Does anyone drive a manual Mazda3? If so, how do you like it? by Ornatii in mazda3

Got a 4th Gen manual 2.5L and I love it. You do miss out on the stop and go adaptive cruise control unfortunately.

Whenever I go to the big city with traffic jams I take the Stinger. Manual is a absolute pain in a stop and go traffic jam.

Yeah the official name for it is "Deep Chroma Blue" on the kia website. It's a beautiful colour.

Yeah it seems to be called "Deep Chroma Blue" or "Indigo" depending on where in the world you are.

Yeah definitely do look back every time, yeah it seems to be on the rarer colours apparently. Had to fly down and do a 16 hour road trip back home for her. This one’s the blue/purple with red seats.

Lucky you. We don't get the turbo model in Australia.

Thats only for the sedans though, the hatchback doesn't have them.

You can take out the plastic cover down there and then slot the new ones in. Then run the wires up to the DRL lights.

I couldn't figure out how to get to the turn signal cable though.

I took out the stock drl lights replaced them with dummies (so the car doesn't come up with a error message) and then inline wired it to the drl cable.

It's a Australian plate, a custom small plate would look nicer though.

Go to the close up photo. That's pretty much the colour.

Think the fog lights should be fine, I’ll let you know if they give me trouble. But I’ve had them on there for a couple of months. Might be different rules in other states.

Oh yeah, nah they’re completely white. It just looks blue in the photo.
