if you still want a reliable old school torque converter 6-speed auto on a commuter car, Mazda still sticks with them. And they're good!

Please, genuine alternators are only like $30 more and you won't suffer these issues. And also they last.
I'd go with the OEM Mazda Oil Filters but any high quality synthetic 0w20 will work fine.
Front windshield just get the Mazda one, you won’t find one that fits better
At 55,XXX miles and still haven’t changed my brakes on 2019 AWD Mazda 3(not as heavy as yours but heavier than a FWD 3) Last service, I was in the green for both sets still, but they said I would likely be in “yellow” by 60-65k. I did want to note—I hear no scraping/squealing and brakes feel relatively strong just not as great as new.
After reading several posts I got the Mazda Molly and Personally really like it! With the Molly it seems to run much quieter not such a heavy tick and just overall feels better’
Not nearly as bad as some of the others listed here, but absurd for what it is: cabin air filter for a first-gen Mazda3.
Just a shitty alternator
gen 1 gen2 VVT issue when the timing chains where stretching.
Mazda. Brakes. Suck. I’ve owned 2 6s. A 2018 and a 2021. Both needed brakes at around 20k. DO NOT REPLACE WITH MAZDA OE BRAKES. Or you’ll just be in the same boat again. Buy a set of PowerStops and be done with it.
