eh, its not as "flat" a fee as that. but its the same deal autobytel,
sams, and AAA get.

Bold looks and fun drive aside. It will be a cold day in
hell before I ever buy another Mazda product.

I was reading Edmunds.com forums on Mazda 3 and it looks like a lot of
people are having serious issues with brake rotors and pads, and also
A/C. NHTSA 's website has also got a lot of complaints about both.
Gerald, in terms of reliability, what kind of issues have you had so
far? Do you own a Mazda 3?
