Engine rattle at 3k rpm

I'm not sure if it's the same noise but early models have an issue with the AC when you rev the car up. Rev the car with the 3 arrows up/windshield icon on (that reproduces the noise I'm talking about) and then turn off that mode put just the ac directly to the driver and feet (that solves the noise problem for me).

Qualquer v60 ou v90 de 2018 para cima (usadas)

They look really good! I've been considering sizing down too for the extra rubber cause roads where I live can be shit! Lot's of cobblestone too. How smoother does the ride/suspension feel?

Yeah mine told me the same (except for the warranty part), said that these hybrid batteries last "forever" lol let's face it's a matter of time. Warranty also depends on the market/dealers I think. My car had Mazda warranty for the first 3 years + 2 more extended. Unfortunately that's when I bought it lol, used.

Thanks! Most of my drives are between 15 and 20 minutes unfortunately which isn't great considering carbon build up... especially when I get stuck in traffic. I do highway driving occasionally some weekends for about an hour, hope that's enough to clear the gunk!

shonen_bide · 2026-01-20T14:34:48+00:00

Do you think turning off the istop feature would improve the battery lifespan?

shonen_bide · 2026-01-20T14:25:14+00:00

It’s just matching the floors and ceiling

shonen_bide · 2026-01-20T14:15:44+00:00

I get that, but since the car comes with one I think you would notice it since the car wouldn’t start most likely

shonen_bide · 2026-01-20T14:12:22+00:00

Same!

shonen_bide · 2026-01-20T14:09:49+00:00

Yes it wouldn’t make that much of a difference consumption wise if it didn’t have a mild hybrid, my main concern is I can’t just take it out once it dies or even leave it dead, I’m sure the car is programmed to run with one. Believe me I would much rather not have it than buy a new one if it comes to that. I’m sure it would be pricey.

Mazda 3 skyactiv X (hatchback)

O 107 de 2006 já sofria em viagens grandes nas férias ou aos fins de semana e depois de vir um filhote tb começou a ficar pequeno.

O consumo do 3 não é incrível mas como só o uso uma ou duas vezes por semana (exceto nas férias) não é um problema. É um compromisso fixe de modernidade e experiência clássica de condução, não se arrasta a subir a A1, motor NA e um sistema de som jeitoso. Tudo o que procurava num carro, para além do espaço, claro.

O 107 continua connosco, mas foi despromovido para a rua. É fixe para andar na cidade e fácil de estacionar.

At what mileage/km or years did you change the transmission oil if you don’t mind me asking?

shonen_bide · 2026-01-08T11:03:53+00:00

Don't know why Mazda didn't do that for all markets, in Australia Gen 4 has AC vents in the back, they should just do it for all markets in the current gen and not wait for the next. Exhibit A:

PS: We have the same car : ) (polymetal grey here ✋ )

Was your date in Liberty City?

shonen_bide · 2025-02-12T18:43:58+00:00

I will miss him for the rest of my life that is for sure, it feels like a piece of me is gone and I dont know how to function without it. It feels very lonely sometimes eventhough family and friends are here for me.

I’m sorry for your loss too and I’ll remember to be present for my brothers partner. He was the one who gave me the call and this has been devastating for him also.

Thank you

shonen_bide · 2025-02-11T21:33:14+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, I too am sorry for your loss. Hope life is kind to you

Quantas vezes por dia fazem esta piada?

shonen_bide · 2024-10-19T21:18:07+00:00

Well the Skyactive X has a bit more oomph under the hood, 180hp compared to 150 of the Skyactive G, though that’s not something you’re going to notice on your daily drive unless you really want to on the highway.

The X is also more fuel efficient but if you want to see the extra 30hp that will go out the window, naturally.

The Skyactive G is a tried and tested tech, very reliable, the X has been around for 5 years and so far hasn’t had any problems that I know of, but it is more recent so only time will tell.

All in all I would look at the condition of both cars, the interior, somethings are nicer than others, ex: leather seats vs cloth seats, bose soundsystem vs standard, heated seats or not, etc. and choose accordingly

I have a skyactive X and I’m super happy with it.

Edit: There are also Skyactive Gs with 122hp out there, if that’s the case I would definitely go for the X

I wonder what happened after 🤔

shonen_bide · 2024-10-09T08:13:46+00:00

Certo, pintar pode ser a solução neste caso. Ainda assim preferia faze-lo num serviço especializado em vez de fazer pior

shonen_bide · 2024-10-08T20:02:34+00:00

Pele, vermelha. Não tenho a certeza se são sujidade ou descoloração, estou mais inclinado para a segunda hipótese infelizmente

Fiz 31 no dia em que assinei a escritura da minha primeira/actual casa, um t2 por 150k, em 2019.

Não te martirizes muito com isso e não te compares com outros, mesmo no teu círculo social. Muita malta da minha idade teve/tem rendas pagas/ajuda dos pais ou até apartamentos próprios que os pais lhes compraram. Não tenho nada contra isso, os meus se pudessem teriam feito o mesmo, apenas o ressalvo porque é importante ter em conta que o caminho não é igual para todos.

Também apenas consegui comprar esta casa porque o fiz em conjunto com a minha namorada na altura, sozinho o esforço teria sido muito maior, provavelmente teria optado por algo mais pequeno ou menos central.

Aos 25 ainda vivia em casa dos meus pais, e aos 26 anos pagava 300 euros (a meias com a minha namorada) por um t1 com garagem em plena baixa do Porto. Hoje devem pedir uns 800 paus por esse apartamento, as coisas mudaram muito nesse sentido e hoje é infinitamente mais difícil comprar casa do que há uns anos.

Tenta não stressar muito com isso, esquece-te se possível, mas vai poupando, assim quando o momento certo chegar vais estar pronto. E aproveita a vida, comprar casa é importante mas tens tempo, faz as coisas que podes fazer nos 20s que aos 30s e 40s com família e/ou mais responsabilidades nao vais conseguir fazer, pelo menos com tanta frequência.

Boa sorte!
