Make sure to avoid my red mazda speed gt which is now sitting on parettis lot. It has been wrecked and has had a motor mount failure. It steers horrible and has no pedal/steering feel. Make sure not to let anyone you know buy this car.

Oof. Sad to hear that. What happened? Still in the mazda camp or did you go elsewhere?

Without going into details, the cars problems were mainly due to damage to the steering configuration/whatever and it was never the same. Everything looks good and seems ok, but the performance just is not there. The motor mount was parettis fault, as I got the recall done and the service tech failed to torque down the mount. The torque was set at 22, which he told me, and before I could do anything about it the motor was on the ground. The torque specs are 115.
There is nothing I can do legally about this issue, ive been trying for months. I do not feel like my car failed me so I was not worried about purchasing another mazda. I will not be letting mazda touch my car, although I do already have a warranty claim to take care of on the new car
