Our Mazzy was my wife's car (purchased used) from 29,000-56,000 miles and there has not once been an issue of any negative sort, only smiles and excitement. We've driven the car across the entire continental states and can only commend its taut responses, thorough feel and a connection with pure motoring passion. Though I do believe that the entire turbo unit applied to this MZR engine is a bit rubbish. The car seems to still move quite efficiently but the turbo has long since expired in its duties. :-( Currently there is the need for moderate powertrain 'make-over' including the rebuild of said turbo system, but otherwise an utterly reliable, efficient and fun source of transportation!

I farbrikate cars for a livin and Mazdas are some of the cheapest proformance cars out there. If it is the Miata to the Rx-8(which is nice)I found the Mazdaspeed Protege is one of the nicest compact proformance car for your money. The RX-8 may be better and roomy for a 4dr. Coupe????? But the Protege is a lot cheaper (over 7,000)I fabracated 7 Mazdas know and i think there fine the way they are. The only thin that bothers me is that ford makes them. I am a Chevy man not a wussy Ford guy with a f-150 Lightning. The protege has a suprisinly good handling and great aceleration. If u read my review please go with the MazdaSpeed Protege or the RX-8.

I just bought this car about a week ago. This is without a doubt the best purchase that I have made in my life! The handling is awesome! What's also cool is that I got the car for $18,200 out the door (the 2003.5 just came out). This car is well worth the money. With the amount of money that I had to spend, I was either going to get a Civic SI or the Mazdaspeed. I'm very happy with the choice that I made.
