I've used Delphi plenty of times and I'm always impressed by their quality for the money. Delphi should be fine for the Sedan.
Pros: good quality for money

The Mazda 3 I purchased 6 months ago part of the purchase was replacement of the windshield. They installed a Pilkington; it has the HUD logo and no issues. Yes you need to have the camera calibrated as part of the deal.
Pros: HUD logo present, no issues
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I've seen good results online.
For 2 dollars more than the regular high mileage offering, I figured it was worth the risk.
I am doing a couple of oil changes with it (1k, 2.5k, 5k), and am hoping to see some evidence of it working on my 190k Mazda 3.
Pros: good results online
Cons: worth the risk
Vehicle:

Mileage: 1000 km
If it still streaks you probably need new blades. Bosch are the best IMHO.
Pros: Bosch are the best

In my 2012 with the 2.5L engine, I replaced my spark plugs with Bosch Iridium (#96302), around 90K miles. It's been great since.
Pros: great performance
I use 5w-30 Valvoline Restore & Protect, I’m from the SoCal low desert region. Never had an issue, changed every 5,000 miles (nearly once a months cause I commute so much for work).
Pros: no issues, reliable performance
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 202777 km
I personally am changing my own oil with full synthetic on my 23 2.5T every 6000 km or so. No need other than peace of mind for me. Doing it myself only takes 30 minutes and $35 in oil, filter and crush washer.
Pros: peace of mind

Surprisingly, it needed brake pads and rotors at 21k miles, and at $1,100 at a trusted local mechanic, it wasn't as cheap as I expected. When I bought the car with 1,400 miles on it, the piano black trim inside the car was already scratched, and it looks quite a bit worse now. I also have to echo the thin paint comments from above, I've never seen a car that scratches so easily. The car's manners on the highway at 70 mph+ are a little nervous for me. On the plus side, I've always enjoyed the way the car looks and drives around town. The interior does look way better than the original MSRP would suggest (even with scratches). And we've had no surprising issues, other than the early brake job.
Pros: enjoyed the way car looks
Cons: thin paint, scratches easily

I’ve had my 3 for 4 years and I’m on my 3rd battery.
Cons: short lifespan, 3rd battery in 4 years

Basically many of the oem stock items for mazda are fine, but have notoriously short life expectancy. They have to cut corners somewhere. Battery and tires are the ones I've noticed that are good for a couple years at most before they are ran through. So yeah, I've had a mazda thay needed a new battery after 2 years, one that needed a new battery after 3 years. Just how they go.
Cons: notoriously short life, lasts 2-3 years
