They have radio Ads defending their Reliability and Ownership Cost
If thats where your reputation is at, No thanks, VW
New SavageGeese!? YES
It shouldn’t be this way :(
Any Mazda pre-2014 is gonna have Rust as the biggest issue, Mechanically they were pretty Safe, approaching Toyota Levels.

Acura Designers need to be fired.
Only partial /s
