That may be true now but 20 years ago I wasn't familiar with it and the car I drove was the second one I went to see as the first, fresh off the truck, was already in the shop.

I think Mazda also used this drivetrain in the contemporary CX7, which also had growing pains. A fellow I knew had one and it was always beset with repairs. I recently saw one on the street and was a bit amazed to see it under its own power.

Perhaps the technology has improved since then.
