I'm pretty sure that modern Mazda's do do this, only not in the situation you're describing. They use it for their stop start system to save having to fit a beefier starter motor and what not, simply inject an extra dose of fuel and fire the spark plug to get the engine going again.
I got some $50 Sumitomos on Tirerack for my current beater because I couldn't be bothered to spend more money on this car. Nevertheless, they have not failed me in the wet, snow or sleet.
Upgraded the tires late last year to Federal 595 RSR, they are $300 INSTALLED at a local shop, which is crazy cheap IMO. The car grips so well.
I used to run Nitto NT01s all around my car. Now I run Toyo R888r in the from and BF-Goodrich G-force sport comp 2 in the rear (amazing tire).
I've had pretty great results from Eneos Sustina in my 2017 3.
Buy an OEM thermostat from Mazda. The aftermarket ones are sometimes not identical.
Tires make more difference than anything. I too bought at used Mazda 3, and thought: "Oooh, this is dodgy in the rain . . ."
Then I got better tires (summers and winters) and realized: "Ohhh, I just had terrible tires."
Only reason I got these rotors for my 6 was because my stock rotors were warped as shit and have been shaved multiple times. They look great and perform decently, no problems so far.
K&N filter is not as good as OE and just about expensive.
Falken Ziex 512s ( I don't think they are available anymore) are the most trash tires I've had. Terrible grip, terrible life.
