Based on Eureka's involvement, I'm guessing you're going on a big camping trip.  |

Re: 2012 Mazda 3i Touring 5-Door Specifications
Did Mazda ever resolve the clutch wear issue with previous 3's? I was looking into them a month or so ago...mostly out of idle curiosity...and read a huge number of posts complaining of clutches going out early (30,000mi) for no apparent reason. It sounded like there may have been some relationship to bad motor mounts, but it's hard to tell. Does anybody know enough to confirm or quash that concern?

Hi Tim:
The Mazda3 i with SKYATIV-G and the SKYATIV-MT uses a new clutch and manual transmission assembly so any link to the past would be a step. I will let you know more about the new MT after 30 or so thousand shifts in the next 30 or so days

Re: 2012 Mazda 3i Touring 5-Door Specifications
Hi Andrew:
I tried to have Mike out on this one but it is going to be at least 20-days and he does not have the time. I had to schedule this with my son between his summer and fall semesters actually. I am sure you can imagine what that is going to be like
