I think people, from my interaction with them everyday at work, that many Honda/Toyota/Nissan/Mazda buyers look at CR for reliability and quality before they look at JD Powers. From talking to a lot of people in the auto industry, connected to many different mfgr's, JD Powers is not really regarded as a great source for anything. They are more like a Car and Driver ...

Forget ME, if others cared, wouldn't a "most wanted" mainstream car actually sell better than Mazda6 does? Thru September 2006, Mazda had sold 52.5K units, and this year, the number is at 44K. What makes for a "most wanted" car? Is its "want" being limited by production? Or is it limited by demand? I would love for you to explain that, instead of trying to jump on ... Read More...

It is not too expensive to have two platforms if they warm over the existing 2007 platform with new sheetmetal and interior. That is what has been done with the Ford Focus for the last several years and they are going to again stretch it a few more years with the restyled 2008 Focus. Ford is doing this to save money, and they never did that before either, so it is possible ... Read More...

Simply tightening up a suspension, and making a car ride (and feel) like a go cart, does not change the laws of physics and the ultimate terminal understeer that all cars of this genre must suffer from. In summary, if Mazda really wanted to compete on these 25 mph curvies you reference they also need to get out of the FWD car business (as do many other mfgrs.). I would ... Read More...

Mazda6 Lease Questions

Re: October figures [Car_man]

Written by: doug_t on Oct 18, 2007 07:24 PM

Hi Car_Man. Are you sure about Mazda no longer having any lease deals on the 2007's? There still seems to be one posted on the Mazda site, good through 10/31. I assume that when I see something like this, they are still offering aggressive lease terms on the car, no? Thanks so much for all your time and effort here. - Doug ======================================================= ... Read More...

Sales of the 09

Written by: moparbad on Sep 12, 2007 09:40 AM

All I can hope for is that Mazda will stop selling over 40% of Mazda6 into rental fleet sales. 43% of 2007 Mazda6 were selling into Fleet! The effect on residuals is horrible! Read More...

Ahhhh, mickylyn, I see that you mentioned the missing information in your next post. OK, I have already provided you with the 36 month, 15k info. Mazda Credit's current 24 month, 15,000 mile per year buy rate lease money factor and residual value for the 2008 Mazda6s Sedan are .00102 and 59%. The numbers for a 48 month, 15k lease are .00195 and 43%. If you were to lease ... Read More...

Hello mickylyn. This car's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either off these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Mazda Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease ... Read More...

how on earth could KBB or NADA (or anybody) anticipate that the market for 6s would get so bad that $6k discounts would have to be offered and those resale values would necessarily decrease by a similar amount? Other then that one Texas dealer you told me about, I have not seen $6K in discounts. I am a Mazda dealer, and I would be losing major money if I sold them at discounts ... Read More...
