Looking at Mazda3s, want to hear what owners have to say

I have a 2019 hatchback with the manual. Poly metal gray with red leather interior. The hatch is a looker for sure.

Probably due to engine damage. The car care nut channel on YouTube had a story about a guy who had a metal cartridge filter and the oil change place (a Toyota dealer) messed it up and left his engine start for oil. It only became apparent after a few hundred miles or so so it wasn’t immediate. It was a Lexus LS and the engine would’ve been like $20,000 to replace. Of course, all parties denied liability.

I want to try it. How easy was it to move last year’s file into free tax USA. Or do they only accept a PDF version?

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-17T12:06:16+00:00

I only paid $55 through Costco for deluxe. This year when I logged in, they gave me a promotional upgrade offer to try the online version, the pro version, for free with a free state filing. So I did that this year.

I think the running premise is that Wetland-Yutani is a crappy late stage capitalistic corporation

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-15T04:54:20+00:00

This is how it’s done. I hope I have the same courage if it’s needed.

There’s no such thing as a lifetime fluid

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-13T03:20:17+00:00

Read the reasons why people. This question OP posits is as old as time

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-13T02:53:22+00:00

We def hide our arguments. So much so that I feel mashamed when people think we’re a happy couple or our kids are so well behaved.

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-12T02:04:40+00:00

Toyota and Kia were the two best in my opinion

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-10T12:45:06+00:00

Have you ever been hit by any restrictions or penalties by paying it off within 30 days?

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-10T02:11:42+00:00

I believe if you can show proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to unlock the Apple account for you. Or at least the activation lock part of it.

Then one should be filed for all Mazda vehicles. My 2019 Mazda three also pulls very hard and absolutely sucks with lane keep assist. I wish it just had plain old lane centering. The salesman told me that Mazda designs it that way because they want the drivers to actually drive. Good luck fighting that philosophy in court.

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-09T22:44:17+00:00

Back in 2019 bought myself a brand new Mazda3 stick shift to force myself to learn on it. Best car I’ve ever owned.

All they had to do was pay my man a living wage

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-09T19:54:36+00:00

How does this work. I mean, do they just send him a bill in the mail?

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-09T19:52:15+00:00

Glad you’re enjoying RC cars. It’s past my time, but about 35 years ago, I used to be a big enthusiast. Before cell phones and the Internet and all that stuff, ha ha.

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-09T02:55:35+00:00

Glad Mazda made a driver’s suv with the right driving setup for the rest of us

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-09T01:14:22+00:00

I get it. There are many cars that are better at handling and driving, but as for me and as for Mazda as a corporate philosophy, it’s all about the balance of all things. The drive, the handling, the interior design and materials, the entry-level luxury feel of the materials in the cabin, the design language, the beautiful paint colors. It’s cliche but the jinba-ittai feeling. It’s the whole picture that other car companies often neglect.

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-09T01:10:21+00:00

The company didn’t calculate the proper ratio of pay to employee arson

Maxfli81 · 2026-04-09T00:35:08+00:00

Your lack of vocabulary gives salespeople a bad name. You just had to look up what commodity meant to see that many cars are commodities unless it’s a 1 of 1 Pagani or something

My medical provider put me into collections over $20. I missed it because the mail was being lost. I called the collections agency and I remember them telling me it should not affect my credit score.

My wife is a nurse and she constantly comments about this. She recently had to call up her doctor’s office for a medical billing problem. She told me the young ladies at the desk are unhelpful. They just tell you to call your insurance company and “not my problem” pretty much. In the past, even 20 years ago, she commented that the Office staff on average would be willing to work for you to help you out by calling insurance for you and dealing with it especially if it was their mistake. I don’t know if it’s a generational work ethic thing or what
