2004 Mazda 3 S desan review from North America
"Great car; unlike other in its class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A riddle inside the front driver and passenger doors and they still cannot find the problem. Maintenance cost is higher than Honda. Goodyear Eagle RS-A is really awful and cause my front wheels to slip a lot in wet condition.
General comments?
The car has a great handling, very nice and modern interior. CD player is great. Steering is precise and all the convenient features you need are in this car.
