Cx5 sells well. Even Hyundai and Kia sell better as they offer much better value and luxury. Mazda needs to up its marketing game.

With Kia and Hyundai I have to disagree with the luxury aspect over Mazda...as for value and the warranty yes I agree. I drove a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL for 3K KMs last July for 2 wks and while the engine was powerful and smooth and had lots of nice features which proves why it sells quite well (value for money) it drove like a boat didn't inspire any confidence driving in corners and screamed of cheapness on the materials in the cabin and dash and the suspension was jarring...definitely the CX9 drove better and had more "luxury". Am not generalizing here but just stating based from the comparison between those 2 models...even if you look at the current CX5 the materials inside look more premium than a Tucson.
Why? Is that a rule? I am an auto and motorcycle enthusiast and I test pretty much everything out there. I am a much harsher critic of Toyota after owning 3 of them.
Hyundai/Kia is a huge company. 4th largest automaker in the world. Bigger than Ford and Nissan. Mazda is 15th.
The problem I have with posters like you, and this forum has lots of them, is that lack of any useful information. Just complaints about what Mazda model X does not have. Nothing useful.
These are the types of postings that are deterring me from reading and participating in forums like this as I mostly see gripes and complaints while I would rather read more useful information such as user experiences and/or tech stuff or even tips. I don't mind sharing opinions every once in a while but sometimes the threads become attacks and it just turns me off. I know I won't get my wishes but if most postings are negatives more and more owners of Mazda might just be turned off from the forum. If this happens it's too bad as owners like me would like to continue getting useful and relevant info and vice versa (sharing useful info as well).

You are joking, right? If something doesn't suit my needs, I should just sit down and shut up, and buy something else? How do car companies, or any companies, know how their products are falling short if they don't get any feedback (which sometimes comes in the form of complaints)? Should everyone just have shut up about New Coke and switched to Pepsi instead?They make a product that most people on this forum have purchased because they fit their needs. No need to harp about the features a given model does not have.
Welcome to the internet.

We are not talking reliability yet but kia and Hyundai are leaps ahead of Mazda now.
No, if the car does not suit your needs, don't buy it. Go tell the company instead of continually whining on this forum.
According to who? CR has Kia at #5 followed by Mazda at #6 and Hyundai at #7. That's not "leaps" ahead.
