This is such bull!! Consumer Reports put Mazda at number one for reliability in ! Ahead of Toyota and Lexus! So much mis information these days! Thank you for your comment. Therefore our customers are looking to find out about reliability when it comes to repair costs and other information concerning what they will find in the UK. I have owned two Mazdas. A Mazda 3, model which was excellent and superb to drive.
I now have an MX5 RF, with 15, miles. Had only one issue with this. The alloy lacquer began to show signs of wear. Had all 4 wheels replaced by the dealer. This is a car you just want to keep driving. It is just so much fun. There has been gearbox issues according to the forums but so far I have been trouble free. I own a Mazda 6 Sport. It has had recurrent problems. It has been back to the dealers every 10k miles for major repairs.
At 12K miles major engine problems. Needed a rebuild. At24k transmission problems. The list is endless. That was before everything fell apart. It's a shame because Mazda, which has long struggled in the sales department, saw a 19 percent increase on that front through February before the lockdown started.
Mazda had a lot of momentum going into this year. It feels gone now. Does this mean a shift in strategy away from crossovers and upmarket cars?
No, it does not. But it's a scary outcome for a small automaker that doesn't have an armada of pickup trucks it can rely on to carry it through this crisis.
For now, Mazda is hoping the reopening of dealerships will give it a needed boost, but it's worried about a resurgence of the virus in the fall. I, for one, am thrilled to talk to about Tesla in a way that takes a break from Elon Musk's absurd and attention-seeking fight with county authorities in California.
Instead, let's talk about batteries. Specifically, where Tesla wants—needs, even—that technology to go long-term. Reuters has an exclusive report on Tesla's aggressive battery plans: designed to last for a million miles, able to be profitable when priced the same as gasoline cars, and with greater energy density and storage capacity than the world has ever seen before. If perfected, this technology could permanently move battery EVs into the mainstream with fewer compromises than ever.
A and Tokyo Electric Power Mazda is a small independent manufacturer that sells a fraction of the cars churned out by the world's largest automakers.
And being a small automaker in is not easy. But the company has managed to carve out a reputation for building cars that are fun to drive and offer good value for the money, according to industry experts.
