Can Small And Scrappy Mazda Survive Among Automotive Giants?

Mazda is a small Japanese manufacturer that has gained a reputation for making cars for drivers. But as its executives have said, it is “not for everybody.” Its sales in the U.S. are small. In recent years, Mazda has a tiny share of both the U.S. and global car markets. Mazda faces its own challenges as the company may be impacted harder by regulatory changes than larger competitors who have a cushion to absorb compliance costs. Being small is not easy, especially in an era where car companies are saddled with the expense of growing some electric vehicle strategy and keeping pace with other technologies, such as automated driving systems. Circumstances are challenging for the small automaker, and Mazda is forming alliances and changing its brand image to ensure its survival.

Actually no they haven't. Their quality is awful when compared to car in the same segment. I bought a new 2020 Mazda 3 and the build quality was so bad that Mazda had to buy it back from me. The rear view mirror fell out because of the cheap glue used, the seat controls flopped out because of the cheap plastic tabs holding them into the seat, the glove box is made out of soda bottle plastic, the C pillar on the outside is a sheet of aluminum foil that dents with your finger, the software is full of bugs and glitches, the rear seats won't latch back up because of the cheap latches used, the A/C does not blow cold air because they don't put enough freon....I can go on and on. Total junk.

Well they don't have a radio volume knob or change the channel knob so that's a set back for me. Having to go to the display for anything is NOT progress in my book.

@TomKosCars 3 года назад

@@captinbeyond I don't know which ones are you talking about. But in Miata, Mazda 3, and CX9 (frankly, I have not tried the other ones) you have a rotary volume knob on the center console (much like Audi used to have). And very close to it a bigger rotary knob for the multimedia screen, which you can use to set the radio channels or navigation, etc. (Also very similar to what Audi had before going full iPad). Overall I would say that Mazda is trying and it seems like they are actually employing ergonomic engineers rather than just designers. "Having to go to the display for anything is NOT progress in my book." - I agree, hence I like what is Mazda doing.

@captinbeyond 3 года назад

@@TomKosCars I just went to a couple videos that show how to set the radio of 2019 Mazda 6 and it clearly states there are NO conventional on/off knobs and no pre-set buttons like on previous generations, You can still set stations but everything is done via the display screen. So I looked at another video of a 2021 Mazda 6 and on the dash there are 2 buttons that look like radio on/off and channel changing knobs but they are in fact the climate control settings. So I'm not sure if you understand what I was wishing for. It is not advancing or making something better for me to have to play with the display for listening to the radio or changing stations.

@TomKosCars 3 года назад

@@captinbeyond Radio on/off/volume is a small knob in the center console, under the shifter. You are right about the radio preset buttons, it takes two steps now. Next to the big knob to control the display, you have a button with a star symbol and that takes you to your favorite radio presets, then you have to choose there. I guess you could drive around with the radio on the screen all the time and that would leave you with one step.

I always considered Mazda's to be cheapish looking in the mid 2000's (probably due to the partnership with Ford) but Consumer reports had great things to say about the newest generation so we said "why not"? It was more affordable, the quality & reliability we were looking for was there and the look appealed to us much more than the other vehicles we test drove. We purchased our Model 6 and do not regret it one second. We eventually will want to upgrade to a mid-size SUV in a few years and the CX-5 is at the top of our list.
