CarComplaints.com Notes: Keep an eye on your tire's valve stems. There are reports that they can corrode, break and take your tire from inflated to mush in "what the heck just happened" seconds flat. Otherwise, most owners say it's pretty smooth sailing with this car.
Since I bought this car back in 2009 at the end of October I have noticed a high level of oil consumption. I am still waiting to have a resolution from Mazda but with no success. I am replacing oil in time with at least 1000 km earlier than the 8000 kms limit as it is written in the maintenance schedule. My car has unacceptable engine oil consumption but the Mazda local officials still refusing to accept the fact. They keep suggesting i don't know how to check the oil level . see the pics i have post it with the car on very horizontal level ( in my garage ) and read the indication on the dipstick from the last picture post it . That level is only after 6000 km since last oil was changed.
