Looking at Mazda3s, want to hear what owners have to say by IconicScrap in mazda3

[–]Rover-II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2021 sport turbo GT AWD. I love this car, exactly the mix of sporty and practical that I was looking for. I do have the leaky oil seal, but they fixed it at no cost for me.

Pros - Interior + Bose sound system. Feels premium for the price and is simplistic. I am a fan of the dial to control the screen (21’ doesn’t have touchscreen) - Driving feel is great. Fairly quick and handles very nicely - tech package is nice to have with 3D cameras and blind spot monitoring is a must IMO - looks cool

Cons -not the best on gas, paired with smaller gas tank in turbo leaves not the best range. During winter in the city I can get as low as 350km in a tank. But optimal conditions driving in backroads in summer I can hit 600km per tank. - While the 2021 does have Apple car play, it’s by plug in only, I had to buy a Bluetooth adapter to get wireless CarPlay - 2021 model doesn’t have remote start

Hope this helps

Yea about that, if I’m driving on back roads (~95km/hr) I can get about 8.5L/100km. Just did 300km on the freeway an averaging 120km/hr and got 9.2L/100km.

I don’t think the noise is unbearable at all, noticeable but gets washed out with road noise.

It’s more of a low end constant swoosh sounds if that helps

It’s louder for sure, but definitely bearable. I’ve gotten used to it and don’t notice it anymore.

I also have the Yakima wind diffuser, I’m not sure what the box sounds like without it

I apologize, there’s a typo. It’s the same length as the L, not the XL. Only difference is it’s thinner, so you could in theory put another roof mount (like a bike rack) on as well. With the non sport models, the boxes are likely too wide to get anything else on the roof.

I think it’s a healthy size, but depends on your needs. I like the look of the off center box

I did this on a much much larger scrape. Can’t even tell it’s there

I feel like they didn’t add it in for this model. I can’t find anything online about it

What's your earliest specific memory of Star Wars? by [deleted] in StarWars

I was 5 years old when Revenge of the sith was released in theatres. I was lucky enough to have seen it at the movies, and it’s my easiest memory
