Overall reliability

Reliable, but let down by poor service from dealer and Mazda UK

Spacious and reliable. Very practical - especially low sill to boot and large tailgate.
Let down by poor spares availablility (10 week wait for a new HT lead when 8-10 months old - problem only solved when we insisted Mazda fit the equivalent Ford part). At two year service (10,800 miles) front tyres were down to legal; minimum - tracking was way out and had been since car left factory.
Low profile tyres (45 profile) make ride very hard.
