Lol!! He bought it brand new, fully imported from Japan (he paid 32,000 Australian dollars for it back then!)... I live in Melbourne, Australia! In fact it is an Automatic 2.2i. I have never had a problem with it in 32 years and after 310,000 miles !!!!!!!!! ... still drives like a dream, like new! Its unreal ... and l absolutely will NEVER part with this car, for both sentimental reasons and my absolute love for this car. I have religiously taken it to get it serviced (oil change and general maintenance) every 6 months (absolutely without fail!) over the course of its current 32 years. Every mechanic tells me my car is never going to die ... it is in incredible condition. None of them can believe it. I recently purchased a new 2022 Mazda 3 sedan. I had to wait 8 months for it to arrive here in Melbourne, from Japan .... and am also absolutely thrilled to own the Mazda 3 too. It is a stunning car!!! I now drive both cars as my daily driver ... a couple of days a week in my '90 Mazda 626 and a couple of days a week in my new 2022 Mazda 3. Like l said, as long as l live, l will never ever, ever part with my Mazda 626. LOVE IT BEYOND WORDS!!! It even has the famous oscillating vents!!! If anything ever failed in the car, l am lucky to have some experts here in Melbourne (company called 'ALLMAZ') who deal with all things Mazda related and who have over 1 million Mazda parts from models of the 70s, 80s and 90s.

I'm a Toyota fan, but I have to say I'm honestly pretty impressed with the build quality of modern Mazdas. They're good value for the fit and finish, as well as the material costs. It seems like after their partnership with Toyota they really improved a lot of their production and methods. The CX-5s and Mazda 3s/6s seem to be made very well and have held up decently from the consensus of most owners.

I love my AWD CX-5 I just leased 5 months ago. Just pissed that because of the stupid Teslas hogging the chips and being partially responsible for causing the chip shortage, I lost two standard features I really wanted: 1). The power lift gate and 2). The 10 speaker Bose audio. It drives and handles phenomenally but could do a little better on the gas milage.

When she turned 16, I gave her the car for her birthday (only 12K miles on it). To my surprise, she took her drivers test in this car and passed on her first attempt. The DMV inspector said it was the only girl in her 10 years of working at the DMV that had taken the test in a manual trans. Made my day. I also own a 2022 MX-5 RF Grand Touring in Platinum Quartz.

Fit For A King? HELL YEAH BROTHER 🤘🏻 Also, my father had a 2017 Mazda 6, loved it so much he got a newer 2020 right off the showroom floor and the improvement with the ride comfort, quieter interior, touching up of the front and rear and extra standard features more than justified the new purchase. I talked to someone just the other day with the same 6 and he said “dude I thought I was crazy because it was the same gen, but now I can rest better at night!” I also LOVE the Sport mode for merging because it holds the passing gear JUST right, really taking the anxiety out of the whole ordeal. My only minor complaint is the visibility out the back isn’t what I’d like it to be but it’s not a dealbreaker as you get standard back up camera and rear cross traffic alert. But I love his car, it’s much more fun to drive over my 04 Accord and I might get one over the new Camrys I’ve been looking at.

I had a tricked-out Miata. Drove the heck out of it with not a single glitch. Decided I was getting a little old to be driving a flashy yellow Miata with chrome roll bar, cat back exhaust, etc. So I traded it in for a 2016 CX-5. Six years later, that car continues to run with no problems at all. IMO, Mazda makes great cars.

I live and work in Japan. Due to my work and lifestyle, owning a car in downtown Tokyo was not feasible for me because of the lack of space. As a result, I ended up renting a car every weekend. Fast forward five years later, I had tried almost every Japanese car in the compact and subcompact category. While all Japanese cars are great and reliable, there's something special about Mazdas. Even the budget models ride and feel premium, and they excel in the cost-to-quality ratio. When the time came to finally own a car, it was a no-brainer to choose a Mazda.

I had a manual 2016 6 and got rid of it partially because it had some problems early on that should never occur on a car that young and with as few miles. It never left me stranded, but here are some of the problems. It was a very good looking car that was excellent particularly on the highway, but it was just okay overall. I had an '05 3 Touring hatchback 5 spd and, unlike the 6, it was my favorite car ever. It never had any problems and felt faster than the numbers showed. The shifter was also better than the one in the 6 due to the linkages being lined with Kevlar. I still miss that car. Brand loyalty is a fool's errand. A car maker can be good in one decade and not so much in the very next one, or vice versa.

It has a VVT issue that instead of a $100 solenoid swap. It’s a $1200 cluster. They redesigned the VVT and you can’t just buy the VVT/actuator. Even though the engine light has been on for 3+ years. It still runs fine it just might not be optimum performance due to the oil drive actuator in the VVT.
