Looking at my first Mazda.
 

Hello all, this is my first post and was wanting to test the waters on opinions on a 2007 mazda3 gt.

More specifically, This mazda :

Just over 80,000 miles on it. I have been doing a lot of reading about the 2.3L engines having "blown" issues and would I get this car, I will definitely be investing in an extended warranty. Tires do need changed, and it had a slight hesitation in idle and around 3K rpm cruising. The dealer said they will have it taken care of and in good running shape before they would let the car go. They also said if it has any problems in weeks/months down the road, to come back for complimentary repairs.

So, is this worth it? I am really looking at a mazda3 for a new car and this one is right near me with the features I really would like.
