New Car Project 2015 – Part 7
Three months into our Mazda 3, and a quick note on how the now less relatively new ride has been faring! Auto-sensing screen wipers: still a little temperamental, but more often than not – as in maybe 3 out of
New Car Project 2015 – Part 6
We’ve been driving our new ride for almost a month now, and not surprisingly, we’ve learned to live with some of the little issues that we found annoying earlier on – and a couple other things that we didn’t notice
