The car only cracked 9000 miles and 14 months old before having issues with the clutch and flywheel. The clutch engages very jerkily, almost as if you completely popped the clutch even when you let it out very slowly. Mazda service center acknowledges there is a major problem with the flywheel (they don't even know exactly what it is) and says the warranty on the flywheel is only 12 months and that I will have to fix it on my own dime. Could be many thousands of dollars.
