That's why I've switched to Mercedes Benz. At least they last longer than the crappy Dodge/Fiat bullshit I had been buying. My cheapass hyundai lasted pretty well, but fell to complete useless bits of junk all of a sudden, as they do. Similar stories apply to most of the jap cars I've owned also [except for the MR2 spyder I had to get rid of after the dotcom bubble burst and burst my bubble with it].
Lol, my wife has a toyota. I'm driving an 86 dodge truck as needed and a 2008 rx8 turboed. I need some better damn sense. My shit stays broke down. If not one it's the other. A mazda is just a Ford as of 2009
I somehow managed to destroy my Mazda Miata's transaxle; they said it broke in half!
Some goober still bought it for $2000 - so... WINNING!
SUPER true! Especially diesel ones, but still pretty much all of them before the late 80s made them all dumb and faggy for awhile. With exceptions, of course.
My mechanic was honest and advised I buy one. He rarely has to repair them.
