Was wondering if they actually fixed these problems. Test drove the car a week ago. Loved it!!! Don't know if i'll buy it with these known problems.

Amen. So, responding to gdzila13...our GT Sport has about 4000km now, and has no A/C or brake problem. In fact, we are very pleased with the lack of problems in this new model car. Brake wear has dropped to normal and the A/C is a little less frigid compared to our Camry, but adequate. Hey, eventually we will have a few - what car doesn't - and a small price to pay for a great handling vehicle.

So, did you feel that the brake wear was above normal before? If so, why? I too, currently own a camry and the a/c is pretty frigid. Is it going to be a noticeable difference. I love my a/c.

Some posts have been removed as they were off topic. As I suggested previously, there is a discussion in M&R devoted to oil issues and debate.

Re brakes, not really - had some dust and minor grooving the first 500k, but then the rotors smoothed right out - and normal now. Question will be how long a life I get from the pads, but not really worried - talked to the dealer and if wear is abnormal before 60k, he will replace.
 
As to A/C, it is better than our recent Echo and not as frigid as our Camry. In other words, it is quite adequate. Even if it was as poor as the Echo, we prob would have bought it anyway - just a great car to drive for the price (if you enjoy driving!).

Are most people who buy Mazda 3's techies ?
 
Looks like an Einstein forum in here.

Some are, some are "legends in their own mind".
 
Speaking of problems, has anyone ever had their low washer fluid light go on? If they have, then I finally have a problem.

Well, I'm not an automtive techie, but I'm an IT techie. Several of the guys at work with me like the 3 also...one of them owns a Mazdaspeed Protege5, 2 others love their old 1991 Proteges, and someone just picked up a 6 recently I think.
 
Mazda, the premier brand of cool car for geeks everywhere. Maybe geeks of some form are the ones who can best appreciate Mazda?
