch beep on my 2010 but that was one small light beep randomly about every 40-60 seconds until I figured out what it was.
I should also mention that I...
Update: Happened for a second time today, again while just driving along normally. Stopping and restarting the car cleared the sound. I took a video this time.
...
As in disconnecting the battery for a while ? No, because the noise went away when I restarted the car. Just wondered if anyone had heard anything similar or had any ideas.
If it happens again...
Had a strange problem today just driving along normally and a weird beeping noise starts. I mute the music but it continues on. No warning lights or any alerts indicated on the display screen. Note:...
Kitchener-Waterloo
That's about the highest compliment you can pay an OEM tire LOL !!!
I'd give you mine but Ottawa doesn't do you any good :)
I actually just noticed that Powerbulbs are currently advertising 20% off (Code: SPRING) so once you add it to your cart and apply the discount it is $59.17 CAD with free shipping. They have a 12...
I don't know about that, I'm on my second in a row :D
^^This. It usually takes a few new cars before you just accept the fact you're going to get dings, rock chips etc. All you can do is take precautions as best you can (park away from other cars, don't...
