Fortunately my Mazda 3 is over a decade old and the headlights are actually too dim if anything. I need to polish the housings too. It sucks to hear that they are jumping on the annoying blinding headlight bandwagon along with some other brands though. They seem to do a lot of little things right in their designs.

I've posted a couple times about how I load 8' dimensional lumber into my Mazda3 as well, lol. Usually the people around me are driving their giant trucks and not loading jack shit into them.

yeah you can fit 8ft lumber into a Yaris two door hatchback. it's easier than sticking out the back of a truck bed lmao

I do remember having to polish the headlights on my mazda3, as well as pretty much every car that gets to be over 10-15 years old. the Mazda headlight shape was easy, Subaru's is annoying to sand and polish because of all the curves.

I always enjoy turning heads at home depot when loading up.

it is disappointing about Mazda. they were among the first to go back to physical controls and whatnot. but unfortunately the headlights are a dealbreaker, it's just too goddamn obnoxious and dangerous
