The paint chips very easily. The hood is very pitted. Titanium flash pearl. This paint color was an extra cost too. Since initial ownership, it has just become so bad over the ownership period, that I can't touch it up any more. Extremely reliable car otherwise. I purchased the car new.

I am noticing excessive paint chips on the hood and front fenders of my 2017 Mazda 3. the paint is: Soul red crystal paint. I have not noticed or heard road debris hit the car. The car has about 23000 miles. The paint seems very thin. I have noticed other Mazda owners with this paint having similar issues. Perhaps these cars should be recalled and be repainted. I have submitted a photo - there is one dent right front fender from a rock that did hit the car over a year ago, but the chips were not there.

Windshield has multiple ripples from the driver and passenger side pillars to 6 inches in. This condition causes eye strain while driving. I have to look out of the side window to clear/ reset my eyes, then, look though the rippled windshield. This issue has been going on since day 1 (2 months in) and no resolution. Potential cause for accident due to having to not face forward. Issue occurs at any stage of operation, day time is worse than night. Weather conditions no not change issue.
