Kiewan's 2019 MT LX sedan

[Kiewan]

Hey, I'm Kieran and I picked up my 2019 LX sedan in MT in January and love it so far.

I'm coming from a slightly modified 2008 Mazda3 GS 2.0L sedan which died in December so this is a huge leap for me in terms of technology and comfort. My head gasket went at 240K km & the head was split so it would have cost way too much to fix it so it was scrapped. I was/am an active member on TorontoMazda3.com so I would like to do the same here & learn as much as I can on my new car.

It's a 3 year lease so I won't be modifying it at all besides window tint and summer rims. I tinted the windows 35% sides, 20% rear and bought new 17" Fast wheels: Switch in Titanium finish with Bridgestone Potenza tires (forgot which exact model, similar to my old RE760S).

It a manual which is absolutely amazing so far and I love all the tech it comes with (my old car didn't even have cruise).

I'm really happy with my lease and hope to learn a lot here and contribute in time.

Thanks

Here's what my civic will approximately look like with the rims.

Another picture of my old Mazda and it's death... Well at least I do think have to deal with anymore rust

Also info on my old Mazda if anyone is interested. I loved & Learned a lot from that car. I will NOT be modding my Honda as it's leased and I will return it after 3 years. Just tints and summer rims/tires. That's it.

I have a 2.0L 2017 MT
I haven’t done anything either... just tint and wheels.
Personally I don’t like the wheels in your pic, but it might look diff on the car.
This is what mine looks like.

I have snow tires on the steel rims it came with, so I was just looking for an OEM-ish rim. I wanted the black ones but I got the silver for a really good price. Anything is better than steelies.

Do you have any feedback on the Bridgestone Potenzas?
