MAZDASPEED3 4-cyl

  • 48,805 miles
Most cars have two horn tones, a "low" and a "high." For the us market, the mazda3/speed3 deletes the "low" tone. The remaining "high" tone is too weak to be heard by surrounding motorists. I have added an aftermarket low tone and have lost count of how many times this upgrade has prevented a crash. Which makes me wonder how the NHTSA allowed Mazda to sell cars in the us with such worthless horns?
