Reliability of Mazdas

[jl_mazdaspeed6]

Hi guys, one of the big assumptions I am taking as well is that the MS6 is going to be a reliable car. I know that the LGT is very reliable so the MS6 has stiff competition. Besides the rotarys, how is Mazda on reliability? Both engine/transmission/electronically? I want to make sure I dont have a very fast POS. Please be honest! =p I especially want to know on turboed cars. Thanks. (sorry, I know this is repost, but I don't know which Mazdaspeed forum to approach)

well, Miadas are very reliable. In general, the only major problems I've seen is user error. I had mine from 104k miles to 197k miles with out a single problem. period.

of course at 197k miles I broke the motor, but that was because my car is a part-time track car with an aftermarket turbo, and too much timing and not enough fuel :/

At 202k miles, the speedo stopped working. again at the track.

i've had 2 mazdas, both went from 90K to over 110K with NO problems (98 626, 95 pro) just doing the regular oil change, all filter changes, tranny flush, alignment, brake work.....

"very little is needed for this 10 year old car." <----------how often do you hear that?


i <3 mazdas!

I have two Mazda products. 44K+ on the MSP and 201,900 on the mazda built Probe GT. So its all how you take care of it. Very reliable cars in my experience.
