Hi All,

I recently purchased a second hand import 2001 Mazda Capella ZI Sedan from Japan.

I noticed immediately that the ride was quite hard & hash especially on coarse rough tarmac and the road noise exceptionally load, louder than locally assemled cars. I hear that roads in Japan are made of concrete and are like silk compared to our tar/stone chipped roads.

Any advice on what I can do about softening the ride and reducing that annoying road noise?

Also, is this a common trait in these types of Mazda cars?

Thanks for your advice & comments.
