Our 2013 Mazda 3 has been BULLETPROOF reliable for 185k miles. Never been in the shop once for any reason. Other than normal disposables, I've replaced the shocks at 180k, both front wheel bearings at 150k, and a MAF sensor around 160k. All easy DIY jobs. Also did a serpentine belt/tensioner at 160k. Other than that, just fluids and tires/brakes.
Pros: BULLETPROOF reliable, easy DIY
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 297728 km
Use iso alcohol on a microfiber towel, wipe the windscreen/back window and the wiper blades with it, then take off the excess and dry with another one.
Then use a glass cleaner+fresh microfiber to clean the windscreen, and wipe the wiper blades(all 3).
Pros: clean windscreen, clean blades

Mazda 3

Mazda brakes are notoriously shit. They’re garbage. Buy a set of PowerStop brakes and be done with it. They’re far superior to the Mazda brakes. Go on any forum and you’ll see countless people having the same issue as you. New brakes between 15-20,000 miles. Me included. I’ve owned 2 6s from new. Both needed brakes around 20,000 miles. Both times I put on PowerStops and never had another issue.
Pros: PowerStop superior, no more issues
Cons: Mazda brakes garbage
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 20000 km
My rotors needed changing at 30k miles- down to 2mm and failed inspection.
Cons: failed inspection, 2mm
Mileage: 30000 km
