 Automatic transmission died at 110,000 miles.This is pretty unacceptable for anyone looking for reliable transportation considering cars from most other makers don't have this problem.I baught this car used and did my research.I got it well taken care of and I continued regular maintenence(all fluids regularly changed including trans fluid)Changed timing belt and water pump etc.There were some minor repairs like the alternator and an intake hose too.But then the transmission started slipping and I took it to a mazda specialist. He said this was unfortunatly a common problem for these cars.
