No it’s not, it’s actually quite the opposite for Mazda and I feel very sorry for the company. In terms of actual quality of the drivetrain, chassis and suspension tuning, they are easily at the top half of all their competitors beating out Kia/Hyundai, Chrysler, EASILY. The fit/finish, material and driver focused seating position deserves far more sales then they get. I want Mazda to move into luxury already - It’s been a long time. They had plans to make a luxury division to compete with the Japanese luxury makes like Infiniti, Acura and Lexus but simply didn’t have enough money because their brand image has been slowly building.
It’s not fair, drive the Jeep sh*tbox that barely outsold the CX-5 side by side with each other and your aill think whoever spent money on this car, or a Chevrolet is a complete dumbass.
