Consumer Description

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? *TR
