I've got the top of the line Mazda 3 with all the bells and whistles. The screen is a problem and I've had it in three times for repair. The radio will stop working or worse, the GPS program stops. I then have to pull over, turn the car off and re-start for the electronics to re-boot. Last time it happened, I got a message that I didn't have the GPS option installed. The dealer has been great but now it rarely automatically connects to my phone and each time I start the car, I have to manually re-install my phone so it will connect. Very frustrating. Love the car but at almost $30K, wish I'd bought the less expensive model.
