picked up my 3 today! ...a few Q's
i picked up my new mazda 3 5 door today. titanium gray with leather, abs, and an auto transmission. i go to school in orlando and I-4 makes you want to kill yourself when you are driving a stick.
i absolutely love the car though. it has 55 miles on it right now. the windows should be tinted real dark and a stubby antenna will be sitting on top of it by next week. i have noticed that the A/C is a little weak. i do not know if the car has the diffuser that i read about on the forum. i plan on calling the dealership tomorrow about it. someone also mentioned that i should have them fix the 3,000rpm studder. i have not noticed this studder yet. i was driving an 03' mazda 6 before this, and it had the same problem. maybe im just not noticing because its nothing new. i guess ill just look for it and then take it in to get fixed. i posted this in the audio section, but it hasnt received any attention yet. the stock stereo in the 3 isnt that bad for a stock stereo, but i pla n on replacing everything. i have heard of dash kits for the 3, but i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for a dash kit and something to replace the audio screen with. thank you very much. |
congrats on the purchase.
I know nothing about stereo stuff so you're on your own there. My 2.3L 3S had no shutter and it was identical to the one you just described. |
do you know where i could purchase a small stubby antenna?
|
ebay....they are like $3!
p.s. every mazda Iknow of has crappy AC.. I've yanked mine out. |
I have the same problem
I have noticed that my Ac isn't as strong as strong as it could be. I have a couple TSB reports on the Ac.. And i believe its for the Ac not being as cold as it should be.. I live in Sacramento, Ca.. And it gets really Hot here. I NEED A GOOD AC!!

Mazda has crappy AC, but I don't use it anyway. The rest of the car, enjoy, it's one of the best. |
two things for you new people....
#1. Mazda's have crap AC #2. dont EVER expect them to fix anything under warranty...EVER. |
#1....that's true..as I had to fix my HVAC when i first got it because it was all screwed up!
#2....Damn it I forgot about that...but girls usually get their way. Case in point your wifey...remember? :evilgrin: Otherwise, yep...I agree...Mazda will lie, cheat and steal in order to not give up the goods. |
... I guess I got lucky .. Mazda has been looking after my warranty queries very very well!
... so far they have glady repaired: Front stabilizer links Front strut Mounts/Bushings Air Conditioning Update Air Bag Update The MZ3 is a fantastic car .. very happy with it thus far! |
Good for you! Man, some dealerships treat their customers damn good!
