| General comments: | Fun to look at and drive, but just too much of a Diva. High Maintenance and very poor gas mileage on premium fuel. Operating costs are cheaper for my F250 Disel Pick up. I drive new cars with the expectation that I will have minimum down time. Not true here. Hiley Mazda the dealer is great. Doing the very best they can with what they have to work with. |
| What things have gone wrong with the car: | Been wreckered in twice due to non starting. 5 total trips to garage in 18 months. Hesitates, dies. AC is weak. Motor Mounts failed twice. |
