| Not Ranked : 0 score I'm at 38K on the original Re050's and they have at least 15K left. I do a lot of highway driving and almost never floor it until higher speeds so that helps. I also never accelerate to red lights and then jam the brakes either, that eats your tires too. I always just coast and scrub off speed slowly downshifting. Sure the people behind me hate it but fuck em. The stock tires can last a long time if you drive a certain way.

| I'm at nearly 56k, bought the car about 10 months ago (early Sept. '09) with 44796 miles. Car was perfect when I bought it, but developed some smoke after it started getting cold here in MI (bought it in Houston and drove it cross-country). Fitted the PTP pill and switched to 5W-40 Full Synthetic and now it doesn't smoke at all. Runs like a top too, except for a faulty driver's-side door sensor which works when it decides it wants to. Bought new tires in November, as the old ones were down to 2/32 of tread. I've still got between 8/32 and 9/32 remaining on all of them, and they started with 11/32 new. At that rate, I'm looking at around 39,600miles for this set of tires if I keep using them the way I have been. Amazingly I've got no uneven wear despite the OEM rear camber on the MS6. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score 08, 91k miles, still runs quite well! EGR light has been off/on for the last, oh, 20k miles or so, not too heavily modded but enough to make me smile sometimes still - racepipe, 2 resonators removed from stock exhaust, Cobb SRI, PG inlet, RX8 wheels w/ 235/4018 rubber (which I coaxed to last about 65k miles Ehh, that's about it as far as mods that aren't purely show. In the market now for a CBE (I'd like a little deeper tone/rumble), and an AP. Who says you can't mod over 100k? |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I just 127,000 miles. First engine. Original motor mounts. This car has been such a trooper. I'm just about to do a major power steering rebuild after it overheated and nuked the pump, which locked up and melted down the reservoir, too. Other than that, and a little tapping that sounds a lot like valve-tap from some accidental over-revs by me and a friend or two, I haven't had any major issues. What more could I ask for? Beautiful performance, great gas mileage, and amazing reliability. Besides a few bugs here and there, Mazda really hit the nail on the head with my Speed 6. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score 2007 MS3, 93k miles. original engine, although I have noticed VVT noise, motor mount noise, and strut noise. Only mods are Hawk HPS pads in front, drilled more inlet holes in the OEM air box, disconnect the steering wheel angle sensor, and a couple of sets of tires. I bought this Mazda based on getting 280k out of my old (non-turbo) 626. Guess I cannot expect the same from this one, huh? ![]() ----------- Since original post, replaced rear motor mount with JBR RMM and ordered SURE front sway bar bushings. On Dec 3, 2012 I hit 100k miles. Still have original spark plugs too. Probably wouldn't hurt to change them. Around 60k, I started using Amsoil, 25k per oil change. Last edited by redneck4Christ; 12-05-2012 at 08:59 PM. Reason: Hit 100k! |
