I just picked up mine last Saturday.

Put a smile on my face the minute I drove it out the dealership.

I also have this clanking sound coming from the front right area whenever the car goes through steep speed bumps but interestingly there's no noise on bumpy and uneven roads. Initially I thought it could be a problem from the front suspension but yesterday while I was cleaning the engine compartment I noticed that the windshield spray hose located near the right windshield wiper was not securely fastened inside the plastic cover. The noise was gone after I fastened the hose inside the plastic cover where the right wiper is located. Inspect that area and see if all the hose are securely fastened.

Anyone solved the clanking sound from the front suspension yet? Hindi ko mahanap! [emoji22]

It's a 1.5li jet black sedan. Can't wait to take it on the twisties. Too bad the LTO docs are not yet with me.

Have it coated already sir, to avoid the dreaded swirl marks and protect the paint. Blacks are really hard to maintain.

No plates yet. Though they gave me the plate holder.

Sign the waiver so you can drive it around! Haha. Black is a really classic color, but the hardest to maintain!

The 2 OE plate holders will require 4 holes drilled[emoji17]


Hence, many relocate.[emoji4]

For those looking for the model-specific M3 & M2 relocators, just please PM. They're still available. Thanks!

Next gen Mazda 3 with Skyactiv X engine will go back to torsion beam at the rear suspension. Redesigned, the engineers said.

Torsion beam is so much simpler!!![emoji108]

It's got torsion beam axle, but...

Moving up its upcoming Mazda3 from a multi-link independent rear suspension to a torsion beam axle one sounds like a downer, but Mazda does have reasons to their madness. First, the simpler setup allows engineers to fine tune the chassis across a variety of road surfaces. Second, it allows for less noise, harshness, and vibration (an acknowledged Mazda weakness) to enter the cabin because the torsion beam connects the rear wheels with a single steel subframe that twists via a transverse beam. Third, it'll allow for expanded rear seat and cargo space without having to lengthen the wheelbase as much.

For those wanting a sportier driving experience, don't fret. Mazda's torsion beam design is unique in that it broadens at the ends strengthening the area near each wheel helping minimize alignment distortion through the suspension's vertical travel. Mazda also said that during their test parameters, this new set-up is far more superior than the current model's independent multi-link setup in "every aspect."

The current 2 is torsion beam....Equally a blast to drive.[emoji4][emoji106]

I have a question, guys. My car is fairly new (M3 2018 1.5V), about 3 months old. I left my headlights on for 2 hours and 30 minutes while the car was off. Stupid of me, I know. When I turned it on, it turned on just fine. I'm just worried a bit that I drained the battery? Or I shouldn't be too worried?

I thought all modern cars nowadays are equipped with a sort of "switch" which will not allow you to turn on the headlights or allow you to turn it on if the engine is off.

Anyways, if the engine started normally then there is nothing to worry about. Yet...

Well it is cheaper, hopefully they pass the savings on to the consumer.
