 Detailed review:

Only five days after purchasing my Mazda 3 it had to be towed back to the dealer because it wouldn't start. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump and also needed some other part fixed. Now, five months later it is making some strange sound like a belt is loose or something. I will be taking it back in this afternoon. Also, the oil filter is not aligned properly so my husband couldn't even change the oil in it. We had to take it in for that too. What a lemon!! I wish I could get rid of it but the trade in value is only $13,000 when we paid $21,000 just five months ago. We should have got the Volvo!!
