56 MPGE Let's GO.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Mpge is such a weird figure.

[@kvetcha]

I believe I saw someone lift up the liner below the third row, and it's primarily sound deadening under there.

[@GTGarageTalk]

That’s a lot of sound deadening. Lol

[@Rockytop8118]

Did I see the third row rear leg vents were still in there? Seems weird to have airflow in the trunk area if so

[@jordan4328]

Hard to beat for the price. Curious how they will hold their value long term?

[@GTGarageTalk]

Agreed. Time will tell. They are seeing some issues with recalls on the powertrains, but it should be a solid vehicle once they sort that out. (New powertrains are susceptible to issues. Just look at what Toyota is going through with their Tundra at the moment.)

[@PsychicMedium4747]

Sir, Mazda is NOT a premium/luxury brand. Its a mainstream brand that compete with Hyndae/Kia, Toyota and Honda. Why are even placing it against true premium/luxury such as Acura and Lexus?

[@GTGarageTalk]

Their top trims are legitimate Lexus competitors.

[@rinkashime3458]

You need to start admitting that Mazda is now on a different level and it is unfair to compare it to Toyota, Honda, especially to Hyundai and Kia.

[@LSR-YT21]

Mazdas are technically more like Buick and Lexus than Toyota and Honda. Mainstream price but premium quality

[@gwm0072002]

I was in one 4 days ago. The fit, finish and materials are well up there with Lexus and Acura. (Not to mention acoustics!) They have left Toyota and the others a ways behind on this one and are a complete challenge to the previous mentioned Lexus and Acura. Good and fair review I agreed with most of your comments.

[@GTGarageTalk]

@@gwm0072002 Thanks for the feedback!

[@victorkarev1712]

Ну показал, что есть запасное колесо. Всё. Можно уже и помолчать...😂
