Message fenders as well. We traded it in earlier this year for a 2013 Pathfinder, but that little Mazda was a great car. I never really had to put any money into it, other than the usual maintenance items.

My 2005 F150, however, I had to waste tons of money on repairs for that thing (p/s pump, rack, broken spark plugs in the cylinders, window regulator, etc). I just sold that this year and picked up a 2006 Mazda 3s. I loved the cheap maintenance and good gas mileage of the old Mazda 6 (and didn't need a truck anymore), so I decided to get another Mazda. It's a great little car (gets 27 mpg in the city). The only problem with it is it's beginning to rust on the rear fenders. When I was looking for a DD, every mid 2000s Mazda I looked at had rust there. I was able to get the price down because of the rust, and I plan to spend some money to fix it soon. Hopefully the body shop can prevent it from rusting there again in the future.

As an aside, my 2005 F150 had 141k miles on it when I sold it... not a lick of rust anywhere.
