Severely disappointed

Severely disappointed car has 118,000 looks brand new. The 6th piston is bad which means the engine has to be rebuilt to repair. WOW is all I can say. I will NEVER buy a MAZDA again. This is my first Mazda I will go back to Toyota.

Maintain it well

great car til 105,000 miles. timing chain stretched due to variable valve timing actuators going out cost 2,500 a week later transfer case went out due to a design flaw. more frequent oil change might avoid vvt going out. have the transfer case fluid changed at 30,000 miles ( Mazda says it is good for the life of the car but design flaw causes fluid to go bad VERY quickly.

Slick look and nice ride. Zoom zoom

Car met my expectations. Was very fast and spacious for my family. The interior has a great look and the room we were looking for in a suv

The most reliable car I have owned.

I enjoy the ride and the sporty look of this car. The inside look is cozy and comfortable and it seats seven people without that cramped feeling.

Grand Touring Edition/spacious 3rd row seating!

This car has a very spacious interior and a great 3rd tow seating. It?s very comfortable and drives great! Some of the many great features are keyless start, automatic lift gate, sunroof, Bose speakers, luggage rack, trailer hitch and seat warmers.
