The idea of a 6 year warranty is very appealing but what kind of price difference are we talking here if I was to take it to a local mechanic?
go to mazda.com.au > locate dealers and call the ones closest to you for some prices.. with a mps i think its vital to get mazda to service it.. i reckon with a standard mazda 3 or 6 you could get away with local mechanics..
i know when i am going to start looking at buy a gen2 mps3 i won't consider one that does not have full mazda service history..
