What owners wrote
Within two months of purchasing the vehicle it broke down (in motion) on the highway, towed it to a mazda dealership who diagnosed the problem as water in the fuel. After a week the vehicle was returned, this time the fuel gauge was inoperable and it continued to sputter, took it to a second dealership who kept it for another week who apparently fixed the problem.
When I start the car in the beginning of a cold day, I smell gas all around the car. I found that the car has an incomplete recalls when I entered the VIN no., but I called the no. They told me that the car hasn't any recalls.
