Any 2008 mazda 3 owners who know the car well?
I was looking for a daily driver that isn't too boring to drive, I know there's Honda and toyota, but what about the mazda 3? I'm looking to buy this as a used car with manual transmission, I want to ask whoever has owned this car for a while and put about 200,000 miles on it a few questions. How is the maintenance, does it cost much to maintain, are spare parts expensive, how is the ride, and all together reliability? Please be as thorough as you can on your points of view on this car, and add any other comments if you have any. I wanna try to compare it with a honda civic or a toyota corolla or Camry. I prefer answers from drivers who have driven the year and make of this car for a couple hundred thousand miles or have lots of experience with it.
Hi take a word of advice any car with over 100k miles is a potential to be a problem. So as far as reliability is concerned it would be impossible to make such a rash statement. Treaty says that this has more of a potential to be a non reliable car. So time to get top grips with life kid.
- Tuned Honda owners, how old are you? This question is only for those who owns a modified Honda (If you only change the wheels, that also counts). Best answer if you also specifiy the model and year of your car, and what modifications are made.
- Mazda reliability? Particularly 2013 mazda 3? I'm in the market for a new car and I was looking between 2013 Toyota corolla which is just boring and doesn't have as much features compared to Honda, or mazda. The Mazda 3 is at a good price 1000 dollars cheaper then the Toyota. So my question is, is Mazda reliable for that generation, or should I stick with a very well known reliable car maker?
- Honda owners: is there a difference in top speed between 4 speed and 5 speed element? My car is an 03 auto awd ex. I'm just curious, what top speed before drag effect comes into Affect? Can it achieve over 100 mph? I've heard that it can do 1-10 but I'm not sure whether that's for the 5 speed or the automatic bc the extra gear makes a difference in my opinion.
- For Honda Reflex NSS 250 owners? I have a 2003 Honda Reflex scoot. What is the correct v-belt size like, for example, the original OEM size? I'm replacing a shredded belt with a 906 22.5 and seems too small?
