DO NOT BUY!

Would not recommend! Purchased this car about year ago from Jim Glover and recently got an oil change. Leaving work couple days after and noticed large amount of oil where I was parked. Found out my cylinder is cracked. Also found out there is a issue with how the manufacture made it so I called Mazda and addressed my issue and have to wait another week to bring it in. Contacted Jim Glover and addressed my issue and they said if I pay $7,500 I could get a trade in! Its their fault for putting a defective vehicle on the market! Now I have to drive smelling burning oil and coolant mixed until I can get it into Mazda dealership and pay $185 just for them to diagnose it.

egh...there's better cars out there.

I feel like this car is barely going...it has no power. every time I drive over 60, it literally struggles to get there. I can hear the engine all the time when I drive it and it's really annoying. I don't know, I'll give it a 4/10. sure, it's a good looking car. but...I find this car to be a good start for beginner drivers.
