172400Km, think it is about 108000 miles
at 40000km, fuel pump replaced (failed)
now has to go for front oil seal at "crank", leaking
still fairly light on fuel, i get between 9 and 9,5km/liter on long road.
my passenger sunvisor also cracked into 2 a short while back.
oils - Royal purple.

otherwise i can stand outside my car and give the key a quick turn through window and it will idle.

After more that one year of silence in this thread... bump!
I take the opportunity to say that I have reached 100.000 km (about 60.000 miles). My car is from May'04 hi-power version of the renesis.
No one single problem with the car.

Well it's been awhile since I posted here, so I thought I might update.
As of July 28, 2007 I have the following to report:
Mileage: 134,254
Tires: 4th set (OEM B/S, Fuzion ZR1, Nankang, Kuhmo)
Engine:
Oil Pan (recall)
Spark Plugs
Alternator belt (damaged on FL Turnpike)
Front Engine Gasket (repair oil leak)
Rebuilt Alternator
Replaced battery (due to bad alternator)
Brakes: Original Stock
Still getting 240-280 miles per tank using mostly 92 octane gas, driving daily commute of 40 miles each way during morning I-4 rush hour in Orlando.
No other major mechanical problems to report.
Still runs smooth and has pep when I want it, gets the marble sounding action when it gets extremely hot outside. Can't figure that out as others have also had the same problem.
Engine oil lasts longer tha it did from day 1, usually get to oil changes before having to add any. Check regularly and still at full or near full mark.
Still waiting for Mazda to call for autopsy of engine.
