it's from Feb 2015 though, so would exclude the 2016's i think
there is a disclaimer that scores are rounded and do not indicate a tie - even so, the rating is right up there
Traded in my 228 BMW for my CX-5 about four weeks ago. Totally love the car and I do believe quality is better than the BMWs.
referring to the CR article ? - was across all models, not specific to the cx-5One-car durability records tell us only how well that particular car has fared. ...
I am well aware as are many here that Mazda has been one of the upcoming car companies within the past few years with some stellar model entries offered, but what I fail to understand (as a newb Mazda owner) is - why don't they sell more volume?
Because Mazda had been criticized for poorer quality and reliability than other Japanese counterparts. The failure of rotary engines didn't help the image either. Although the quality and reliability are supposed to be improved for recent years after the Ford departure, but many people are still scared of Mazda brand. I have friends who bought multiple Mazda's before are no longer the fan of Mazda's. They even questioned my wisdom of choosing a new Mazda CX-5 as they usually consult me when they have needs of buying cars.I am well aware as are many here that Mazda has been one of the upcoming car companies within the past few years with some stellar model entries offered, but what I fail to understand (as a newb Mazda owner) is - why don't they sell more volume?

They're not selling out their entire production run each model year.
Demand is not sufficient to support significant increases in production. Why? Not enough buyers want the unique Mazda offerings, and prefer other companies' formulae.
