Hay Scotty What's your opinion on the Mazda 323 from the 1980's My stepmother had one from 1986 and it lasted for over 30 years. I used that car as a teenager to learn how to drive. back in the 1990's and it was a manual transmission. that car had a very long lifespan.

[@sonny12681]

@BaiAnNa2014 Twitter So how come the Mazda 323 ended up being a car with such a long lifespan and did not brake down as much? Could the Mazda 323 be one of those cars that Ford could of been accidentally made very well and made to last? 🤣

It's actually a collaborative effort based on Mazda's upcoming rwd inline 6 platform. If my current 2016 Mazda 6 handles this well with over 100k miles I can only imagine their upcoming RWD platform. Miata has often been hailed as best handling sports car in world under 50k for a reason.

[@kevtn8]

@Brennan Martini I believe the modern Mazda ( without Ford ) started with all 2014 model years and up so they are pretty solid. I'm not too familiar with models before that but I heard conflicting stories some due to Ford collaboration.

Bought my first Miata 30 years ago. Just purchased my fourth. But ya know, it goes beyond that. Here’s this rather small car company, and when the whole world is saying the little 2-seat roadster is dead - that the convertible is dead - what do they do? They come out with the Miata. And when the whole world is saying the rotary engine is an experiment that failed, what do they do? They come out with the marvelous RX-8. This company is not like the other car companies. This company has, at its core, a bunch of engineers with a passion for automobiles. Not just bean counters with MBA’s, but engineers willing to stick their necks out to pursue something they believe in. Even when the rest of the world is saying “no, you can’t do that”. I just gotta reward a company like that with my business. And so I do. ❤️

[@st.thomas5802]

[@MunaFarrell]

Mazda’s are so underrated, I wished people bought them more bc they’re such great quality cars

[@mrubuntuking5257]

But then dealers wouldn't deal on new ones and used ones wouldn't depreciate. I prefer Mazda remain an open secret shared by 2% of the population; you're doing well to pay MSRP at a Honda or Toyota dealer. Even when the car's crap, like a 1.5T CR-V, ZF 9HP anything, or a CVT Corolla, the dealer won't budge because they know some other sucker will buy it without knowing any better, and they'll happily tell you so. Mazdas are some of the last affordable quality out there, I got 15% off my Mazda6 and I liked it better than a Camry or Accord. Mazda themselves have said they're happy with 2% as long as it's the most loyal 2%. Compare that to VW, who approach 4% of the market on a good day, but whose crappy cars lose their "premium" sheen so quickly that buyers bounce back to another brand, and don't try VW again for 10-15 years. A brand lives or dies on its ability to move customers up through the lineup. Golfs are decent cars, but hatchbacks don't sell in America. A Passat or Jetta buyer isn't moving up the VW AG range into Audi and Porsche, the way a Toyota Corolla buyer would retire in a Lexus ES, a Honda Civic turns into an Acura TLX, or a teenager driving a used base Mazda3 will eventually carry their family in a loaded CX-5. High churn is bad for a car company, you need to create identity, loyalty, and emotional investment. That's where the highest profit margins are. A Chevy Aveo needs to become a Cadillac Escalade, not a Honda Fit and then Acura RDX. Nissan has over 5x Mazda's market share, GM over 10x, VW double, but I'd rather be Mazda right now.

[@DJBla2e01]

Mazda is the 2nd most popular car manufacturer here in Australia

[@schwenda3727]

Dylan Byrne, that isn't the case here in the US... The Cx5 sells in decent numbers, but the rest of the lineup has been way down compared to the competition. It's very understandable for the 6's numbers to be extremely low, since not only is it in a class of car most likely to be traded in for a crossover the instant they get extra $$$, but despite the gen debuting as a 2014, it started selling in mid 2013. It's basically a 7 year old car, making it its oldest car in its lineup. If you don't need a turbocharged engine or air conditioned seats, then why pay $30+ grand when you can get just about the same car lightly used for around $15 grand? But on the other hand, their Cx9... their midsize 3 row... sells only slightly more units than the 6 when the rest of the competition sells infinitely more of theirs... well into the hundreds of thousands annually when every newer mazda other than the Cx5 is a pretty rare sight in many places in America.

