  1. I received a quotation today. The cost for the front bumper, 18-inch hood, and fenders is around $1000, with the fenders extending from the hood. Consider a hypothetical scenario where a linear construct is being contemplated. It extends somewhat beyond the focal point of the headlights. The total cost for the whole hood, fenders, and bumper amounts to $1250. What are your thoughts on the matter? The product comes with a guarantee that spans a duration of ten years.
  2. I achieved a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon on my commute to and from work, covering a total distance of 66 miles, using my Cruze. However, I was aware that the CX5 would not provide the same level of fuel efficiency. Nevertheless, I was attracted to the CX5 due to its slightly higher power output, which I believed would be advantageous for my daily driving needs. I own two Chevrolet Corvettes, which are vehicles that I find enjoyable and do not prioritise fuel efficiency.
  3. Greetings, individuals. I have just sold my DD Cruze and proceeded to swap in my F150 in order to get a brand-new 2023 CX-5 Turbo in the colour machine grey. Up to this point, a distance of 500 miles has been traversed, and the overall experience has been really positive. I have just acquired 3D Maxpider mats for my vehicle and want to get the windows tinted next week. I am now operating the vehicle at a steady and moderate pace till I have used many tanks of petrol. I anticipate that there will be an increase in miles per gallon (mpg) if the regulations become less stringent. The window sticker was taken to be laminated. These are a selection of my favourite photographs so far.
  4. The situation deteriorates significantly when there are two or more individuals present in the vehicle. The performance of the automobile temperature control system is unsatisfactory. Throughout a span of 13 years, I have consistently operated Volvo vehicles without encountering the aforementioned issue. Consistently relied on manual control, use the foot and screen settings, with the fan set at a minimum of 2 and recirculation turned off.
  5. The ease of marking and the difficulty in replicating or matching the finish of a damaged panel are notable characteristics. However, it is unclear where the assertion of great scratch and dirt resistance originates, since my own experience suggests the contrary. I have a subjective perspective on this matter; in my opinion, it is aesthetically preferable for automobiles to possess a glossy appearance. Consequently, I am not fond of the visual effect that arises when the clearcoat application is inadvertently omitted.
  6. I have seen the presence of two vehicles on the Autotrader platform. It seems that the vehicle in question has just been introduced to the UK market, as confirmed by my inquiry on the official Mazda website. However, I had anticipated a higher level of engine performance for this particular model.
  7. The one advantage seen in my personal encounter is the availability of a map even in locations where cellular connection is unavailable. The navigation system is not of high quality, although it functions well and I appreciate its use on trips when I lack cellular coverage, since it allows me to ascertain my whereabouts.
  8. The elimination of the Compass setting may be achieved by means of profile deletion. Upon recreating a profile, the default Heads-Up Display (HUD) display will be reinstated.
  9. Greetings, I share the same question. Is it possible to modify the program to conform to European standards? The current software version for the Japanese language is 3.1.0026.0300.
  10. It has been observed that the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has a limited responsiveness, particularly when using the reverse gear. To execute a gear change, it is recommended to provide a brief pause for the engagement process, followed by the application of pressure to the accelerator pedal. Once it is adequately engaged, it exhibits little slippage.
  11. Hello, putting it in the barrel won't do much good; instead, put it in the rear switch area, where the electrical connections are. However, are you certain that the malfunctioning component is the switch or the mechanical components of the barrel? To figure out which portion is stuck, you may try removing the switch from one end and testing it that way.
  12. To do a KAM reset, the battery must be removed for at least 5 minutes. There is no power to any of the meters or lights.
  13. All Mazdas, regardless of powertrain, follow this procedure.
  14. In case the issue still exists this long after OP, or if you just chance to stumble across this: Ozone generators are a remarkable invention. However, there is a catch: ozone is thought to hasten the deterioration of rubber. My cousin handed me his 2007 Impala, which is in fairly bad shape. It smelled bad in a strange way, like greasy fast food mixed with mold. I got this one and used it for many hours while parked in the blazing sun with the air conditioning on recirc, then let it sit in the garage overnight; the vehicle now smells brand new whether it has been exposed to the sun or the rain.
  15. Just tell me what you want to, you know you want to.
  16. Do you happen to know the answers to these questions?
  17. The 255s certainly look the part. I'm running them on dual-finish et33 with no issues. They will work well on Sawtooths since they have the same et20,6 as wolves but are half an inch wider.
  18. I used GL4-specification Comma Fully Synthetic MVMTF 75W80 motor oil. As far as I could tell, GL-4 is the BMW-specified oil, despite the fact that most places sell GL5 instead. Surely others will tell you I'm incorrect, but so what!
  19. Toyota proxy tyres make a huge difference on Mazda 3s, making them much quieter than normal tyres.
  20. I'll keep looking, but it's hard when it looks for words like "on" instead of important words in a phrase. My 3 came with a guarantee that lasts forever. This is something that Mazda just started doing, but it only covers a few things, most of which are mechanical. The protection basically says that you have to fix anything that stops working because of normal wear and tear. When I bought my car, it had 68K miles on it. I also bought insurance that will give me back the full price I paid for the car when I bought it if I write it off in the next 3 years. I like to have everything taken care of!
  21. A clogged pollen filter might cause excessive misting on the inside surfaces of the windows. Just an idea.
  22. Hello, Quirky. Hello and welcome to the Forum. Make sure you go over our Diesel section. I'm certain it will be really beneficial to you.
  23. Is this happening once more?
