    Since I was the one bashing MAZDA (older models).....

    I'm guessing you calling me a hater....

    I don't know how you would be "hatting" but I'll explain the hating.

    First of all, I don't even see how you could bash the older models since those were pretty much bullet proof. The only time Mazda's reliability could be questioned is when the famous Found On Road Dead company put their shitty parts on Mazda cars. And even then, all the models weren't affected. If Mazdas are so unreliable, how do you explain the ones that make it to 250K+ miles? I've even quite a few Mazda designed KLDE engines (found on the MX6, 626, and Probe) with 300K on them.

    But like I said, there will always be haters or whatever you want to call them. It's impossible to like every automaker. But to say that VW is more reliable than Mazda, give me a break. We used to have a Jetta. That car had more electrical problems than any other car we've ever owned. But I expected you to say that considering you own an Audi. You can't help but be a fan of what you drive which is why I like Mazda (and Toyota) so much.

    Hope that cleared it up for you.

    Still doesnt explain.. why im hatting....... Im speaking TRUTH based on EXPERIENCE. I have owned 2 MAZDA's... a 626 and a MX-3... BOTH PIECES OF SHIT. Maybe not enough to justify me saying they suck.. But enough based on personal experience.
    My Brother used to own a 626... Piece of shit... My cousin used to Own a 626 piece of shit...
    And we wont even go into the RX7 shit... even though they are NICE Looking cars.. They suck.....

    I would consider someone hatting/hatter someone who can't have or own something.... and decides to talk shit about it. Simply a jealous person.

    I never said VW's dont break down.. BUT BASED on PERSONAL experience, I havent had any issues with my AUDI and know a few people with VW's and AUDI and havent had any issues. But I'm Not saying it wont fuck up And BTW, Im willing to bet I give my AUDI more heat then your 626.. you probably got it to look "PRETTY" fuc* all that. .. because seriously, what else can you do with it.

    Ok, you can count in one hand how many Mazda's are out thre with 250K+ miles still driving....

    But really, Who cares.. Theres plenty of Chevy, fords, Vw's, Hondas, Yotas and so on with that many miles so you are not saying nothing

    Lucky you own a Scion to pick up the slack when your 626 decides to blow a head gasket or tranny starts slipping if it hasnt already...

    haha thats why a Got a Toyota also... just incase the Audi (VW) decides to take a crapper, so is ok man...

    And I bet they were 4cyl automatics with the CD4E tranny which was designed and implemented by Ford, not Mazda.

    Exactly why I don't have one. It's not because of the car, it's the owners that don't know how to take care of them.

    I never said VW's dont break down.. BUT BASED on PERSONAL experience, I havent had any issues with my AUDI and know a few people with VW's and AUDI and havent had any issues. But I'm Not saying it wont fuck up
    Guess your luck is better than mine.

    And BTW, Im willing to bet I give my AUDI more heat then your 626.. you probably got it to look "PRETTY" fuc* all that. .. because seriously, what else can you do with it.
    That's one of the main reasons I have one. How often do you see a 626 that's been done up? I like being unique and not going with the crowd. You learn to appreciate the mods you do to your car because there aren't a million aftermarket companies making parts for your car.

    But really, Who cares.. Theres plenty of Chevy, fords, Vw's, Hondas, Yotas and so on with that many miles so you are not saying nothing
    You're not saying much either, buddy. Just giving your OPINION just like I am.

    Lucky you own a Scion to pick up the slack when your 626 decides to blow a head gasket or tranny starts slipping if it hasnt already...
    I doubt that will ever happen.

    haha thats why a Got a Toyota also... just incase the Audi (VW) decides to take a crapper, so is ok man...
    Hey it's all good. I don't get worked up over the int3rnetz.

    My 626 was a 4 banger and the MX-3 was a V6.. GS.

    4 cylinder or not, they sucked. Everyone always uses the excuse your using.. ahh.. trying ot be diffrent and blah blah.... If you want to be diffrent.. By an exotic or something that we dont see everyday....
    I can get on cardomain and I bet I can find a few 626's

    Be diffrent, thats cool.. but in my eyes.. The mazda "I" owned were junks... especially the 626...

    And Im not saying much ? haha.. If im not saying much why you replying then?

    But hey... Blame ford all you want......But I see more fords in the rodes then I do mazda with higher miles....... They might not be running that great.. but they are still going.......

    Yeah I bet you could since they've been making them since 1979.

    Oh well. Maybe the car didn't like you lol.

    I have nothing better to do so this helps pass the time.

    Yeah I guess that would be the case considering for every 1 Mazda produced, there are like 20 Fords produced.
