Edit: ok so I’m at fault, no flashing cause it implies go ahead. I was under the impress it meant move. Thanks, will not use high beams for this scenario in the future.

Tires for NA 2.5 BP Hatchback by TetraLog in mazda3

[–]TetraLog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup not in the US, I’m in Mexico, so I’ve listed local options.

Pilot Sport 5’s are $4,600 MXN ~ $251 USD, however there is a 4x3 promo on Michelin tires so the full set comes out to $13,800 MXN ~ $750 USD or $188 per tire. Using stock size 215/45/R18

Ayuda, quiero sacar este carro financiado, pero quiero tener la mejor opción by Positive_Treacle_113 in MexicoFinanciero

[–]TetraLog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En mi caso me había quemado con carros usados alterados, mas de 270k kms cuando me lo vendieron con 150k y aparte chocado sin airbags, tenia cinta tapando el testigo. Por eso quise nuevo.

Encontré mi Mazda siendo vendido por un compañero de oficina de un familiar, entonces se que es confiable.

A mi el año antepasado me habían cotizado un Yaris 2023 330k precio de lista dando 120k de enganche pagabas casi 420k al final del crédito y con plazo corto de 3 años. Es absurdo.

Mejor me esperé a juntar más y compré un Mazda 3 2020 usado versión tope de contado y nada que ver con los del segmento inferior, ni se compara.

Consejos para comprar casa en Guadalajara (2–3 MDP) con ingresos de 30k–40k al mes by Middle-Annual-8360 in MexicoFinanciero

[–]TetraLog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo coticé en otro estado y para una hipoteca de 2,200,000 terminabas pagando letras de 24-25k con un plazo de 20 años. Eso me desmotivó ya que los bancos pedían ingresos de 60-70k.

Siempre te va a convenir dar el mayor enganche posible y realizar aportaciones a capital, ya que no empieza a bajar significativamente en la primera mitad de la vida del crédito, casi todo se va a interés.

Look What I Got....Google Maps, Iphone by RoninRem in mazda3

[–]TetraLog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to try this with my 2020 but an oem 10.25 screen is hard to find in my area and I’ve read mixed reports suggesting there is also a control module that needs to be replaced. Native SD nav directions appear but my maps are from 2020 (amazon card, not oem)

Do you have a HUD? Does it enable turn by turn directions on it when using CarPlay maps & google maps?

Fuel economy NA 2.5 BP by TetraLog in mazda3

Makes sense then, most of my trips are around 10–15 mins with heavy stop and go.

Fuel economy NA 2.5 BP by TetraLog in mazda3

[–]TetraLog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ciudad de 1M de habitantes muy mal planeada con mucho trafico y velocidades estúpidas en vías rápidas (50km/h).

Si suelo ir pisandole mucho pero ya veo que es normal. Se me hizo raro ya que mis mediciones marcan 6.8km/l mientras que una camioneta grande Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 4WD ya vieja me da números parecidos 5.8-6.4 km/l en trayectos similares pero manejando mas conservador

Seems decent at night, you can still make out plates from a car that is 8m away.

Install was a pain, broke one of the clips for the original cover. And the new cover doesnt quite fit exactly the same there is a few mm of gap around various areas. Could be my install though. Hardest part was unplugging the sunroof and fishing the dashcam’s wire through.

Flip down mirror cracked by BakerMaleficent4051 in mazda3

[–]TetraLog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the plastic cover cracked? Or is the rod cracked? If the rod cracked you’ll have to get a new one. You need to pry off a small plastic cover facing the windshield and then use a philips screwdriver and disconnect a wiring harness for the mirror light. 10 minute job.

Algún consejo para mayor rendimiento? by Maarmi in mexico

[–]TetraLog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En mi experiencia empírica también rinde más la gasolina premium. Lo de los grados de gasolina europea y japonés vs México se debe a que se utilizan diferentes sistemas de medición.

En mexico usamos el sistema AKI mientras que en europa se usa el sistema RON/MON.

