 Bought this car used with 20,000 mi.  LOVED this car, how it drove how it looked, the amount of room.  But after about a year every few months we had to replace something: the clutch, the shocks, tires (2x), and air box system.  Finally the engine in the car blew due to a cracked seal that caused the oil to leak dry(the oil was changed every 3000 mi).  the carpeting is coming off in the cabin area and the drivers side speaker goes in and out. So we are getting rid of the car (after taking a huge hit on the loan) and never buying another mazda.