[@TheEmolano]

@@mrubuntuking5257 most true thing somebody said about brands! I traded my "Opel"(in my country those cara are Chevys) into a VW, but I really think I should got a better "Opel" instead.

Probably the nicest vehicle we've every owned. The wife is a truck gal and before her Ridgeline she had two Tacomas. The Honda dealership pissed her off and when she wanted a new truck, I asked her if she wanted to test drive a CX-5. It says a lot about Mazda if my wife opted for a CUV instead of a new Tacoma (which I was not impressed with when we test drove the 2017 model three years ago).

Welcome to the party, Scotty, I had a friend tell me about his CX-5, when I was looking for a new SUV earlierthis year. I purchased a 2019 CX-9 GRAND TOURING and I absolutely LOVE IT, turbo and all.

[@jasjuaquin140]

Thanks I'm here because I'm interested in a 2019 Mazda cx9. Your comment helps.

[@shane250]

​@@jasjuaquin140 As a former Mazda tech, I can honestly tell you that the CX-9 is probably THE BEST Mazda ever! Never seen any issues with them. I have seen some issues with the Cx-5's, but mostly minor things (Seat warmers/strut covers), A LOT of issues with the CX-3's, but the CX-9 had 0 issues. Also, I prefer the 3.7 V6 over the 2.5T. While the 2.5 is much easier to work on, the power and torque are not available on-demand, since the turbo needs to spool. The 3.7 get really good mileage for its size, and it accelerates like a dream. Both of them are really quite and do a great job of isolating tires/wind/suspension noises. I think the CX-9 even beats the BMW X5 in that aspect. The (HORRID) CX-7 were canceled and had a LOT of turbochargers issues (among MANY other issues). All the "Mazda-Speed" line had Turbochargers issues as well...so I'm a little worried about Mazda's and Turbos, but only time will tell since these are brand-new designs of turbos and engines.

[@Aboleo80]

Aren't they underpowered for such a large vehicle? Turbo and all?

[@haydn-db8z]

Upon inspecting the door jambs of all the models in a local Mazda showroom, I found that the only one on the floor not made in Japan was a Mazda3. But that wasn't a 2019. One nice thing about Mazda's being a small company is that they haven't been able to open plants here in the US until recently, so most of their cars are still made in Japan, like the two Mazdas I own. The 2019 Mazda3 models aren't selling as well as previous models, perhaps because 1) they've increased their price along with the quality of the interiors to compete with the likes of the Audi A3. I helped a Honda-leaning friend buy a car last year and once she sat in in the CX-5 the quality really got her attention and she bought the Mazda instead. And 2) the Mazda3 hatch has some polarizing styling, which I didn't particularly like in initial photographs but loved in person. The Mazda3 hatch is still available with a manual on the top trim. To repeat what was said before: If you're getting a Japanese car, get one that is made in Japan. If the one you're looking at isn't made in Japan, buy a different trim level or format (hatch vs. sedan vs. etc.) in order to get one made in Japan. Don't get a turbo if you can get a larger naturally-aspirated engine (e.g. get the Mazda 2.5L non-turbo vs. the Honda 1.5L turbo). Don't get a CVT for now, but hey, maybe they'll be great in a few years (get a modern automatic - or even better, a manual if you really want to be engaged in driving your car.)

bought a 2019 mazda3 awd back in april. It's been such a joy to drive to work and on family outings. The interior is so nice and luxurious, feels like you're in a much more expensive car.

Don’t forget Mazda Skyactiv Engines use timing chain (vs timing belt). Chains last longer, no maintenance required, and more efficient. Honda uses 50/50 Toyota uses all timing chains on their engines

[@joecader]

But what are the timing GEARS made out of? I had a timing gear shear on a 71 cutlass. The gear was made of plastic, or so the mechanic said.

