good to see nissan up there with the bigger boys. but mazda, wtf?

3

edit very stupid post… thats what i get for not reading properly… -_-"

4

youve misinterpreted the data
and it says least likely

5

yikes!.. my bad… runs and hides

6

s’all good

7

On the other hand i’d have to agree with you… Mazda being number 1 is insane. They claim to have fixed any problem the rotory might have had back in the day lol. I swear there was a call back on the rx8 for the engine no?

8

i believe there was. also the mazda 3’s and 6’s have their problems, which are quite apparent. But fuck, nissan had that recall on 02-05 altima rear subframes. LOL my dad had to get that replaced, just for the hell of it.

9

it also states that it was a ‘mechanical failure’

the mazda 3 and 6’s had their problems…but not mechanical…
if i recall correctly, it was just that the alloy rims rusted easily, and mazda offered to replace that for free…

as for the rx8…it was simply a hp misstatement, and was pegged on false advertising according to a friend who had to return his 8

10

interesting. im a liscened mechanic at a gm dealership and as of three weeks ago at our monthly audit or warrenty rate was at roughly 15%…which is damn good.

11

the 2004-2005 and some 2006 RX8’s had a recall… some of those cars got a brand new engine if it failed a series of tests…

12

mazda fails… soo much problem w/ my MPV

13

i thought toyota was suppose to be number one? meh, i never have and never will drive a mazda. it’s crazy to see such high end cars towards the bottom, u would think bmw and merc would make their shit better wouldn’t you?

14

Mazda is shitty, my 03 protege 5 is nothing but issues - Brakes are useless as fuck too.

15

oh mazda oh mazda what about kia???wtf

16

Kia to be honest, the people i know that own or have owned one, havent had problems with them. find that strange?

17

most likely to have a car broken into with just a bare hand slap, mazda3…

18

HONDA FTW… its amazing to see the percent difference from honda and mazda to the next place toyota. 7% is huge.
Thats the difference from you buying a BMW compared to a Chrysler mechanical maintenance wise.

19

I bought My girlfriend an 03 Rio. Its proven to be a better car than the protege5, although it feels like a cheap car.

20

i hear that kia motors are old mazda designs but still i dont like them along with saturns just me
