Yes you can. The warranty transfers between owners. The only thing is, if you do have engine problems it's likely that Mazda will ask you for service records. Oil changes and such. If you don't have these records, you may very well be screwed.

Not ALL dealers require service records. It depends on your relationship with them, or if they're just complete dicks ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Try to get the maintenance records of the car. Maybe ask the dealer before hand if they will honor the warranty if you can't get the history...
Good luck!

Jason stands correct. Here's what I spotted on my very own MyMazda account:

Wow, fantastic. I previously thought this only applied to the series-1 cars, but now I see they have extended it :
