 I've owned this car for over 5 years 
and had only 1 small issue before 
80,000. In the last 8 months, over $2K 
in repairs. O2 sensor, cat. converter, 
distributor, 2 exhaust manifolds, and 
the list goes on. Very underpowered. 
Decent fuel economy with auto, 30-34. 
Seat makes my back ache. Some rusting 
at the seams. Bland exterior styling. 
Inside is nice. Good car overall, until 
the repairs started. Hope it can hold 
out for another 1-2 years. Would buy a 
new one but sell it by 80,000. My next 
mazda will be a gsl-se.
