The reason I always overlook Mazda’s is because I just don’t like their styling. Doesn’t mean it’s not a good car, just not the car for me. Hope you have a good experience with it.

I have a soft spot for Mazdas. Over the years, I’ve owned a Protege, MX-6, 626, and a CX9 (‘11, currently relegated to “kids” car). Never any real issues with them, The CX9 has over 100k miles (bought new), and the only 2 issues we had with it were taken care of by the warranty. 2 daughters use it while away at the same college, so it’s not getting a lot of use. Hoping to get another few years of relatively problem-free operation.

Even the very latest designs? I was never crazy about Mazda design until the current generation of vehicles.

If you read/watch most reviews, a general consensus is that Mazda has best in class design. Of course as a subjective quality everyone can't agree.

I had a 2008 IS250 AWD with the Luxury package. Did some cosmetic mods and some suspension stuff, but didn't touch the engine.
