Where did you pick up your hydro-shield?

In the aforementioned six-car comparo, the Mazda 3 s was quickest to 30 mph, to 60 mph, to 100 mph, and through the quarter-mile. In that group, it also racked up the surest skidpad grip, the fastest lane-change speed, and the shortest stopping distance—168 feet from 70 mph, hip-deep in...
