While, granted, these figures are company-supplied from their own American web-site and are aimed primarily at the auto-press, they still show a distinct pattern of recent success, and, I felt, were credible enough to post. We all know that the Mazda3 and Mazda6 have done well (on the road, I've seen a distinct increase lately in their numbers in my area). The Miata, however, seems to be declining.....perhaps because an all-new one, about to be unveiled, is taking some attention from the present one.

Good news indeed for Mazda.

This information was included in the July 2014 Sales Thread.

Always good to see when a carmaker that goes it's own way, doesn't blend in with the crowd and still emphasizes the sporty side of driving is well-received. Good for Mazda!

Love my CX-9!

Well deserved. Looking forward to the Mazda2 and Miata.

I had a call with them recently and they seem to energized. Something new is coming very soon they are very excited about.

Huge fan of the brand and 6 so will be marketing more towards that beautiful car.

Great work Mazda!

New design language, hits with mazda3, mazda6 and cx-5, mx-5 is sooo close, venturing into diesels, cx-9 due for a lift, and rx-7/8/9 rumors continue to swirl. Exciting stuff

You might not believe this, Mike, given some of my tastes today, but I drove Mazda sedans exclusively from the mid-1980s to the mid 1990s. (I owned three of them). By that time, I had had enough of lemon after lemon from GM and Chrysler, and, IMO, it was time to do something about it.

Unfortunately, their Mazda3s are prone to premature rusting.

Aside from 1-2 electrical gremlin events, the wife really likes her CX-5

I just bought a '15 CX-5.
Great tech items bang for the buck.Very nice handling and ride too.2 seconds faster 0-60 than the '13 CR-V we had.
Infotainment not great and a low but still love the vehicle.

Keyless entry/push button start
HIDs w/AFS
Bose sound system
Rain sensing wipers
8 way power seat
Blind spot monitor
Rear parking sensors
19" wheels
Smart City Brake Support system uses a laser sensor to detect stationary objects (such as stopped cars or pedestrians) in front of the vehicle at speeds up to 19 mph. If the driver fails to respond to a warning, the CX-5 can automatically apply the brakes.


For under $31K with discount and 0% financing.

Congratulations.
The CR-V is not as sport-oriented as the CX-5. Never was. In general, though, it's hard to beat the reliability of the CR-V.

How long a term was that 0% good for? Some firms will five you a free loan, but only for very short terms. Take out anything beyond a year or two and you will pay more.

Congrats on the CX-5 it's a great CUV. When it came out a number of magazines did comparos with it, CR-V, RAV4 etc. and I believe it came in 1st place in all of them.

Unfortunately that's not entirely true these days. Consumers are hooked on 0% financing, and it's not uncommon to see 0% for 60 months on cars, especially at the end of the model year. 0% for 72 months is starting to be pretty common for end of lifecycle,

We'll see how long they can continue to develop cars and go it alone without major support/co-development. Would love to see them do well. They're getting critical acclaim, but their sales overall are still fairly small.

Thanks,Mike.
Up to 5 years.Maybe 6?
Yes the reliability of the CR-V may be better but the wife only does about 8k miles per and we usually don't keep a vehicle a long time.


Thanks,Bob!
