 2007 model The only issue was one recall dealers are great much better than my chevy. This was my second Mazda My other was a Mazda 3 purchased new in 2013. I purchased this for my daughter was a wonderful car until a teen driver ran a stop sign and t-boned it. It was hit so hard (in the drivers door) it ripped the rear outer door off! thank god for side air bags. Not even a bruise. I'm convinced if this were not as solid of a car there would of been a different outcome. it rode and drove as solid as my 2013. Even though it was six years older. I'm looking for another.