[@98triffid]

You needn't buy a Mazda for that but yes that is a plus. Toyota had chains and went to belts and is now back to chains. I cannot think why you wouldn't design an engine that way but if you have one change that belt on time

[@menofbronze9166]

My old 2005 accord tensioner broke and the engine imploded. Chains do not always mean it will last forever.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

@@menofbronze9166 that year accord has a timing belt. When it is serviced as required per schedule the tensioner is changed as well. Either someone skipped that last time or the car was driven past the life span of the timing belt anyway.

[@menofbronze9166]

@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 the 4cyl models have timing chains of that generation.

Great cars and SUVs now from Mazda. I had that CX-5 and now have a CX-9 ( yes its a turbo) but no issues either way. Made in Japan. It makes a difference sorry folks.

[@mariareguera529]

I’m sick of Toyota’s boring designs already, they’re very reliable but I’m thinking of switching over to Mazda Suv and I’m afraid :/

[@robmalcolm8042]

Same for Hyundais. Hyundai almost destroyed it's name again with the issues the american made ones had. I've never had a issue with a korean made Hyundai. Nor a japanese made car made in Japan either (also have a Toyota) but yeah Mazda made in Japan are something else as well

Was never really a Mazda guy, but after the redesign of their cars in 2016/17, I started to take notice. The cars are simply stunning. I had a nice cadillac CTS, but really missed having a convertible, so I test drove a new 2017 MX-5 in July 2018. The dealership knocked nearly $7k off sticker and I was sold. What a fantastic little car. Handles like a demon. Last week my wife traded in her 2017 Honda Ridgeline for a 2019 Mazda CX-5 Touring. A gorgeous car to look at and even better to drive. She's happy--which says a lot because she's a truck gal. She had two Tacomas before the Ridgeline and for her to be that impressed with a small CUV says A LOT. Driving my MX-5, I've had more compliments on it than any car I've driven, including Porsche.

[@neptronix]

The Miata/MX5 of today is a real ripper and SO underrated.

[@leonardogastmann6416]

That’s why I always come back to Scotty... he changes his mind.. Mazda was to me a great company with the newest models and never understood why the criticism since their transmissions are a great deal better now

[@generalzod7959]

A buddy of mine has a 2015 Mazda 6 with skyactive. He gets over 35 mpg on the highway and it's got over 125k on it no problems.

[@seanthompson8071]

Nice ... I've gotten 60mpg on the highway with my 2015 Mazda 3 at 63mph on cruise control (6-speed manual).

[@JT-qc9xw]

I did my homework and got my wife a 2016 CX-3. She's small, doesn't travel far, doesn't haul much cargo, and likes AWD. I liked it so much I finally got rid of my 2006 Honda Odyssey (kids are grown now) and got a 2017 CX-5. Gotta admit that it iss, by far, the most reliable car I've ever owned. 50K miles and not a single problem, not even annoying little glitches. But I live by what Scotty says in his videos - "PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE!". Makes all the difference.

[@MatthewRichardson1]

I love my Mazda 6. So glad I didn't get another BMW.

[@Rheisler1475]

Matthew Richardson someone was getting out of their Mazda 6 and I asked them how they like it, their response “it drives like a beamer”

[@ElSikario100]

Good to hear! I plan on buying a Mazda6 soon. Is the transmission smooth with the gear selector?

[@fredzeppelin3969]

@@ElSikario100 yes, smooth as butter, and in manual mode it gives quick up/downshifts. The "sport" mode seems to read your mind in terms of holding gears, etc.

[@ElSikario100]

@@fredzeppelin3969 nice! I drove the previous gen Accord Sport and the driving dynamics are honestly amazing specially for a family sedan. The CVT is a deal breaker for me though. From what I hear the Mazda6 is just as nice to drive while still having real gears.
