Conclusion on Car Issues (I'm part of the New Motor Club)
#27
Car died on highway after 7 hours of driving from Fort Mac to Calgary.
Had it towed to dealership
2004 Standard 53,000km on it. Something like 30,000 miles?
Never had a single issue, first time in the shop for something other then TSB's, oil changes etc. U get the picture!
After the dealers replacing;
Motor Mounts
Cat Converter
O2 sensor
Then;
Wires
Coils
Spark Plugs
---- Which I ended up paying for those items as their no longer warranty
This did not fix the problem so they installed
Complete Intake System
After it not working they concluded it needs a new engine!
yeah... so I basically will have a new car now.
But it sucks because I would MUCH rather have a reliable car then a sports car I can't put 50,000km on.
Honestly;
as much as I love this car... I don't think I'd buy one again.
Maybe if they slapped a v6 in it. I know we all love our rotaries because its different, but realistically, the piston engine may have more moving parts that wear and break down, but its more realiable, cheaper to maintain, better on gas, and this car could use another 100ft/lbs of torque!

what dealership did it go to?

I guess you can't read, because I said 15% renis not 25%. So how many other things did you not read correctly?
#29
Sorry, minor memory lapse, yes, you claim that only 15% of Mazda engines failed. So do you have any basis whatsoever to support your 50% engine failure rate claim on 1st year Boxsters, 25% engine failure rate on Nissan VQ engines, or your 15% Mazda engine failure rate??? If not, just admit that you (or someone else) made those numbers up.
