r/mazda3

This is near the driver side foot rest and has been missing since i bought my 2015 mazda 3. I've been searching using the name interior fuse cover but not of the results seem to fit this shape.

Owned my auto fwd gen-4 since Oct-25. Dealership did an oil change and service in august-25. The car has been driven less than 7500km (4660mi), and i need to go for a 400km (250mi) today. Will I be fine if I get my service done asap upon returning, or is this in the risky territory?

Some background:

- my car is mostly city driven (90%-10%)
- shorter driving intervals- ~30mins
- went on a roadtrip a month ago, and got an ‘low oil’ light which went away
- Mazda says we need to get an oil change and service once a year or after 16000kms (10000mi)

Hello,
I’ve been working on a driving app called Speedometer: Driving Tracker for a while, and it recently got approved for CarPlay in the Driving Task category.

That approval process is surprisingly strict - very limited UI, no custom buttons, and a strong focus on safety; so getting through it meant a lot.

The app originally started as a simple speedometer, but over time, I expanded it into something more like a driving companion. It tracks trips, shows analytics, and tries to make driving data more visual instead of just numbers.

Some things it currently supports:

• Trip tracking with detailed stats
• Route playback (including 3D-style views)
• Visual trip sharing
• Fuel, maintenance, and expense tracking
• Driving pattern insights and comparisons
• Video recording with speed + map overlays
• iCloud sync across devices and backup
• Privacy-focused (no ads or tracking)

The idea is to offer something beyond what most built-in dashboards show, while still working within CarPlay’s limitations.

Would love to hear any thoughts or feedback.

I got a 2013 3 itr 6A recently (170k mi) and it felt very slow, like unnaturally slow. I did some 0-60 tests and the fastest I got with no TC and brake torque was 10.5s 0-60, and online the slowest 0-60s I saw for these are high 8s. Feels completely gutless under like 3k rpm too. Could this be due to dirty valves? I already cleaned the maf and changed the intake filter. Also struggling to average over 20mpg even when driving suuuper conservatively.

So I went to get my oil changed at the Mazda dealership and was recommended these services, what do you yal think about it and should I actually consider any of the services soon or near future based off my mileage 44,606

My son got a 3 carbon edition yesterday, and when I drove it I already fell in love. I never thought Mazdas were so fun to drive, it made me feel young again, and it wasn't even the turbo version.

Mazda 3 e skyactiv x 2025 13.5k Km. Is this high pitched noise normal and the ticking sound? Help guys, im planning to buy it.

Hi friends, what are some of your favorite tips, secrets or products to keep your car in its best state? I did both a carnauba wax followed by a polymer sealant this weekend, and my 2018 soul red is looking ready for summer! Also did as much as the interior as I could before the heat dictated I stop- windows, wiped down dashboard, vents and doors, and treated/wiped down the seats, and vacuumed. I tried a new wax today, Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax, and Meguiar’s Ultimate Liquid Wax (an old favorite). But I almost always revert back to the same items and routine. What am I missing out on?

my first vehicle was a 2004 3 sedan. I've had 2 vehicles since that one and have missed it since the day I traded it off. decided I needed another 3 and couldn't be happier

Does keeping the halos on during the day cause any problems in the long run? I like the way they look and am aware that all other marker lights remain on but don’t really like the OEM drl or low beams during the day
