WHYYYY don't cars keep things uniform. Example - I have a 2000 Mazda 626. Gas tank on driver's side. This week, I'm driving a 2004 Mazda 3 - gas tank on passenger side. WHYYYYYYY

no offense but that car won't last long. Mazda uses a lot of cheap parts to persuade people to buy them thinking they are going to get all kinds of stuff like HP, Acceleration and "power steering".

blame it on the american parts
