Reliability
by kapaaian on Thu Sep 04 07:05:12 PDT 2008
Mazda Reliability is kinda a hard thing to really get a grasp on due to a couple factors. These being the type of car, and thus buyer, they attract. And second, the age. Of full car lines, Mazda has the youngest demographic of any brand. Only Scion skews slightly younger, and that's obviously not nearly as diverse a product line. Also, Mazda buyers tend to be enthusiast. Put young and enthusiasm together and you get people who will notice things in their cars. I know that I'll notice a little rattle in my car that only happens when exiting an off ramp at 50 mph while someone with a honda accord or toyota camry won't notice that because they'll never take an off ramp at 50. Young people in general demand more from their products and cars than people beyond then. Also, young people tend to not have kids or other responsibilities. They have the time to take a car in for something minor. A house-wife/house-husband has kids to juggle. They could car less about the little click coming from their back window when they open and close it and oh, it went away before they brought it in for their oil change. (Seen that happen exactly.) What I've seen with Mazda reliability first hand is this. Miata and Mazda3. Bullet proof. Even consumer reports says so. Now check JD power numbers for the mazda3. They're horrid. In fact, they pull the entire line down. Why? Youth and enthusiasm, and volume. Mazda6. Started kinda bad, but evened out a lot toward the end. 2008's were probably on par with Mazda3's from 2007. CX-7 and CX-9. Here's where it get's wierd. I have yet to see a single 7/9 with any engine or transmission problem. With the 7, there were a couple of gas cap recalls and ECM updates and a fuel filler spout replacement on the 7, but nothing ever breaking down. Oh, so let's make the 7 well below ave for reliability. Hmm. Oh, and the bridgestone tires on the 7 don't last long. Try and get one with the goodyear eagles. As for the 9? Who the heck knows. They're been rock solid here and we're not exactly ideal weather here. RX-8. Dumb people buying it = problems. The Renisis engine is made for being driven hard. I've seen an RX-8 with 150k on it. When someone asked him how he had so many with no problems, he said he drove the piss out of it. The vast majority of RX-8 engine problems are with the automatic because those people buy the car for the look, not for the performance. So they drive it 10 mph 1 mile to church and wonder why their engine goes. Don't just trust surveys and reports. Heck, do you really think that there's such a huge difference in reliability between ford and mercury? Umm. No. It's the simple fact that the mercury brand appeals to people who may not notice/care as much.

I would say that the road noise is tolerable. It's not as quiet as a 2007 Accord EX-L. Overall, I'd say that the cabin is pretty quiet. I did notice some wind noise (caused by the mirrors?) over 65 mph. You could have a conversation at normal volume at 65 mph. Tell your salesperson your concern. There should be no problem test driving on the freeway. Might be a good time to get really good financing too! Good luck. :)

The California fees and tax. The DMV has an online calculator for that. Forum rules say not to post names but I can tell you that I used either Edmunds or Kelly Blue Book for the referral (I don't remember which). The internet saleswoman at Riverside responded quickly by phone then followed up with an email. She emailed her price right away. It took a couple of emails to nail down the final out the door price but it was honored and the service at the dealership was friendly and really low pressure. I could have used my financing but they beat it by 1 point. I hope that helps you.

Purchased by internet from Riverside Metro Honda. $16,147 Including Destination, +Taxes,Fees. Stock LX, no add ons. Great service. Internet sales person communicated all prices (including Out the Door) by email. Plus, got American Honda Financing at 4.49%. I drove 50 miles and it was worth it. Very soft push on the HondaCare warranty. I think you'll be satisfied. I bought an Accord last year from Pasadena and the experience was superior in all respects at Riverside Metro.BTW it was Royal Blue Pearl.
More Dough for Delivery
by lemko on Thu Apr 24 12:17:17 PDT 2008
From Hazleton, PA newspaper: More Dough for Delivery Pizza delivery places are also feeling the pinch from the higher gas prices. At Georgio’s Family Restaurant on North Laurel Street, Hazleton, the owner’s son, George Bakos Jr., had plenty to say. “We’re definitely feeling it, from the price of flour tripling in price to beer distributors and garbage haulers raising their prices,” Bakos said. He said his delivery people are complaining, but there’s nothing he can do about it — in order to stay competitive, they can’t raise prices. Francesco Valerio, owner of Brother Bruno Family Restaurant and Pizzeria on Sherman Court in the city, echoed many of those sentiments. “I did raise prices, but I had no choice — it was either that or I would be forced to shut down my business,” Valerio said. “It’s tough, but my customers understand and they love my food.” And the price of flour? “Oh my God,” Valerio exclaimed. “Gas prices are very high, and yes it is affecting my business and other pizza businesses.” Valerio said. “When the gas prices go down I think everything else will follow.” Family-owned businesses are not the only ones affected by the surging gas prices. Papa John’s Pizza is advertised like a national chain, but it is owned locally by Mitul Patel. “We have to charge for deliveries because of the large delivery area we serve,” Patel said. “We go to McAdoo and Eagle Rock. You have to pass some of it along to the customer.” The cost of making the dough for the pizza has risen because of very high flour prices. He said the cost of cheese went up, too. But nothing has gone down, according to Patel, except for profits. “It does hurt if you look at it and our lazy politicians in Washington are doing nothing about it,” Patel said. “You can quote me on that.”
