    Mazda 3 Reliablity

    Is it true that the Mazda 3 was a group design effort by Ford, Volvo, and Mazda? To me, that isn't good news for reliability. Even if they make the 3 in Japan, I think the design matters the most. The Japanese cars that are made in the USA still have higher than average reliability. (Seems...

    Price on Mazda 6
