2004 Mazda 3 S review from North America
"Awesome quality for the price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I dont like about the car are the tires, they aren't good in the snow. I would prefer Firestones, but they are really expensive for the size.
When the sunroof is open there is alot of wind noise. Bought a visor and it's fine now.
Really wish there was a trunk release of the key fob but that's ok. (I think they made that standard with the 2005 model.)
General comments?
This is my first new car and I'm so glad I bought it! I love everything about this car.
Stereo is good but I would like more bass. Love the 6-cd changer though!
Handles great
Shifts and rides so smoothly.
Seats are comfortable.
Like the looks of the interior; I got the black/red and it looks hot!
Tons of options.
All-weather floor mats are a must!
It's a great looking car and turns a lot of heads!
