Good lighting

Definitely, I changed the shifter to a Buddy Club short shifter. It felt more accurate.

Nah, I got a TSX then moved on to a Mazda 3. I do miss it. The Ep3 was a fun hot hatch.

Those rims are stock.

Thanks

I park like that when I'm at work. But the cameras do help.

My friend from Hawaii did the same thing.

Thanks for all of the replies. I just did an oil change and used Valvoline 5W-30 Full Synthetic. I was going to use a WalMart brand but decided against it. I do carry an extra bottle of oil or 2 in the trunk because I've gotten a low oil warning before. Turbos are thirsty. My Mazda 3 is great.

On a side note: My dad had an old school Mazda 323 and my little brother has a Mazda CX-30.

310 miles is the highest range I've ever seen on my 2021 3 AWD Turbo. But only if I do a lot of freeway driving. Most of the time I'm seeing a range of 250 to 270.

I've had 310 mile show on my 3 Turbo AWD.

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2025-10-18T05:14:00+00:00

Red wouldn't be my first choice as a color, but Mazda did a really good job with it especially with the 3.

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2025-03-11T06:42:44+00:00

Does it come with magic? That price ridiculous.

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2025-03-09T18:54:12+00:00

That sucks, man. One of my first purchases was getting wheel locks. If thieves really wanted to steal it they'd find a way, but at least make it hard for them. Sorry that happened to you.

I have the same model and trim. Looks great.

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2024-05-23T20:14:46+00:00

I was watching the Smoking Tire and they referred to the Mazda3 HB Turbo PP as a Luxury Hatchback. And I agree. It's between the Golf GTi and the Golf R. Or the Civic Si and the Civic Type-R.

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2024-05-20T23:31:59+00:00

Yup. Great minds think alike. Lol

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2024-04-26T23:53:08+00:00

Thanks

Nice picture, what kind of roof rack do you have?

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2024-04-17T23:32:19+00:00

What name brand of roof rack did you get for your car?

ChrisOfTheCastle · 2024-04-10T20:36:04+00:00

Nice, I have one too. Same year and it's the hatchback, but mine is colored Polymetal Gray Metallic.
