They arrived in Hawaii dealers on the same day as the dealers in Washington State and some other west coast locations, which were the first states to get them. I recall the day well, as I rushed out to the local dealer to check it out.

Purchase date: 8-6-03
Miles to date: 52,214 (yes, you read that correctly)
All services and recalls performed.
A couple of CEL's - nothing other than glitches and needing new spark plugs
The only recurring problem was brake squealing/shimmying, but the updated brake pads took care of that problem.
Also, I drive the car hard and still average 20 mpg.
I took the time to break 'er in properly for about 2000 miles.

I believe I was the first in the Dallas Fortworth area to fill out the paper work; I had to wait for delivery because their shop was close to release the car. See signature. Now about 23,000 miles. new tires at 17,000 miles. 20 mpg. Free service from Mazda.
