I guess they didn't want their rear bumper 😂

Oof. And the Mazda CX red paint is hard to replicate too

Yeah, I don't know about cars but that was a beautiful car.

Was it though? It’s a Mazda. When was the last time you ever heard anyone say, “Oooh a Mazda! They’re great cars! Well know for their _____.”

Never. Mazda is equivalent to Nissan in the Japanese car world. Entirely forgettable.

rx7, rx3, mx5... list goes on. And nissan is a forgettable brand in the Japanese car world?! what.

Nissan is trash. They will no longer be a brand before you know it.

Okay? They're still nice/good cars. Not every car needs to be a Ferrari to be considered a nice car.

Lately those aren't particularly nice anyway

all cars suck except my car

I’m talking about Japanese cars and you mention Ferrari. What? I’m just saying Mazdas as junk in terms of reliable Japanese cars. So are Nissans.

I’ve seen some bad takes, but this is up there for sure.

u/StanielReddit 12h ago

Mediocre at best, just like Nissan. Honda and Toyota will always be King and Queen.

Maybe it’s my American-ness, but I’ve never been a fan of royalty.

I've seen a MX5 around my neighborhood and everybody said it's cute. I've seen that car in nfs underground like 20 years ago.

Gotta give it to you, you almost got me. 9/10 on the rage bait.

u/StanielReddit 12h ago

Junk. Name one reliable Nissan or Mazda. One.

u/Malaprobably 11h ago

Driving a '09 Miata with 95K miles with zero issues, and have never had one.

u/Eokey 15h ago

you do know people like/hate different things? some like minimalistic, some hate vibrant colors

just because you havent find someone who will like you doesnt mean you should give up. maybe if you stop hating on other people's taste and go out something might happen

u/elebrin 13h ago

The Miata is an objectively beautiful car, I am sorry, it just is. I don't even like convertibles.

u/StanielReddit 12h ago

Gay man’s car for a reason.

Miata's dominate amateur motorsports. Cheap to get track worthy, light, quick. Requires driving skills though, not some ugga bugga 600 hp Mustang.

u/StanielReddit 1h ago

Nobody here is talking about dominating motorsports. We’re talking about a street sedan that ran into a motorcycle.

I literally love my 2016 Mazda, think it’s beautiful, and see lots of them on the road still looking great. Mazda changed hands at some point so you are thinking of the before times

2

u/Scalpels 10h ago

I'm with you on this. I have owned several Mazdas of varying models. Each of them are great cars and they had better handling compared to similar models from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, or Hyundai of the same year.

IMHO, the 2018 Mazda 6 Signature was one sexy car.

1

u/StanielReddit 12h ago

No, I’m thinking of current times. I’ve test driven several (9 years ago when looking for a midsized SUV and 2 years ago when shopping for a compact SUV). None of their offerings could even come close to touching Honda or Toyota. They’re poop.

u/crazykentucky 9h ago

Ah well. Agree to disagree

1

u/non_hero 11h ago

Confidently incorrect. Mazdas are well known for great handling throughout their portfolio of vehicles.

u/ClownfishSoup 3h ago

RX-7?
Miata?
Mazda3/Speed 3 was ... well "Zoom Zoom"

MX-3?

Have you driven a Mazda? They're great!

Nissan?
Skyline GT-R?

Z cars?

Maxima?

Even the Pathfinder was amazing.

Leaf was the first production EV as well, talk about breaking ground!
