If you replace your car often, then I'm sure the Mazda is fine.
Every Mazda that I see on the road that is 5 years old and not a Miata has cancer around the tail end. I'm shocked that they don't try to address that, but then again, the new car buyers don't have to worry about that. As it's only the new car buyers take money from their pockets to give to corporate, I guess I understand.
Outside of the Miata, I know no one who is a fan of the Mazda brand. The majority of this forum would be described as "he is a Volkswagen guy" by their peers. Never met a Mazda guy. Funny.
Mazdas do not age well.
I used to swap cars every couple years. But maybe cause I'm older now, I think I am over that, unless I end up with a real dud. Semi retired now, and I may be slow, but I now see the HUGE depreciation of a car in the first couple years. The day I bought the Golf, almost 4 years ago now, the other car I was going to test drive was a Mazda 3. I liked the Golf so much I never botheted. Have never regretted getting the Golf.
