 I am a proud 10 year owner of this vehicle.  It has been very reliable throughout the years.  After approximately 200,000 miles my transmission needed rebuilding which I thought wasn't bad considering the mileage.  Also, I had to get my timing belt tensioner replaced a few years earlier, but overall, it has been a great car.  I probably would get another one if the prices of the cars would remain low.  Unfortunately they haven't and I am still driving my good old Mazda.  I hope it will be around for another 10 years.
