Overall reliability

Almost excellent

An very good car with a few irritations. A decently powerful engine, a responsive automatic gearbox and it handles well.
The irritations - well - the sat nav does not have a user friendly interface and it has a mind of its own in route setting no matter how I set up the preferences. It also has the annoying habit of turning itself off and refusing to restart until the engine has been switched off and on again. The parking sensors are almost useless. They go from being completely off to screaming at you in a matter of inches and now at 2yrs and 4 months, it has just been in to the dealer to have photographs taken of its (alloy) wheels as all four of them have started corroding. Just waiting to see what Mazda say about that.
