Mazdas are good cars. I'm actually looking at the Mazda 6 and I've heard great reviews.
My current car is a Ford Escort ZX2. Surprisingly, I've had very few mechanical problems with it (knock on wood) considering it's a Ford. Part of the reason is probably because the ZX2 is basically the Mazda Mx6 with the Ford logo on it. After the discontinuation of the Mx6, Ford created the ZX2 in 1998 using the Mx6 engine, design, etc. If you look at the Consumer Report ratings of the ZX2 and compare it to the other Ford cars, there is a huge difference in the mechanical ratings (the ZX2 having very few problems in comparison to the Taurus or Explorer). I truly believe that the reason is because Mazda had originally designed the car.