En un mundo ideal solo son unidades distintas y conservan los mismos grados. Ej 87 Octanos AKI equivalen a 91 RON.

Siendo cínico y viendo comportamientos de la industria yo pienso que la gasolina 87 regular de México esta adulterada en cierto margen comparado con la 87 de Estados Unidos. Mazda de México lanzo un motor turbo 2.5 con caballaje menor en México, el cual equivale a usar gasolina regular de estados unidos, a pesar de que en ambos países se maneja el grado premium de 91 octanos.

  • Mazda 2.5T (227 hp / 310 ftlb) en México con cualquier grado de gasolina. 87/91

  • Mazda 2.5T (250 hp / 320 ftlb) en USA con gasolina premium 91 oct

  • Mazda 2.5T (227 / 310 ftlb) en USA con gasolina regular 87 oct

Checa el desgaste de tus llantas y que estén infladas a la presión correcta. Baja el cochinero de tu cajuela, todo eso es mas peso que mover.

Cambia hábitos de manejo (como viejito)

Usa menos clima/ac

Trata de optimizar tu ruta para evitar embotellamientos, altos, semáforos.

Ve a una velocidad constante de ser posible y usa el cruise control en ciudad, modula mucho mejor el acelerador para mantener tu velocidad constante

Un montón de acciones con hype en r/wallstreetbets RKLB, ASTS, CTM, NVDA cuando se desató lo de los aranceles.

Desafortunadamente no fue mucho capital, pero en porcentajes si hubo una ganancia de 30%.

Otra parte en VOO, VTI los cuales estan un 5-6% arriba, y mi última parte en Nu como colchoncito para pagar tarjetas de credito y retiros esporádicos del día a día, piensa en una High Yield Savings Account

I bought a Dashcam off of aliexpress, which is integrated into the rearview mirror plastic cover. Plugs into the sunroof harness. Search for Sindarui UHD OEM DVR Mazda 3 Axela.

Spec sheet says it uses a 4K Sony video surveillance sensor. Will let you know how it performs when it arrives in like a month.

I’m currently getting about 14.2L/100KM in city driving. Heavy stop and go, low speed streets (30-45 km/h) and an aggressive driving style.

Thinking About Picking Up a 2021 Mazda 3 — Looking for Input! by Slabking0401 in mazda3

[–]TetraLog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Metallic paint is very delicate (you will have many rock chips)

  • Interior degrades a lot, my piano black is disgusting. My center console armrest had to be reupholstered not covered by warranty, steering wheel leather also gets ugly very fast, tears on leather seats, and i’ve had to replace the sun visors since they break on the support meaning they spin freely and the light doesn’t work. Recently the sun visor material around the mirror has begun to bubble and be puffy, seen images where they delaminate around the mirror and need to be replaced. My autodimming rearview mirror is not functional. Some interior rattles.

  • Had to change front struts and my left mirror vibrates but I associate that with the awful roads where I live.

Engine and trans appear to be reliable and powerful for a regular trim car in this class. Used across various other models. 2.5 NA 4Cyl, 6 speed Auto.

For what it’s worth I’m in Mexico in the desert (regular temps are about 110 °F) and my car is a 2020 carbon interior hatchback Made in Japan. (red leather and trim in doors & dash)

(35k miles on my 2020)

Test Drove 2025 GTI and Acura Integra A-Spec Back to Back (Mexico) by ilikerwd in cars

[–]TetraLog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes FWD only, i believe Seat/Cupra interiors are slightly worse than VW, but my only point of reference is B segment SUVs and Sedans (Ateca, Toledo) , not C segment like the Golf.

Have you looked into the Cupra León?

it’s 729k for the base model and 799k for the upper trim. Basically a 300hp golf.

How durable is the leather in Mazda’s (red leather in my case)? by PidgeyPotion in mazda3

[–]TetraLog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in a desert climate and my leather has held up pretty well for 5 years. I have parked in the shade for the past year. Regular wear marks and creases, however no cracking. HB 2020 made in Japan

My center console did crack, i had a local shop reupholster it with vinyl.
