My wife got this car about 5 years ago when she was still in college and it has been rock solid the whole time. Being 6'2" tall, it's a little small for my taste, but it's perfect for her. It rides pretty rough, exactly what you want from a small car that really grips the road. Gas mileage is decent (upper 20's), but leaves a little bit to be desired for a car this size. I guess something has to give if you want it to perform the way this little Mazda does. It has good acceleration and even passing power on the highway thanks to the high revving V6. All around a very dependable fun to drive little car.
Good Car

I bought this car right out of high school. It has been great for me. It handles great and zoops around, very fun to drive. I've loved this car, I've driven almost into the ground several times with no oil for a week. I have had problems with the battery though. And I love the hatchback!
great buy for import sports enthusiast

this car is, as all mazdas, is a great car. its reliable and takes a lot of abuse. i bought mine used from an individual who kept up with it pretty well. but since i've had it, i've had to replace the distributor (135$ at the junkyard) and spark plug wires (40$ at autozone). unfortunately, i let it run too hot trying to get it home after running out of coolant - the motor still runs strong, but it knocks like crazy. i'll be taking it to the mazda dealership for a diagnostic. so far they are guessing that is may be the lifters, if so, i will swap the motor with a KLZE for more horsepower, that is my only complaint on this car, why they put a 1.8L V6 and not a 2.5L V

This has been the best car I have ever owned. I've had no major repairs or maintenance fees. I generally just keep the oil changed and regular $50 tune-ups. I'm beggining to have problems with the air conditioning and the automatic seatbelts. I have logged 140k and it's never stopped on me(knock on wood).
zips beautifully

I bought this car as a senior in high school, it was economical and had great gas mileage. I havnt had problems with it until recently- the battery has lost ability to charge a few times, fan belt keeps snapping, and the Air Conditioner refuses to get fixed. I love the handling and the rougher ride- I feel like i'm in a tire commercial on a winding road. Acceleration is decent, I have the auto trans. but would have preferred a manual. Turning is easy at high speeds, it likes to hug the road and zips around heavy SUV's like its nothing. This is the only car i've been sentimental about- I dont know why. Its a great car for new/young drivers.
