The original Firestone Tires just wore down like an eraser. Replaced them with better quality Bridgestone tires.
The shifter bearings squeak when you shift in cold weather.
The car handles like a Mini Cooper. Its engine will rev high with no problem. If you have a modified exhaust like mine, then it sound like your packing a V8 under the hood. Its main assets are high top speed, and quick sharp handling due to the twin trapezoidal link rear suspension. However, don't expect to win any traffic light races unless u'r taking on a Metro or Firefly. Its other strength is the high fuel economy, which is enhanced if higher octane fuel is used routinely.
I totally agree. I am driving this car for the past 5 years and
did not have any problems. This is a sweet car I recommend for anyone who want to ride problem free.
This is my third Mazda. I love them. Bought this one new, now has 139,000. However, I'm on my second clutch and need to know what is the average life of a clutch? I've been driving a standard shift for over 20 years.
