Christy, I've heard that the paint on the Mazda3 is very soft and likes to get rock chips.




Unfortunately, this problem isn't confined to just the Mazda3. My Mazda6 has gotten more paint chips in it in 7 months than my Contour has gotten in 7 years. I get one good chip in the hood about every 4 weeks.
