 I have owned this Mazda for 3 years.  Its a good car.  Engine is quite and peppy.  Very reliable.  Just add gas, change to oil regulary and go.  The thing that gets me about it the cheap and tough to clean interrior.  In typical Japanese automotive fashion, its cheap and plastic. The cloth on the sests attract any dirt and I always have to use a sweater shaver on them to get rid of the fuzzballs the fabric makes.  The fabric trim on the door came loose. (Repaired under warranty) The carpet is difficult to vacuum, hold objects like velcro. The air conditioning could use more power. The horn needs a boost too. The windshield wipers need a intermittent adj. The tires wore out at 30,000 miles.
