With its class-leading features, advanced technology and safety components, you can see why drivers have kept coming back throughout the vehicle's 40 year history. From the first time you lay eyes on a Mazda3, to the very first turn of the steering wheel, it’s easy to see why drivers have fallen in love with it. From its unbelievably engaging driving dynamics, to its award-winning design and unparalleled quality. Mazda3’s success can be attributed to a variety of things. It’s earned the distinction of reaching 1 million sales faster than any vehicle in Mazda history. Since its debut in 2004, the Mazda3 has gone on to become the best-selling Mazda in the world, with more than 5 million sold. But even though the Mazda3 has seen so many changes and advancements, one thing about it remains the same: Mazda’s driving philosophy of “Jinba Ittai,” representing the harmony between car and driver. Today, the 2019 Mazda3 is available as an bold hatchback or a sleek sedan. the acids eat away at the metal it is supposed to protect and is environmentally hazardous.Today’s Mazda3 has four decades worth of predecessors in the form of a station wagon or a coupe - the GLC, 323 and Protegé. That's why they stopped (for the most part) spraying used oil as an undercoating on cars. (the oil filter doesn't catch everything)ĮDIT. (and is probably even less total cost).įrequent oil changes reduce sludge buildup and even help wash it away. I believe cheap oil changed every 3k miles is way better than expensive synthetic oil changed every 7.5k miles. It's the used oil that is dangerous and can cause cancer with long term exposure. we are limited to 4 gallons because it is considered toxic waste and special permits (hazmat) are required to transport more than that. Here in Canada, I can completely fill my car with new oil. One thing people don't seem to consider with engine oil is the corrosive acids that are created and stored in the oil. In general this car served us well and it seems like it should have many more years of reliable service (once I get the Timing belt done and change the shocks). The infamous rust over the front wheel strut tower seems limited to the metal ring so far (no corrosion on the paint/surrounding area).

So far, I have a small rust spot on the driver side rear wheel well (which I will be fixing soon). I'm thinking about putting tints on it and painting wheels black + putting in the 12" sub + amp. I change oil myself every 5k and did Transmission fluid change about a year ago. Other item was minimal, Intake Boot.that's about it. I'm pretty sure radiator was at that age anyways. Other minor issue was I let the belts go too long (had them but didn't put them on) and they broke.car started to overheat but turned it off in time etc.too much pressure for radiator/popped a hole.so I ended up replacing that (self inflicted pain). I also have to replace front shocks as the car is becoming VERY bouncy and rough on the bumps (no biggie, maintenance item at this age/mileage). I just got new Tires for her and I'm about to do Timing Belt/Waterpump etc change. Just wanted to get an idea how much more life this car has in it and other people's experiences. It's been reliable and we are very happy with it.
Our 2001 Protege LX 2.0 has 76k miles and has served us extremely well.
