My first big complaint: The engine oil dipstick is useless. It's got this retarded little "well" which makes it nearly impossible to read. Do other Mazda's have these same retarded dipsticks? I had a completely flat dipstick in my Ford Taurus which was easy as hell to read ... I'm completely flummoxed on how to read the engine oil levels on the Mazda 3's dipstick. The damn thing showed "low" so I put in another quart of engine oil... and this flooded my engine (which caused the car problems last weekend).

I'll have to take a few pictures so you get an idea of what I'm talking about.
