Mazda engine was discontinued at the end of 2014, so the Mistubishi-based PSI engine is the new standard.

I've got about a dozen of the PSIs in service now,The first is just now hitting 5000 hrs and we're in the process of changing the timing belt.

Unlike the Mazda, these are interference engines, so timing belt maintenance is critical. And as you might expect, they are generally a little more complex to work on than the old Mazda, but nothing extreme.

Only problem we've had with them so far is an o-ring on a coolant tube that seems to fail on all of them. They'll start to weep coolant from under the exhaust manifold. Fairly easy repair where a Viton o-ring and a little copper RTV have proven to be a robust solution.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
