Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 3

The 2011 Mazda 3 is a relatively easy car to maintain, and a good choice for the average car owner. The headlight is no problem to reliably access on this vehicle, as you only have to reach behind the housing for access to the bulb. The engine air filter is easy to replace on this car, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter. Both of the fuse boxes are easy to access on this vehicle. You only need to remove a few covers in order to access the fuses, making electrical troubleshooting much easier on this car.

Not everything is easy on the 2011 Mazda 3. Accessing the cabin air filter is complicated, as you will have to remove a few panels, and use many tools, in order to access the filter. The brake fluid level is difficult to check on this vehicle, as the maximum and minimum fluid levels are tough to see in the engine bay. You will have to use a few tools, and make a tough reach underneath the vehicle, in order to access the fog light. This is tougher access than on other models.
