The dealer performed an oil change, rotated the tires and inspected the battery, fluids, and belts for a total cost of $54.37. As with previous visits, everything checked out fine and our Mazda continues with a flawless reliability record and affordable dealer services. Now, with spring just showing its face in Michigan, we need to swap out the winter tires on the 17-inch aluminum wheels. In their place, we'll remount the factory Yokohama Avid S34 tires. It's been a long winter for our Mazda 3 drivers as the Continental Extreme Winter Contacts compromised ride, handling, and straight-line stability. Adding to the frustration was a relatively mild winter with only a few snow dumps where we really wanted snow tires.inline_mediumwraptextright26071457/reviews/12_month_car_reviews/1003_2010_mazda_mazda3_s_sport_5_door_march_20100911_09_z+2010_mazda3_vS_mazdaspeed3+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue</p><br /> Photo Gallery: <a href="/reviews/12_month_car_reviews/1003_2010_mazda_mazda3_s_sport_5_door_march_2010/index.html">2010 Mazda3 s Sport 5-Door - March 2010 Four Seasons Review - Automobile Magazine</a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="/reviews/12_month_car_reviews/1003_2010_mazda_mazda3_s_sport_5_door_march_2010">Read More</a> |
