Specifically, it was the auto trans mazda got from Ford to put in the 4-cyl 626. The stick, V6 auto, and V6 stick were all fine.

Best non Japanese used cars-right now would be Hyundai/Kia.Great bang for the buck.
The newer Hyundais/Kias-2005 and above are pretty good in reliability.Avoid the older ones.
1 or 2 year Hyundais/Kias are a great deal if buying used--good price with 5yr/60k mile warranty intact.

Can't say I necessarily argue.
Although I expand my list a bit. I think the Focus and Saturns are decent for the money, too. And lets not forget the Chevy Prizm, which is a Corolla underneath (although I suppose that technically makes it a Japanese car).

Wait, stop, reverse that...the auto trans was a Mazda unit, not a Ford.

Nope. The 4-cyl auto was Ford's CD4E transmission.

I thought that the 5yr/60K bumper-to-bumper warranty was not transferrable, and that only the 10 year/100K powertrain could be transferred to another owner?
 
I think there many be a lot of fine print involved in the warranty details like the original owner being required to follow the recommended maintenance schedule at a Hyundai/Kia dealership--or else it voids the warranty.
 
Also, which particular Hyundai and Kia models are recommended?

It's the other way around. The 10/100 powertrain is only for the first owner. The 5/50 bumper-to-bumper is transferable.

With out a doubt Hyundai. With all the safety features and the warranty you can't miss.
