Around 32,300 miles, while driving on freeway at 50MPH, car bucked and stopped shifting. Switching to manual mode showed only the letter M, but no number.

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.
86000 mi
US $300
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.
