Built Feb '04. Only problem was an improperly installed float in the fuel tank which caused my gauge to read at 1/2 tank, when in actuality it was empty. I ran out of gas on the freeway, but Mazda roadside was quick, and the dealer fixed it no problem.

From: United Kingdom, for now
Oct 03. 7500 miles. Brakes on order due to squeal (TSB). Replaced tunnel crossmember due to obstacle in road (3 days in the car and forgot I wasn't in my truck; no body damage, though). Gotta few rattles inside with the radio up a bit, but I figure it's normal.

All the various recalls and updates. At this point, I can't remember all of them.
2 floods, had car towed
Flapping inner fender liner on passenger side
Radio changes stations on it's own.
2 CEL's, were reset

More problems than a typical new car, but nothing catastrophic. Love the car.

Two weeks / 2500km later Brilliant Black GT 2005

New to the Forum, hello all! Absolutley loved my MX-6 and this is carrying on the tradition of driving pleasure. Pink Floyd blasting and a grin ear to ear.
Built August '04 or there about's. Two differences with the 2005, keyless entry has retractable key like the Volkswagon / Audi version. Very handy and they have dropped the two tone interior = mine solid Black on Black.

This car is a rocket and I have yet to really let it out. Mind you I do not baby it as I was told carbon build up of any kind is not good for a rotary.

I have just started reading some of the threads in this forum and found them to be very informative.

Salut and keep the rubber side down!
