As far as I know mazda doesn't have reliability issues... now with nodding as said above the rods are weak and fuel starvation is an issue. Keep it with an ap stage 1 tune with a good cai and you'll have a fun quick car. Will it ever be "fast"? Not without ALOT of money.

My buddy just bought a regular Mazda3. He likes it. Few modification parts are available though.

From what I've seen, the ms3 is plenty reliable if cared for and not abused...which does not appear to be the norm for them. They get a worse rap than they deserve because of how most owners treat them
