MAZDA3 2.3L

  • Manual transmission
  • 134,216 miles

engine burned oil then spun a bearing

DON'T BUY A MAZDA WITH A 2.3 LITRE ENGINE! Over the 5 years I had my Mazda3 it would burn oil worse and worse, until finally my husband was driving it, shifted down, and the engine spun a bearing. I don't really even want to talk about it. It makes me mad that my husband shifted down, and I'm mad at myself for not topping up the oil that day, DANG IT!
