I could be wrong, but that’s when Mazda was using Ford’s parts bin. That relationship dissolved fully by 2014, and Mazda has improved/benefitted greatly.
Mazda shatters North American sales records with no EVs in the lineup....

What’s the worst part of driving a Mazda? Telling your parents you’re gay.

When car shopping last year, I was seriously looking at a Subaru but I was told everyone would think I was a lesbian.
First car was a black 1979 Mazda Rx-7 with mag wheels. It wasn't the greatest car from a reliability and longevity standpoint. Also wasn't super fast and not very fuel efficient. The apex seals went out and that was the end. Also had a 1984 626. It was a great car.
Mildly interesting fact. The founder of Rivian is from my area and the name is derived from the Indian River which flows through our county.
And you still haven’t answered the question. Your evasive “answer” tells me all I need to know. Happily sticking with my internal combustion engines.
It’s not about being poor. It’s about not wanting to spend automobile caliber money on a glorified golf cart.
My guess is you've never driven an electric golf cart, let alone an EV.
Will add “stupid” to the list as well with this super hot take. 😂
If you like your electric car, knock yourself out. But keep that overpriced shit away from me.
There are EVs outside the Tesla family, if not trusting Elon is the problem. The Mrs drives an Audi EV and loves it.
I'm driving a brand new 2025 CX5 Carbon edition. Had I test driven it longer and really understood how it was going to behave I woulda shopped around more. Oh well live and learn maybe I'll try a CRV next.
sometimes it's not a very smooth ride. Kind of a jerky transmission I think? For instance everytime i let off my accelerator and not brake I expect to coast. Well at times as soon as my foot is off the gas completely there will be a sudden deceleration jerk. tap the gas to go faster and slight acceleration lurch. it'll just feel sluggish. It doesnt happen most of the time and i can go whole drives without it happening. tends to manifest itself getting behind slower vehicles in residential areas. Tried reddit forums, tried getting it looked at by dealership but I couldn't replicate it that day and nothing they could see wrong. IDK if it's just me or what, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Everyone else on the forums seems to love how it drives.
Still trying to figure it all out
Dude, you've never driven one. ICEs only beat EV in driving range. At least the 3 EVs I've driven. Those suckers are fast off the line.
Of course you do. And of course, once again, you are wrong.
Do you have the forward collision warning enabled? I have different levels with my fcw and had to turn it to the lowest setting to prevent that happening.
Then he should have led with CSB time. I DONT MAKE THE RULES, I JUST LIVE BY THEM.
Absolutely not, because that would mean sticking it to a multitude of small businesses in Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and other parts of the Gulf Coast.
Ya know, EVs probably wouldn’t get such a bad rap if it weren’t for EV owners. Kind of like vegetarians, vegans, atheists, crossfitters, soccer fans, Yeti owners……
Not sure I understand OP's point. Toyota EV sales alone in 2024 (1 million) were more than double Mazda's total sales.
Mazda isn't Toyota. The point is that Mazda sold many more cars last year than in any year in their history.
Mrs. Tradition (no pics) is on her second Mazda and I used to drive a Tribute back in the day. We're not new to the Mazda family.
Why is that relevant? Their market share is still very small? Why the mention of EVs?
Setting all-time company sales records isn't relevant?
Clearly you didn't major in business.
As for the EV angle, I explained that in post #66.
Well, I traded in my Tribute in 2008 so I don't remember if I posted much about that car (it was meh). I drove Hondas between 2008 and 2024. They're nice, but the newer year models are not as reliable as the ones produced in the teens, and they want too much of a price premium today.
Not sure if I ever posted anything about the wife's cars either.
Her Mazda6 is a sweet ride, though.
Hey, it's okay to like the car you purchased. Its just funny and notable about how much you crow about Mazda now.
There are some aspects that make this amusing <to me>, esp when you comment the far left about their focus on emotions when your little heart swells about your current vehicle, and you feel the need to fan boy it on the forum. It's just amusing, thats all. Just making a comment, not attacking you.
