Loud Engine

[Hall_Girl]

I just got my new Mazda3i last week, and it seems to be pretty loud when starting the car. Is this normal?

Can you be more descriptive?

Does it also idle loud?

[beinkken]

only when it starts??

[Hall_Girl]

When I the engine turns over it seems really loud for a second. Also during acceleration after I am stopped. It might be normal, but I am paranoid about my new car because of all the problems I had with the old one.

On contrary, I can say Mz3 2.3 is quite quiet... so you may want to check with the dealer, or let's get together on next 3rd...

I own both a 3 i and a 3s 5dr. Mine are not what I would consider loud on startup. Just drive it. If it breaks take it in for warranty work. If you get any sh$t from the dealer contact Mazda direct from their website. They will make it right.

Mine is pretty quiet on startup too. Check with the dealer, make sure you test a couple cars in the lot too. Seems like some of the U.S cars are running rough judging by the comment on various post.

it could also just be cold weather.

We've had temperature in the -20 to -30C range all January. Startup was never a problem. Thank god spring is finally here
