[drivebybiped]

Anything interesting you've recently discovered, or just things you've always loved about you Mazda3.

* the way the lights auto dim when you shut off the car
* the little holders for the middle rear seatbelt
* the way the car doesn't hate me too much for learning to drive manual on it :p

[Turtle of Time]

the way the TMPS beeps at you when a tire is low on air.

[Raider]

That you can adjust the HID's upward to make the road more visible.

[Fourthmeal]

That your engine comes out REALLY easily all by itself.

Hahahah..


No seriously, that pissed me off when the trans bolt snapped and left me stranded.



While I had one, I did enjoy the excellent brakes and sure-footed grip. I also enjoyed the wide-eyed views of other drivers around me that thought they could beat me. lol.

Yeah that was a screw up....I always liked the fact the car says Hello when started.

[chico]

Hello?

[condor888000]

Yeah, it pops up on the stock radio LCD display.

[chico]

Don't use the lighter socket for plug-in accessories such as shavers and coffee pots.

Damn, how will I get my coffee on the go now? :'(

the foam between the front lip and the frame says MPS

The foam that surrounds the spare says the same.

Lets see...

1. I just noticed the other day when cleaning the inside of the car that the plastic is still covering the rear seat cup holders :D Its now a mission to keep it there forever, and who ever takes it off will pay!

2. When installing a Cp-e standback i noticed that there are flying "M" logos on some of the metal work on various parts of the engine bay and motor.

I know, I want to see how long I can keep mine there. I'm thinking of putting a note on the plastic cover warning whoever dares to take it off that they shall suffer my wrath :-p

After only having my MS3 for a few months, my brake pedal fell off and can't get the sucker to stay on anymore!

Other than that, I love everything about this car......


Anyone having an issue with the amb button? It's like 80 degrees where I am and it reads between 13-33 degrees.

It's on faren. I tried holding the button down and nothing! Going to bring it to the dealership and hopefully they can figure it out.

Thanks!

Good luck let me know how it goes!

Actually there's a sequence you have to follow to change from Farenheit to Celcius...

I just found out yesterday the beauty of of turning off DSC and Traction Control. Makes the car a lot more fun :)

[rotus]

So this is well known, but I love the fact that I could just 'turn on' the trip computer in my MS3 sport.

I learned that if you have the six disc changer in the mazda 3 you can hold the load button or eject button and the system will allow you to either load or eject up to six cd's at a time so you dont have to sit there continuously pushing the button.
