 I've loved this car for the past 9 years that I have owned it.  The tires have been the greatest disappointment...expensive to replace when I had to replace them after the first 30,000 miles.  (Dunlop has a set that fits and lasts much longer...however still at $120.00/piece)  Zoom zoom zoom is very true..I love this car during the summer here in WI..it grips the roads and I can fly!  In the winter I need to change modes and respect what the season brings. I love the 60/40 back seat split as I take my xc skis and boating gear with me often.  Overall, I'm going to miss my Mazda and hope my "new" Subaru treats me 1/2 as good.  (needed room for more gear and a puppy)
