I bought this vehicle with 120000 miles and have put about another 25000 on it so far. It hasn't burned any oil yet. Also I haul a 22ft cabin cruiser boat that is 500lbs. above the towing capacity it pulls it up the ramp no problem.
worst car i ever owned

i bought a used 91 lx in 1998 and it was the worst car experience i've ever had by a huge margin! a total lemon, left me stranded so many times, i use to refer to it as the paycheck eater. terrible, terrible vehicle! i felt guilty trading it in, i hope they scrapped it and didn't sell it on, i wanted to put it on a target range and let people site in rifles with it for the remainder of its miserable existence. will never go mazda again after that experience.

It's a good truck. I've driven 230,000 miles and it keeps on going. Sure it has it's list of problems, 4WD stopped working, armrest broke, burns a little oil (1qt per 5k miles), but the engine still has most of it's original performance.
220,000 miles in 19 years, still strong

I've used my Navajo for hauling a half ton of tile setting tools and materials, and towing travel trailers for almost 20 years. Aside from a pulsation in the front passenger side brakes that develops like clockwork every 30,000 miles (inevitably requiring machining or replacing the rotors), this has been a fantastic vehicle for me. I change the oil every 3000 miles, and I've done little more than follow the recommended maintenance schedule. I added a quart of Slick 50 Teflon coating 19 years ago at the first oil change(just to see if there was anything behind the hype), and I'm sold. The engine has remained strong and I'm heading for 221,000 miles.
C'mon, it's a Ford Explorer

Ok, I just have to point out that these are exactly the same cars as the Ford Explorer, yet somehow Edmunds has a Consumer rating of 8.3 for the Explorer and 6.6 for the Navajo. For anyone looking, these are EXACTLY the same car - they're a Ford Explorer with Mazda insignia on them. I just got into mine and, after a tuneup and some Slick50, it's running pretty darned good for a truck with 146,000 miles on it.
