RainX Latitude were my favorite with my Mazda 6. They run about $40-50 for the pair, maybe less since the 3 uses smaller blades, and last a long time and work very well.

Bridgestone blizzak ws80 or Michelin X-ice3.
I use Mobil 1 synthetic 0w20 with Mobil1 M1-209 screw-on filter for the 2012. I've been doing this for these cars since they were new. We don't put too many miles/year on these cars and so I change the oil every fall and every spring. Never had a problem.
Back in March I got fed up with the B5 platform shenanigans and started shopping for a Subaru... Upon entering the Mazda dealer, I got the typical \"We don't have the exact one you want in manual, but we do have this...\" and I decided to humor the salesman. Lo and behold, a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 appeared before me... With 263 ponies and 280 ft/pounds of I could dead, the MS3 has proven itself to be the best possible car that a 23 year old male could own.
I've been using Mobil 1 5W30 since I bought this car. My car has been tuned to my K04 and fuel limits for years and it's heavily abused daily. At 60K I'm still rocking 180psi compression, no turbo issues or VVT issues. As long as you change your oil regularly you should be fine, just stick to synthetics.
Koni shocks are the best you can get without spending 3.5k on a set of racing coil-overs. I have them, yes they are that good
The original Dunlops (can't remember exact tire now) on the RX8 were useless below 35 degrees. I couldn't even take off gingerly without the traction control and ESC lights going crazy. But in the warm they were quite good.
That exact same thing happened to my 2014 CX-5 GT. Toyo's warranty is no good, they ask you to ship the tires for them to evaluate warranty claims, ended up throwing them out and getting Pirellis.
The negatives with EBC Yellow stuff is that they produce a HUGE amount of dust, and eat through rotors quickly. I had them on my wifes CX-9 with a set of their drilled and slotted rotors, they were horrible! The rotors had a vibration at anything over 45mph, and the dust they created was ridiculous.
