I just recently bought a 2004 Mazda 3i. I'm not a pro. when it comes to manuals,but i was wondering if 3000RPM at 70MPH is normal for the 3's. If not, what can I do to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds about right, what's the problem?

i'm assuming that your in 5th gear.

any lower rpm and the motor would struggle to make enough torque.

Small engine, so at highway speeds its gonna be at higher Rpm's than a V6 or bigger.
