The 2010 Mazda 3 was made 100% in Japan. Over there quality control is 10x more stricter than that of the United States.
Even though many disagree... The smile in the front of the 3 is in reality a "grin". Mazda designs vehicles that keep drivers want to test their vehicles and continue driving them.
Received a low interest rate for purchasing a 2010 Mazda 3. In August 2009 it was at 3.9%APR and in October 2009 2.9%APR. Great financing offer.
