90% of cars are german in wealthier towns in usa. Also in places like beverly hills you might get societal pressure to drive newer luxury car just not to look poor. Then again if you are somebody like mel gibson you can drive anything you like cause everybody knows you have plenty of money no need to show off anymore. Most rich peopl etc celebs still prefer porsce, lambo, tesla, mercedes, bmw and audi and all these are about 60% of european prices in western coast

Skyactiv Mazda 3, Sienna, or Land Cruiser 100.

The last gen Camry seems overpriced compared to these. Would add Cx-5 but pre 16' sales numbers weren't big enough to depress used prices, though the FWD 2.0l models could be bargained for.

Then find an Avalon.

Most have no clue the Landy is the flagship toyota and the ultimate in reliability/durability. The Sienna has incredible development miles due to also being a fleet vehicle. The skyactiv 3 is much more enjoyable than the camry or corolla, engine handling packaging aesthetics interior space (5 door), and is not any less relaible. Very well developed, higher road noise though.

My family is in the auto repair business with multiple repair shops. I'm not a fan of mazda, the part availability isn't as good as Toyota/Honda, and the parts are a higher price for a lower quality product.

The years of them being Ford's bitch did no favors, I still see cut corners and general bullshit when it comes to Mazda, especially the 3 model (skyactiv or not).

My brother even has a 2016 Mazda 3. Simply not a fan, no reason to get one over a Corolla or Civic. The Civic is far more refined and the Corolla is far more reliable.


The saying goes like this, Mazda & Nissan is the price to pay for being poor.

Being Ford's bitch is disingenous when Ford is still using Mazda's last gen engine tech. And I deliberately left out ford parts bin mazda models.

Is a Civic with a CVT more refined than a hot hatch with IRS and the best torque converter for the money? In your opinion.

The mexican corolla being more reliable than a mexican 3 is specious. The mazda fleet is lexus tier reliability. Toyota sells the mazda 2 as their own model, and are in a partnership with Mazda now because 'renault-nissan' lowly Mazda, in 'your opinion'.... literally saved IC.

Corolla and Ranger; those are the only two I've owned. Both are damn good.

Owned these:

1988 Ranger XLT Extended cab
1992 Ranger XLT Reg cab
2000 Ranger xlt reg cab
2005 Corolla (whatever the near top end one was; mine came with sunroof, fog lights, sporty appearance,rear spoiler,black interior) Kinda aside but it was actually made in 04

Ranger is the way to go.
I've owned two and I've paid $600 for the '93 XLT Reg cab Long Bed and $450 for '99 XLT Reg Cab Short Bed.
I've actually made my money back and some more on both of them by parting them out after they died. It's great driving a car you only paid few hundred on. I can park like an ass hole and not worry about getting dinged, play chicken with people who have nice cars, etc etc.
