Reported at 1,000 miles, February 2015

Infotainment system restarts 3 to 5 times, when first starting car, when temperatures in unheated garage are below 50 degrees. I drive four to eight miles, with heater on, before it stops restarting. Have taken to dealer 3 times, while under warranty. All they do is reboot it. Now the car is no longer under warranty and I refuse to take it back, and be changed for something that should have been fixed the first time. This just might be a deal breaker in buying a mazda as my next car. Very annoying.
