Kinja'd!!!

Got bored and decided to upgrade the missus Mazda3 wheels (BL) to the latest Mazda3 wheels off the new Sp25 (BN). 16 vs 18 inch, looks really good in real life, obviously looks like its riding higher now, but that was expected :)

2.5 years and 40k km later, this car has required nothing more than oil/filter changes. Such a reliable little fun car.

4.5 years and 48K miles on my Mazda5, and the only thing it needed outside of regular maintenance were a couple of motor mounts, covered under warranty. It still kind of freaks me out as I’m not used to reliable vehicles.

Those wheels look pretty sharp. I’m probably going to go with some 17s off of a Mazda6; there’s a 5-spoke design I really like that would look pretty nice, albeit understated, but I like stealth.

My Mazda needed a thermostat at 35k, and I just did its first brake job at 66k. Otherwise zero unscheduled maintenance.

that’s cool - it makes the whole car look smaller.
