This makes sense to me in the US market. Mazda is competing for mid to full-size crosser market share. It’s a crowded field of competition. For the actual cars (Mazda 3 and Miata) it’s pretty niche now, and advertising is kind of a waste of money. Enthusiasts know what they want

What does better handling mean in 3 row crossover context?

Dunno. I just hope they add an additional pair of fake exhaust tips for extra speed

My Mazda is a 2015 3 HB with 2.5L and manual that I bought new with a 65k mile warranty. It currently has 132k miles on it and it’s been very reliable.

I’ve only had to swap out some wear items over the years: shocks/struts, tires, engine mounts, spark plugs, brakes, etc.

In the US, we don’t get shit. In the name of “freedom,” of course
