    Yes, it's a form of traction control, Ford calls it Automatic Stability Program.

    Traction control is a brake and throttle aid. Stability control is a steering aid.

    No. Stability control utilizes the brakes to prevent excess yaw from building up. In other words, it selectively brakes individual wheels to prevent oversteer or understeer. Similar effect, but variable assist and ratio steering is closer to steering dampers. On the better cars, variable assist steering drops steering boost at highway speeds for better tracking, and variable ratio steering makes the ratio longer, so that small steering inputs have less effect.

    Still unknown. Traditionally, Toyotas have higher resale values, but you never know, the Mazda3 broke the trend, the Mazda2 and Fiesta, if they become popular enough, might also follow the upmarket trend of resale value.

    the only reason that mazda 3 is holding its resale value is because mazda still havent got a newer model. when mazda comes out with a new mazda 3, that resale value would go down. if your comparing it to the altis and civic out there, youll notice that even a one year difference of the ES body vs FD body, the resale is very different. once a newer model of the mazda 3 comes out, that resale value would drop dramatically.

    as everyone can see, the ES body is at par with the resale value of mazda 3. that is, even if the FD body came out while mazda havent came out with a newer model
