Mazda Reliability

If you can believe Consumer Reports, Mazda predicted reliability has slipped significantly. If you scroll down to the section discussing Mazda, they say it is due to the CX-70/CX-90, and that the reliable CX-5 wasn’t factored in due to the 2026 redesign.

I don’t know… across all manufacturers it seems the plug-in hybrid version of a given model tends to have worse reliability than the gas-only and/or hybrid versions.
And I guess they can’t predict the reliability of a redesigned model, so all the past favorable data of the reliable CX-5 was lost. And they do sell a lot of CX-5s.

Too new, growing pains and confidence.
Lexus lol.. My sis hates NX 250, upgraded to RX 350...still hate it. Lots of problems and drive like a old lady. She got the 2023/2022 before the designed. Every time she ride in my 2016, she had regrets. . Toyota / Lexus keep their design for up to 20 years. Only doing superficial updates.

This shows must how much Toyota sale compare to Mazda of same type. Like Rav4 vs (cx5+50). Not enough sample and people to issue Mazda. So they can fix things. I think Ford or Gm did a similar thing with their truck redesign.

Tldr I trust Mazda.( Even when they **** me over with engine...120k? It should be 150k or something. By time I got notice, my car was at 122k.....)
