Glad to have stuck with the process and to be going to my first game over winter break cause being a student sucks <| sep |> Reliability is pretty much even between the two cars . I have a 2012 Mazda 3 first year for the Skyactiv powertrain in the US . I have 123 , 000 miles on mine and have had zero repairs . Just normal maintenance oil changes , new tires at 90 k miles , new shocks at 110 k miles , still on my original brakes . Cheers , thanks for the input . I think I ' m leaning more and more towards the Mazda 3 , and the fact that insurance is going to be 250 a year less makes it even more of a frontrunner . Going to do one more test drive each this week then go off that . <| sep |> definetly tradable after being cooked
