  1. Re: You think of tracking your car ... maybe do a advanced driving course first

    First thing I did when I purchased my fun car (FD3S) was attend a weekend tracking school.
    Best driving decision I've ever made.
    21 years later, still benefiting from it, with the same car :D

  2. Re: Is there no way to change the audio source while driving?

    Oh, man, I get it. I was so focused on using the actual music button (which IMO would be more logical) but yeah, so you can navigate to the music icon on the screen, and select it from the HMI...

    Re: Japanese vs Mexican

    My 2012 was obviously Japan built, but still had plenty of issues that the stealership and Mazda Canada were no help with. Apparently, according to Mazda, a horn is not warrantied, and isn't...
  4. Re: Is there no way to change the audio source while driving?

    Thanks, I still don't see what you mean though :(
    I hit the music button on the HMI center console, and it only brings up the currently playing source (artist and title if BT, Station name if radio,...

  6. Is there no way to change the audio source while driving?

    I'm still getting acquainted with my new 2018 Mazda 3 Sport GX, which replaced my totaled 2012.

    According to the manual, to change the audio source in Mazda Connect, you have to hit the music key....

    Re: How many kilometer's on your MAZDA 3

    Yeah, I was on the 720 expressway and my lane was clear so I was doing about 70 and not really ready to stop, some guy in front changed lanes at about 45, no big deal there, but then some other guy...

    Re: Brakes + Rotors replacement Suggestions

    There's a sticky thread discussing this.
  10. Re: Manual Gearbox Reverse Gear Half Engages/Does Not Engage? [Video Included]

    My 2012 has been like that since it was brand new.
    They're cheap cars, you get what you pay for.
    If it doesn't engage at the first try, throw it back to neutral, perhaps even engage the 1st gear,...

    Sticky: Re: Brake Options for the Mazda 3

    I left out the prices because, well, many people aren't going to drive across the border to pick up the parts, and getting them in Canada would mean a much higher cost.

    But, for the record, I...

    Sticky: Re: Brake Options for the Mazda 3

    Here's my experience. I installed new rotors + pads in June, so I have about 5k on them under all weather conditions, so I know I can safely recommend this setup for daily use.

    Rotors are the...
  13. Re: Replacing OEM Mazda 3 Rotors and brakes - STUCK but resolved

    Same issue on my 2012.
    Here's how they came out after a lot of elbow grease.

    Re: How long should brakes last?

    Did you break-in the new pads properly?

    Brake warping is a myth, it's simply not true in 99.9999 (and many more 9s)% of cases.
    What is most likely actually the cause is uneven pad material...
  15. Re: Mazda recalling 2.2M vehicles due to trunk damper corrosion issue

    Perhaps because it's limited stock, they're priorizing those who already have signs of rusting/failure but, no, in the end it's a recall and needs to be replaced regardless that it shows visual signs...
  16. Re: Mazda recalling 2.2M vehicles due to trunk damper corrosion issue

    Ah ok ok, thanks. trance|ghost used the term "warranty" and that's what threw me off. Mazda isn't necessarily reknown for fixing stuff out of warranty, even if it's obviously a design flaw and the...
  17. Re: Mazda recalling 2.2M vehicles due to trunk damper corrosion issue

    How was it under warranty, do you still drive your 2012 Speed3?

    Re: Electronic lift gate issues

    My 2012 started acting up in a similar way, a couple of weeks ago I loaded/unloaded some cargo and afterwards the "door open" light in the dash wouldn't come out and the dome would stay on all the...

  21. Re: Mazda recalling 2.2M vehicles due to trunk damper corrosion issue

    So after more confusion, Mazda Canada called me back, saying the dealer would call me within 3 days. They did, the next day, and gave me an appointment.
    The fix took 20 minutes (I guess it's...
  22. Re: Mazda recalling 2.2M vehicles due to trunk damper corrosion issue

    After I insisted with Mazda Canada CS, they told me they made a "special arrangement" for me with a local dealer. By chance, it happens to be the dealer closest to my home. I called, and they said no...
  23. Re: Mazda recalling 2.2M vehicles due to trunk damper corrosion issue

    Yeah I also received the letter, this only a few days afterI contacted Mazda Canada about it.
  24. Re: Mazda recalling 2.2M vehicles due to trunk damper corrosion issue

    Contacted Mazda about it last week, and after a few days they gave me the same B.S. answer again : no parts.

    They explained that's why they haven't even sent a letter to the owner. How can they...

    Kept mine unpainted. Liked the black look. They do tend to degrade over time though.
