2010 Mazda 3 RECALL...Already..
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls...rue&refurl=rss
MAZDA IS RECALLING 25,400 MY 2010 MAZDA 3 VEHICLES. A CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE ENGINE HARNESS AND THE HOUSING OF STARTER MOTOR MAY BE INSUFFICIENT. DUE TO THIS, THE COVERING OF THE HARNESS MAY BE DAMAGED THROUGH VIBRATION DURING OPERATION POSSIBLY CAUSING A SHORT-CIRCUIT BETWEEN CERTAIN HARNESS WIRES AND THE STARTER HOUSING. A SHORT-CIRCUIT CAN RESULT IN ENGINE CONTROL MALFUNCTION AND/OR POOR SHIFT QUALITY.
THE MAIN FUSE MAY BLOW OUT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND INABILITY OF RESTART, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL HAVE THE ENGINE HARNESS INSPECT AND ADD A PROTECTOR CLIP ON THE AFFECTED SECTION OF THE HARNESS. IF NECESSARY, THE HARNESS WILL BE REPAIRED.
************************************************** **************
SECOND RECALL...for IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL.

It's really not that bad, and good that Mazda gets right onto the issue, I think this will be a world wide recall.
The car was just released here (Australia) last week, so I am tipping most of the cars will be checked and modded before a new car is delivered.
The new 3 has not even gone on-sale in Japan yet!
BTW, I checked out from a distance at my dealers show room the new Celestial Blue 3, it is very bright color and different!

. It's good to hear that they're popping up "everywhere" though.

^Indeed, I wasn't sure how your average motorist would take the smile.
Good thing they found while most are still/just arriving at dealerships and not in driveways.

I give up. I GIVE UP DAMN IT @@@@@@ !
I would rather try to get a boring Automatic car than die.
(Notice, she is not driving my 8, YAY!)

My girl just learned how to drive stick, (she's kind of dumb too) lol
Coz my AT8 was fixing, and my MX-3 is stick, and I borrowed another stick Jetta1.8T, she had to learn, and she did it

I don't really understand why Mazda has yet to release a Mazdapseed version of the new 3 yet. I would have seriously considered making my girlfriend get one of the new ones. However she went and got a new Cobalt SS/TC. I have to admit, I was shamed when she destroyed my 8 at the track the other day.

and the next speed 3 will probably come as 2011 model. (they STILL have 2008 model left @ some dealership!)

I bet you the revised version isn't going to be all that different. The only thing that would be better in the car is if the turbos didnt face plant after 5700rpm.
