Alot of car ppl here. No suprise there. My current vehicle is a Jeep Liberty.
After driving one for awhile, its hard to get comfortable with the low down seating of a car.
And Jeeps can cut sharp, good for parking lots, unlike other truck-like suv's.
I like my Jeep. Just wish it was 4 wheel drive. Make rainy days extra fun. 🙂
 
I had a 2002 Mazda 5, till I got hit by a V10 Econoline at 10 MPH and my entire front end disintegrated. Those little asian cars might seem nice and efficient, until you get hit.

Now I have a 2003 chevy S10 three-door. The interior isnt nearly as nice and the thing is a gas hog, but I want to at least survive a minor accident.

IIRC, all Mazda's except the Mazdaspeed's are built in Flint, Michigan.

Edit:

Do you mean the Mazda 5, which was a minivan, or the MX-5 (Miata)?

Thats interesting. I once had a buddy from flint, and your post explains so much about him, the city of flint, and mazdas.

Anywho, the designs are all asian. Just like american designed cars are made in mexico or somewhere else or at least get all their parts from germany.

Negative. Pretty much every Mazda except the non-Speed6's and the Tributes are built in Japan.

Yeah, I just figured that out in my research...my bad. Looks like pretty much all normal 6's are out of Flint...well...north american ones.

😕

My post explains all Mazda's?

Are you one of those that decides on a whole brand by your experience with one car?
