Engine runs like a top, no noise, and if the engine shat itself it's only $600 on ebay for a new one. Mazda has never been known for great paint. It's thin imo. But the rest of the car, for the price, is great. If you're used to running stuff into the ground and not maintaining them, (and I mean maintain as in more than an oil change), then I can see why you have issues. I've owned multiple 200k plus machines and never had an engine go bad or transmission. If you want stone cold reliability, stick to manuals.</blockquote>
