| I have a faulty paint job. there is multiple spots that are flaking including on the trunk. there isn't a single dent in the car. i took it in they said they sent it off to mazda but no one else complained about this so tough luck. *tr | |||

| Paint of inferior quality. vehicle paint finish appears normal in medium to dim lighting. however, under bright lighting, microscratches are apparent over the entire vehicle. new car stock at the dealer i purchased from as well as another dealer in the state shows the same defects. *tr | |||

| No accident - - the camber setting on the rear wheels of the mazda 3 causes excessive tire wear on the inside of the tire. mazda dealers act like they are unaware and blame poor tire rotation. it is difficult to detect as the outside of the tire looks fine, but the inside of the tire where the contact is actually being made is slick and may actually lead to a blow-out, thus an accident. *tr | |||
