Faults:

The only problem that we have ever had was while the vehicle was still under warranty. We were unable to remove the ignition key from the key slot. After repeated visits to the local dealer, I contacted Mazda, USA. They must have gcounciled the dealer for the replacement of the transmission computer corrected the issue.

We have had absolutely no expenses with the vehicle except for the required periodic inspections.

General Comments:

The design of the car is still appealing and I believe far ahead of its time. It is still among the most handsome styles ever.

Rattles drive me nuts. This car has none.

It took me awhile to get used to the softer ride of my previous car, a Toyota Cressida.

Compared to my prior vehicle I find that it is just a bit underpowered.

The upholstery and appearance is as if new, but then again, it has always been garaged.

I especially appreciate the low operating costs: gas and the periodic required inspections are its only expenses. (It still uses not one drop of oil between oil changes.)

I have never replaced any parts since buying this rig.

It has never had a tune-up except for the one time that I did change the spark plugs.

The seats are comfortable and the leather shows no sign of wear nor are there any stitches broken.

The only time that there is any wind noise is when the sunroof is open.

When I first bought the car the distributor went bad and that was kinda of a costly repair however I knew it was coming. I had all of the belts replaced preventative maintenance only. I also had to replace the Drv. side window motor/reg. Last repair upper and lower control arms, exp. if bought from dealer $600.00+, I bought them from a junk yard for $111.30.

General Comments:

I love the contemporary design of the car. The features on it are way way way before it's time. Very practical, I use every gadget that it has. I love the hold feature on the car it seems as if it picks up more power once engaged. The hinge less windows are very stylish and the sunroof really gives you the summertime feel. The factory sound system has very nice and clean sound. Power everything is a real plus especially for a person who wants a very comfortably luxury car.

Faults:

Only driver seat shows signs of normal ware and tear.

General Comments:

I am not into racing so power is not a big deal. I can stay with anyone zero to 60, getting on a highway. This car handles like a Mercedes and feels solid. The interior has held up amazingly well. It has had tinted windows since it was new and is usually garage. I do all the right preventative maintenance. This thing looks and drives almost like the day I drove it off the dealer lot.

Faults:

Window Regulator in two windows as failed and required replacement.

Sun roof jams when opening.

CD Player sometimes won't eject when car interior is hot.

General Comments:

One of the best styled cars to come out of Japan, and unfortunately abandoned by Mazda in 1995 due to slow sales from difficulty competing with higher end brand names in same price range.

The 929 has unique engineering characteristics such as a solar cells in the moon roof that runs cooling fans in the car when it was parked.

The 929 also sports one of the nicer rides around with it's low-to-the-floor driver seat, four strut suspension and rear wheel drive.
