Looking at these, anything to look for when buying?

What year?

Typically dull but worthly Mazda. Quote unloved on the used market, so buy cheap.

If you're looking at the first generation ones then rust on the rear wheel arches is a real problem. In fact rust in general seems to be a big problem for them with the smallest amount of damage to the paint leading to a rust bubble and I'm talking from experience not just what I've heard.

Handle very well in the dry, fair bit of road noise, like a drink

Paint is not great. Just looking at mine would mark it.

^^^ This.

Just bought my wife a 2.3 Sport.

Looked at a few and they all had some rust even 06 low mileage ones.

Still a great car for the price IMO.
