Welcome to the world of Mazdas.
My engine went out after 8 months of ownership! Oil starvation...same thing happened to RougeP5...except his happened on the AutoX course...mine happened on the way back from Walmart...never again will they touch the Mazda.
Blow a motor and join the folks here in the 'Zoom Zoom Boom Club'....ha ha.
Hope it all works out for ya.

You want a crappy car, get a Eclipse/Talon/Laser...they are nothing but problems. The 3 years I've had it:
- needed new lifters
- new waterpump
- 4 new tires twice (alignment didn't fix uneven wear)
- new front end cv axle
- two new front lower lateral ball joints
- new clutch
- new front brakes, and rotors
- new brakes in the back
- two new o2 sensors
- new turbo oil feed line
- new alternator
- new battery (twice)

You bought a turboed car... You will have problems... Now my 89 Jetta... Lets see.... 4 blown head gaskets. a set of new pistons, new oil pump, 2 clutches, 1 pressure plate bent to hell, Fuel pump THe outter one not the intank one along with the whole pump system. New fuel injectors, Ignition system, driverside front axle, and the car only had 100K miles on it and I had it 2 years. Please dont even get me started on my 95 Jetta......
same problems on my MP5 as Bijou-MP5, but I had a 2000 Jetta, replaced:
- rear rotors every 30K
- coil paks, plug wires, MAF
- Radiator, water pump, reservoir, termostat
- both rear calipers
- cat, mid pipe, muffler
- all belts, timing belt twice
- four O2 Sensors
- a slew of light bulbs
- plastic moldings inside that you wouldn't think would break
had only 101K on it when I sold it. All repairs were done between 81K and 89K so eight thousand miles and $3200 in repairs? Not counting mods, unless they were upgraded repairs. SOLD I will keep the Mazda. I did make 1500 over Blue Book on the jetta though.

no problems with my p5 yet.. well theres the 3rd gear thing to bad i found out about 5k mile to late that mazda messed up the syncro in the tranny and would have been a free replacement if my car was still under warranty.. i think thats complete BS..... but ohh well.. the only major work that has been done to my car having to replace my rear end 2 times.........
