Hi Mazda 3 liftback owners , I'm planning to buy one soon and can you tell me what are the known issues for this car?
*
my ownership in 1.5 years

-not senior citizen friendly, not so family friendly.
-piano black center console easy scratch, meter panel SUPER easy to have micro scratches. i wash my car myself, it still scratches even if im super careful, but i dont bother about it already.
-ignite black rims are pain in the ass to clean.
-SC wise so far i claimed new water pump in less than 2 months of ownership, buzzing/frog sound. claimed without any hassle.

u can get TPU film to protect the Piano black center console, including the infotainment panel. no scratchers can be seen.

as above reply mentioned, just get the TPU film and apply onto it, it will cover all the scratches. Same issue on CX30

Mazda actually only recommend to blow of the dust from the panel doh.gif
