I got a new Mazda 3 in 2022 after my daughter kept raving about her 2016. Toyota was pricing way over the MSRP then. The Mazda was less expensive than a Corolla I had looked at and it was far nicer with a beautiful interior, comfortable seats, more pep, great handling--just a beautiful car. It's great on long road trips. I don't experience driver fatigue or stiffness from sitting for long periods.

It was a mistake to discontinue the V6 Mustang. The Cyclone engine was a solid engine and could hold up because it was NA. Yes, it's still not a V8, but it was a better engine than that EcoCrap.

It looks like you are right Scotty. There are a bunch of 2024 Toyota Tundras with the 6cyl turbos, with spun engine bearings at 40 or 50k miles. These engines supposedly cost 36K to replace because of the way they are put in where they cut the truck in half, take the engine apart, put the new one in, and put the thing back together and test it. Some people are on their 3rd engine (cause toyota is replacing them with the same engines!) at under 70k miles! After they started chopping off parts like the transmission cooler in 2019 their reliability has been going down the tubes. The worst part is I need a new car and wanted to get a truck but not with this situation and at these prices.

It might be that the USA Hyundai and KIA models have problems but they are very well regarded over here in the UK, my KIA Ceed, has over 193K miles on it. Way back when I lived in the USA we had a Hyundai Entourage van and it was fantastic. My ex replaced with a KIA Sedona and now a Carnival. I've bought nothing but Korean cars since 2008. I still have the outlook that Japanese cars are superior but there's not much in it these days.

I bought a new Mazda MX6 coupe twin to the Ford Probe....mine had a trunk etc in 1989. I drove the wheels off that car and never let me down. Mine was a 2.2 engine, 5 speed. I loved that car and ran it over 240,000 miles... 14 years. same engine and same clutch. I would have kept it as I loved it but got a 4x4 in which I needed.. so couldn't keep 2 cars. When I donated it , it was still running good , beautiful paint, no rust .. it was my Black Beauty. I think highly of Mazda.

I bought a nissan X-trail e-force, a car with electric motors, which is feed with a battery, which is charged by an 3-cylinder-gasoline-engine with 158HP. The 2 electric engines has together 310HP, but with computer-regulation only 213HP on 4 wheels. Nice car, nice concept, nice driving. How long it will last, I think, it is not a bad car, but the convenience to drive an electric car with gasoline motor is overwhelming. Perhaps, it will consume 1-2 litre per 100 km more than a toyota RAV4, but this is not a problem for me.

Range extending generators should be a thing. BMW had one for the i3rex, and it worked ok, it was a 2cyl and not pulled off or communicated particularly well. Ford and Rivian previously said that there would be an option for their trucks but have not delievered and in my opinion they won't. Because they don't want EVs.

Our 2008 Camry, made in Japan, did not have the runaway, unable-to-stop problem, but it had the common problem of that generation of excessive oil consumption and then we figured out a defective ABS module started causing all kinds of problems, some very dangerous. (Some signs were evident when brand new, but concerns were dismissed with a very stupid, insulting explanation.) Trying to get a diagnosis was very difficult; some mechanics were dismissive, doubting what my daughter told them, or just incredulous that so many things were going haywire. One place brought in a specialist who finally figured it out. What a nightmare. My daughter once had the brakes lock up when entering a freeway ramp and spun out on dry pavement. It was frightening and there was no apparent explanation at the time. The car was always well maintained. Then the radiator. Thousands to fix everything that was wrong. She barely made it to the car dealer where she traded it for the 2016 Mazda 3. (That was 2 years ago.) The salesman saw the Camry and asked, are you sure it's not worth something, it looks so beautiful. He opened the hood and steam was pouring out! Nope, take it off my hands! Mileage unknown as the speedometer and odometer didn't work half the time. But definitely over 150,000 miles. She lived with some of the problems for quite a while and got good at driving without ABS at least half the time, and adjusting as needed. We bought this car new and cared for it, passed it down to our daughter, expecting it would last for a long time. We figured it would do better than our previous Chrysler minivan that made it to 180,000.

I have a made in Japan 2014 Mazda 3 I bought new, it now has 143,000 miles on it and haven't had to do a thing to it other than regular maintenance. It gets over 40 MPG. I'd keep it forever, but have been thinking of getting a new made in Japan CX-5 (easier to get in and out of in my old age). All the safety/nanny/climate change crap on new vehicles is the only reason I haven't bought one, not sure I could stand to put up with all that government mandated stupidity in a vehicle every day.
