OEM ceramic brake pads can last 60k to 90k miles.. But they're not that expensive if you change them yourself. Very easy on Mazda, best changed at about 50k miles of normal driving, before they wear too much more, to keep quality OEM rotors for longer.
Pros: easy to change
Cons: cheap replacements won't last

Mazdas have a great notchy manual. That's my favorite car stick.
Pros: great notchy manual
No, but I did keep 2 quarts of oil and a gallon jug of water. My Mazda Protege was notorious for burning oil and overheating
Pros: kept oil and water
Cons: burning oil, overheating

I bought my car in 2020, its a 2015 Mazda. Bought it with 92,000 miles currently has 118,000. At this point I have had break pads replaced twice [last time in the beginning of 2024] and rotors replaced once [in 2022]. I took my car to a mechanic in December 2024 and he said breaks looked fine [took it in for another issue]. In May 2025 the car started making a squeaking noise when breaking. I know I should have brought it in then but I am flat broke, I had no money to spend. I have been driving it like that since then. The car runs fine otherwise, I have no problem with breaking [no input lag] and no vibrations on the break pedal.
Pros: car runs fine, no vibrations
Cons: squeaking noise when breaking

kind of reminds me of when my alternator bearing in my Mazda was shot. It sounded like a tin can with a rock being rattled around.
Pros: tin can sound
Cons: rattling around

Mazda's DO NOT like aftermarket alternator. Most don't work out of the box. You need to get a genuine Mazda alternator.
Pros: genuine Mazda alternator needed
Cons: aftermarket alternator bad
The sticky steering became such a problem (despite the worm gear recall and greasing), that they now have to replace the rack/pinion.
Cons: sticky steering problem

I just went back to power steering. I depowered it proper, cut the plunger off and welded the pinion but no matter what the adjustment I did I still had this really odd play. Other than that the steering was great, driving felt smooth the feedback felt great
Pros: driving felt smooth
Cons: odd play, bump steer
Vehicle:
Mazda
It was a terrible headlight design with a built in fan that failed very quickly, so it's believable that they are short on them.
Cons: terrible design, fan failed
