Really? I thought Japanese car interiors were usually poor. I havnt been in the mazda, so maybe they are upping their interior now. Reliable cars with good interior sounds like a good combination

I think that the mazda's have been making their interiors look very plastic instead of giving it a leather look or a nice luxurious look. It might just be that new one!

I totally hate cheap palstic interiors !
Especially,I can't stand it if we talk 'bout the luxurious cars .For the manufacturers , you just use leather as much as you can instead of plastic and you will get backyour expenses anyway !

I agree, i hate the cars with cheap plastic, they make the engine and the exterior look somewhat good, and ruin it with the interior

Another note for the Mazda...do you really want to go with another Ford?

I would say that Volvo has done a great job of simply keeping their distance for Ford. Unlike Jaguar, they make their cars and ford simply gets a cut. A big one at that! I just saw the Mazdaspeed3 and it looks horrendous. Looks like a Pontiac Vibe!

It is not as luxurious as the Jaguar, not even a comparison. It is a car made for speed and handling, although interior is not as bad as some of you might think. Go check it out. Top speed of 155mph. 0-60 in 5.8 secs for only 21K or so. I don't know if that can be beat. Many car magazines rate it the best car in its class.

Yes, it is a Ford product. Before i had a Saab which was a GM product....

Actually I just read in one of the big car magazines that the Ford Mustang was actually voted #1 car out of 20 for being under 20k. They had all cars for under 20k and tested everything.

Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of Stangs forever, but I feel that Ford made them so aFORDable that sometimes even the SVT Cobra looks normal! I know, I know, it's still an awesome car, but you'd have to be a fool to not hate how much they're seen out on the street!
