 Our transmission was replaced by a factory recall and less than 16 months later, the entire transmission seized up.  We contacted Mazda and were informed the new transmission was only covered by a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty.  We ended up having to pay $2,800 for a new transmission that should have been covered by Mazda.  Mazda did not care....they did not care we were repeat Mazda customers, they did not care we followed their initial factory warranty recall program and they definitely didn't care we had to pay $2,800 out-of-pocket for a defective transmission one of their dealer's installed in our vehicle.  AVOID PURCHASING THIS CAR UNLESS YOU LIKE TO WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS!!!
