Yep, this is where Mazda should be for North America.

Australia and Europe is usually higher again, OZ usually #1 or #2.

It is not by accident, but, consistent production excellence, parts control and a dedicated work force....and then consistent retail dealers and fix operations.

GREAT to see...

According to that graph, they were in 4th place last year, too, so didn't change position.
Consistency.

If you think about it Mazda is really number two. Scion and Lexus are just toyota's with different badges. So Mazda is the second most reliable auto maker, fourth most reliable brand. Pretty good for a little car company.
