It's a ford built vehicle. That's why I don't like many of the mazdas anymore. The 626 had a pretty bad rep for breaking down and the new 6 is gonna have the same rep. When I was working at the dealership I used to watch them go back in the shop and stay there for weeks at a time b/c they had problems. The same goes for the tributes and the trucks. The only new cars that didn't have that rep are the Protege, protege5, and miata. I'm not hatin on fords, but it's just the ones that are built by them for mazda here in the states that seem to break down a lot more frequently than any of the Japanese built vehicles.

that's on reason I didn't get the V6 engine...since that is a ford built engine and the 4-cylinder is mazda built.

ever heard of a fluke? or lemon? it does happen every now and then. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the engine is a ford design (duratec)

oh well, I love my car so far...although I'll be pissed if that does happen to me.
