just under 32,000mls. as of 30/1/10. The engine management light has come on and gone off (for days at a time) for several years now, but with no ill effects. At around 27,000mls. the water pump died and we had to be recovered as apparently modern water pumps don't give warning squeaks like the old ones. On a positive note, it's still the original exhaust, suspension, steering joints, battery etc... it's never failed to start whatever the weather, so on balance it's been fairly reliable. I intend to keep it for some time yet.

COIL PACK FAILED AT 8 MONTHS. THEN HT LEAD WAS CORRODED - MAZDA MADE US WAIT 10 WEEKS FOR NEW HT LEAD, AND THEN ONE WAS ONLY FITTED AFTER I INSISTED THE EQUIVALENT FORD PART WAS OBTAINED.
FRONT TYRES WORN OUT BY THE TIME THE TWO YEAR SERVICE WAS DONE ( AFTER ONLY 10,700 MILES). TYRE FITTER SAID TRACKING WAS SO FAR OUT , THE CAR MUST HAVE LEFT THE FACTORY IN THAT CONDITION.
GOOD CAR LET DOWN BY MAZDA UK CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS AVAILABILITY. WEAR IN FRONT TYRES SMACKS OF POOR PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION.

Overall a very good car, excellent value for money especially when compared to the new Ford Fiesta, which is esentially a vehicle from the same stable. Fairly stylish in an under stated way. Been VERY impressed by the traction and stability of the car during the past 4 weeks of extreme Snow and Ice conditions on the roads where I live ( South West Scotland). I would not hesitate to recommend this model to anyone who is looking for a small car.

Click from clutch pedal that dealer and Mazda UK have now decided is a feature of the car and there it has never been fixed and never will be.
Otherwise its a very good car and I have few other complaints about it. The fact they cannot fix what should be a basic problem taints the entire driving and ownership experience.

I can't really fault my car. Its fun to drive, been very reliable and is reasonable to run. I think for the money its very good value. Definately would buy another.
