kakatiya Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 The reason I am not suggesting Mazda is they are very aggressive in making changes with less consistency.. I cannot trust mazdas in long run because they are assembled by ford plants (co-wned) reliability less compared to cars assembled in japan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheenu Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I drove many SUVs ( owned and leased) below are my opinions in your budget Hyundai No Idea . Never owned one or leased honda CRV- decent in every aspect.. major plus is very less maintainance and good resale Toyota RAV4 - good mileage but interiors are poor, you can feel the plastic on the door panels, good resale grand charokee-- good if you are leasing, maintaince issues are more specially transmission. subaru - decent in everything but lot of engine noise, you can't bare it if you are planning for long trips. Good if you are in east coast as it comes with -all wheel drive nissan rouge--- best SUV by Nissan till date( for desis, I mean mileage, maintainance, appearance). Have and option of 7 seater conversion. And their interiors are superior. Not good resale. mazda- Cx5-- excellent looks, and good interiors. But no resale and after few years you will get Lot of maintenance problems many of my friends own this for the past 5-6 years and they don't want to own one again. If you plan for leasing then go for this one( my personal choice for leasing) I currently have Lexus RX350. The best SUV money and maintainance wise ( don't compare it with Audi, merc or BMW each of them have very high maintainance but excellent other features) Hope my answers might help in narrowing down your search.

Mazda ended its relationship with Ford a longtime ago(around 2008) Most of their models that are sold in US are from Japan/ Mexico- Their own plants- not to do anything with Ford. Regarding aggressive changes - I agree, but inconsistency - I would like to know more details about it - like any thing specifuc with Engine/ transmission etc... Not to challenge here - but companies are working hard to make better cars but somehow still carry some stigma with each brand- which will only change if you own it. Hyundai is an example for that compared to some 10-15 yrs ago. Things also depend on preferences - I am not a fanboy of any brand but would definitely not hesitate to try out of box. Anyway - I am not an expert at cars but will research A-Z of the product I am buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway - I am not an expert at cars but will research A-Z of the product I am buying. The plants they assemble in North America are jointly owned by ford and Mazda. North America is a different market compared to Asia , Europe Most cars like Toyota and Honda though Japanese their departments primarily concentrate on North America markets and spend more development time on North America production line and hence they are reaching 98% of the competetion in terms of reliability and production quality. Mazda, Mitsubishi etc primary market still asia and middle East. They sale more cars in those markets compared to North America. You might probably expect better transmission and suspension from 2017 Mazdas than Toyotas and Honda because of their recent issues in suspension corrosion they went ahead and revamped to.latest suspension..While Toyotas and resyoght be two three years old in revamping the suspensions they are using as they are completely old. Cars are always a hit and miss in quality. Toyota Honda's ratio of quality is high compared to other manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
