 I have bought 10 cars in my 35 years of driving (2 car family).  This was by far the worst.  This was the most expensive at $35k and only made it 87k miles before engine went bad.  It is also well known (but covered up) that Mazda failed in the development of this vehicle and refused to stand behind it.  Imagine having a 'fancy' car like this that was a small four cylinder turbo getting 22 mpg highway?  The turbo and VVT goes bad every 40k miles ($4.5k) while having tires ($2k) and brakes ($1k) ware out every 30k miles.  Electronics had impossible to fix glitches killing batteries.  When the car died the Mazda certified dealership repair shop took 4 weeks to even determine it needed a new engine.  First they tried to pass off a $4.5k repair bill claiming it was fixed and I insisted on a test drive....,with technician in car and a one mile drve car engine light came on and acceleration issues resumed and began smoking  (very dangerous).  The technicians told me these cars were a piece of garbage and it could not be fixed.  I sold it to junk car dealer directly from their front lot...imagine a pristine looking 5 year old car finished being picked up by cars for cash.  At the same time I have a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer with 150k miles that never needs any repairs, a 2008 Kia Sportage with 250k miles never having costly problems and now a 2016 Ford Fusion with 55k miles that hasn't needed a single thing but oil change.  Buying and then dealing with Mazda was my only mistake in buying a car in 35 years.  The class action lawsuit was beat in court by a bias judge and Mazdas high priced lawyers.
