2006 2.3 mazda 3 s ?

My car took a crap and this is one of the cars I'm looking at
It's a 2.3 M/T mazda3 sport. Are these cars usually reliable? Any common problems i should know about? I did a search, but meh. I didnt find much.
 
The reliability of Mazda 3s has been above average. However, after a 13 year old vehicle's future reliability depends in part on how well it was maintained. Find a maintenance schedule for this year 3 and question the current owner to ascertain whether recommended maintenance was done. Copies of receipts or a detailed record are desirable.
