Ya that one, but IMO his measure for reliability begins at 100k miles.
He doesn't like the BMW version either. Eccentric shaft failure is thousands of dollars in repairs. I think BMW and Mazda share similar design.

Calling Kilmer an idiot is an insult to idiots everywhere...

Not sure who manufactures BMWs but the Mazda has a Denso unit also used in some Lexuses. Haven't heard of any trouble with them

I don't believe that is correct. Mazda makes their own SkyActiv drive. Now as for individual parts, that gets complicated.
