what is the farthest you have driven your mazda3?

[M3Driver]

what's the farthest you guys have driven your mazda3?
i drove from toronto to miami and back with my old 2009 mazda3 gx.
first day i drove 14 hours, until i reached south carolina and overall my mazda performed great.
i was getting great mileage too, because it was all highway.
the only complaint is probably a/c.
we went in late august so it was pretty hot and sometimes the a/c couldn't keep up.

so...how far did you go? what was your experience?

Tremblant and back in a day.

Regarding the A/C, did you have it on recirculate? Also, I find the air gets colder the slower the fan speed, because it has more contact time with cooling radiator/exchanger.

no, i didn't have it on recirculate, for some reason i don't like to use this feature, i always think it's healthier to let the fresh air in, could be my superstition. i usually put a/c on speed level #2.

Drove to Montreal and back in a day to go watch a Canadians vs Leafs game in November! Car was great, I didn't have the a/c on since it was November and cool enough it was not needed.

Had a great time, and haven't had any issues with my MS3

Thunder Bay and back. Took a 9 hour over night stop in Sault st marie then continued on another 9 the next day. This was last year during the end of summer for a wedding so I had some time to rest in between. Was there for about 7 days the another 18 hour trip home :)

LOL damn you must've really taken your time. I get that trip done in 14 hours max.



That's the farthest I've driven with my car, I've done the trip to/from Thunder Bay 3 times now. Did it all in 1 day stopping only once or twice each time.

[Burner]

Driven to the Orlando, Florida area twice. I go non-stop other than for fast food and fuel. My record is just over 19 hours. I don't really speed at all though, especially at night on the interstates.

[STeeLy]

Between Ottawa and Calgary... 3 times.

First time I went from Calgary to Ottawa, it was Calgary - Winnipeg, Winnipeg to Sault Ste. Marie, Sault Ste. Marie to Ottawa.

[Slade]

I took mine to Myrtle Beach, up north a tonne of times, I had no worries getting in and driving long distance.

[dentinger]

Sudbury and back, numerous times.

my GTI, over the course of it's life, has been on much longer trips.

About a 2 minute drive from Bridal Veil Falls, down by the little marina and the chocolate/candy store lol. Great place to go for some relaxation and peace and quiet

[segato13]

Hamilton to Raleigh, NC & back again, twice.
Hockey road trips.
Started here with the heat on (march) and wound up with the windows rolled down, can't complain

[Reymando]

Mississauga to Whistler BC, stayed for about 2 days just to pick up my wallet that I left behind from a one night stand and had a few more fun and drove back to Mississauga. FUN TIMES!!! First trip was for personal business and 3rd trip around was for a family gathering and more fun times......

[lcianf01]

LOL she cudn't mail the wallet

[lcianf01]

Drove from toronto to washington D.c to atlantic city to new york and back to toronto. Ran great the whole way. I agree the A/C didn't keep up at times but i do agree the air gets colder when you keep it on two speed.

[Reymando]

LOL she cudn't mail the wallet

Lets just say that was her hook to get me back:D

[rajin929]

that was a nice road trip. which route did you take, buffalo, or windsor/detroit ?

where did you stay overnight? when i went to miami, i went through buffalo, pennsylvania, virginia, etc.

we stayed overnight in south carolina. the scenery was nice, but lots of hills, especially when driving through virginia and west virginia. next time i would definitely go windsor/detroit route.

[Booostin]

30,000 km since 2011

We went over at the peace bridge and through NY, PA, WV, VA, NC, SC, GA TO FLORIDA. Going there we stopped in a small town called Rock Hills in SC. It was nice but a little run down and the hotel we stayed at was really gross but we didn't have a huge selection of hotels to choose from. Coming back we stopped in Wyetheville, WV. this on the other hand was a beautiful stop. it was a little dark to see the beauty but come morning while having my tea what a view of the mountains. Cost to drive to and from Florida cost me around $500.00 all in including all my driving while in Florida. Great place to go but I think next time I would rather go early fall late spring. Not the middle of summer, that was way to hot for me and yes I have the same complaint about the a/c but I just let the car decide what was best as I have the auto climate control and it worked good but not great.

[Lummix]

Mississauga to Daytona Beach twice.
