Coating/finish was peeling off wheels - car was barely out of warranty when I noticed it. Dealer was to follow up with Mazda for 'good will' warranty.

3rd and 6th gear "broke" on 6mt transmission. Disappointing repair to have at 68k, but Mazda covered most of the cost of the repair. Good customer service. 
Oct 2017

6MT Transmission broke again. This time it was the secondary shaft. Dealer has been great and Mazda has covered all but $300 of repair , but the car has been in the shop for three weeks and having a transmission literally break twice in less than 12 months is disappointing to say the least. It may be time to trade this in for a different brand. Recall for rear brakes. A seal leaked and caused corrosion inside the caliper which can result in brakes seizing. They had previously seized due to the defect. Replaced rear calipers.
