Re: First Timer- Please be gentle

After 2.5 weeks I'm at about 7.0l/100 in an auto. Mixed city and freeway driving.

Re: Bluetooth weirdness; seriously weird stuff

But I bet if I walk into the carpark next time and the phone's ON at the time I switch on, it will balls up again. It's such a bizarre issue. Well, I walked in today with a lot on my mind... forgot to have the phone turned OFF... but the car connected to it. Variable, it was parked on the roof, not...

Re: Extended warranty

My car is now over 3 years old and out of warranty. Does anyone have any experience or advice on extended warranty. Mazda are quoting £390 a year for their Complete Cover with no pricing for their other presumably lower priced options available. That's a fair chunk of change, annually, for vehicles...

Re: Bluetooth weirdness; seriously weird stuff

I didn't check networks. I will next time I am there. This past visit I started the car with the phone OFF, then switched it on (without moving the car), and again got a good connection. But I bet if I walk into the carpark next time and the phone's ON at the time I switch on, it will balls up again...

Re: Bluetooth weirdness; seriously weird stuff

If you drove from work for a couple of miles, stopped & turned your phone & car off, waited a minute, reboot your phone and then start your car, what happens? I hadn't seen your post, but this afternoon I walked into the car park with the phone OFF, then started up and drove a few blocks. T...

Re: Bluetooth weirdness; seriously weird stuff

Is there likely to be any interference etc where you park your car during the day and affects the Bluetooth when you start the car in the afternoons? That's a good question. It's just a regular parking garage and past cars haven't been affected... but that doesn't mean it can't happen. And indeed, ...

Re: Just Joined - Just Ordered

Been told it is going to be subject to the 2018 face lift. And that's no bad thing, really. It's enough to freshen things up, and will help with your resale in the future. But at the same time, it's nothing profound that really changes the vehicle from what everyone already loves. Best of both worl...

Bluetooth weirdness; seriously weird stuff

I love using my iPhone with my cars over Bluetooth. Have been doing it for years, multiple models. So when I got my CX-3 recently, I paired my phone, and Bluetooth worked like a charm all that weekend. This included lots of stepping away from the car. Sometimes the phone would be turned off. Sometim...

Re: CX-3 in Sydney

Thanks for the welcome guys. Mazda has always done pretty well in Australia. Indeed, as I understand it, we are the best-performing market for Mazda per capita , and the fourth largest overall (behind United States, Japan and Europe) regardless of population. Which, for a country of only 22 million-...
