I just bought my second Mazda 3 to replace mythe first one. Nothing really wrong with the 1st one (2004) but it does have 126,290 miles on it. It still runs strong so I gave it to my son. The only thing I had to do for repairs aside from reg. maint. is rear brakes and battery. Best little car I have ever owned. I'm thinking about headers, it it worth the cost and install?

 

the first one you had, did it have the 2.3 liter? and did u have any problems with the clutch slipping on you becuase i have heard that the clutches in our cars tend to burn out quite easily

 

omg 126xxx miles in 4 yrs?!?!?!?!

 

Really!! Jeez. I will have had mine for 4 yrs this August and only now have 38k on the clock... and 3.75k of that was a trip to Pa and back again.

Welcome M3/2!!

 

Welcome to our little world.
Also, since I have 10,000 miles on mine in 4 months, I no what it is like to be in the 100 mile a day club [8D]

 

i used to put 50k a year on my geo. it died at 197k and i still got a thousand dollars for it.

 

soooo....back to my orginal question, any powertrain problems at all? i heard the clutches in these things dont last that long

 

My Brother has 57K on his 05 HBwith no clutch issues

 

My 2004 Mazda is a 2.0 and NO problems with the clutch. Still runs very strong.

 

in 6 months ive put up about almost 20K lol
