Mazda 3 Steering & Suspension Questions

I don't think Ford owns Mazda. Ford own's 33% of Mazda in total stock, but that is it. I say this because it was in another forum about this discussion, even this forum talked about it. Many people said that Ford does not own Mazda. Who knows?

This is the statement that this forum made in March, 2007:

"Does anyone feel that there is any difference, say an improvement or a degradation in any way with Mazda, whether it's customer service, management style or reliability because Ford owns Mazda?"

Before we dive too far out on this topic, is everyone aware that Ford does NOT own Mazda?

Ford owns a controlling stake (about 33%) of Mazda; that is a bit different from actually OWNING Mazda.

Just thinking that if anyone could get the part they could.

That would be nice and is a great concept. I wonder if the dealers are listening. They could actually learn some thing from us.

If anyone got the speed 3 suspension upgrades let me know what you think, i.e. handling improvements, rough ride, etc.

i have a Mazda 3 2.0 liter and i have had 3 pumps in this car i`m thinking of getting a 1.8 or 1.6 version as sick of replacing the pump
the design is crap and the waterproofing is not good too i love the car but 3 pumps in 2 years is just unbelievable.

You're out of luck; the 1.6L or 1.8L Mazda3 is not in North America. Now, if you're in Europe ...

Ok, so this is our first year having our Mazda3 in the snow. It sucks. Don't know if it is the tires, or just the way the car handles in the winter. I would love to hear about others and their experiences with their 3 in the snow and ice. Thanks.
