60k miles..my list of problems..likes and dislikes

ok i have been letting my girl use the 8 cuz we turbochargerd the Z and she going to use it for drift shows and she has been contacted to drift for driftingpretty.com..it now has 60k+ and so far no major mechanical problems.. except for a bunch of recalls.. a headlight and taillight problem..mechanically it feels like the first day I got it..My big problem is the gas milege and constant oil refills..plus service isnt all great mazda can sometimes be dicks.. it is more spacious than my s2k and my gurls Z..overall its a good car..i think it can go 100k with no engine probs..

It's actually a pretty good Reader's Digest version of several ever-popular posts:

o He gets to say how much he loves the car.

o He gripes about oil use.

o He gripes about mileage.

o He gripes about Mazda service.

As a bonus, he tosses in a nice pic of his girlfriend.

If everyone was that efficient with their posts, the bandwidth would go a lot further.
