I own a Mazda 626 Sedan in Prestige Silver colour, 1990 model ... bought brand new in Melbourne, Australia as a gift from my father for my 18th birthday. He paid $ 32,000 Australian dollars for it back then! It's now 32 years old, has done 500,000 kilometres and l continue to drive it daily. Has never failed me. Unbelievable car. I cannot part with it. My first and so far, only car ...!! People cant believe it.
The 626 from that era was an amazing car, I have no idea if modern Mazda are as well made or not, I suspect that they are not because consumers today have no desire for the car to last that long, they would rather “recycle” the car after 10 years or so.
I can believe you, I have Mazda 323 2000 model, and yes it never left me on the road. Despite being a cheap and low-end car with a small engine, this car was and is extremely fun to drive in mountain turns with a balanced power-to-weight body. Japanese knows how to make good and reliable stuff.
LIE LIE LIE I STILL HAVE THE BILLS I PAID, THE PHOTOS OF THE BROKEN PARTS, THE CAR IS A CX5 AND A 2015 MODEL, IT HAS 160 KM, IT'S NOT JUST ME, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, NO ONE IS SATISFIED. THIS IS A GARBAGE CAR. SHE Spent 7000 EURO FOR THE CAR WITH 160 KM. DAMN IT, SUCH A CAR. AYA
Everything Japan makes is well build and last for decades. You name it, cars, electronics, clothing, they take pride in their work and I love that about their culture.
LOL I had Sony monitor and it was crap. Authorized service didn't help me. I had personal voice recorder and it loudspeaker is bad. The brand doesn't matter nowadays.
I’ve had my Mazda3 for almost 5 years now. No other car in this price range can keep up with it when it comes to quality, design, accessories and especially the engine. It feels luxurious and powerful.
@@mattkasicki301 haha I hope you realize your dream is very different to the reality, Mazda is the fastest car in it's segment and it is tested by many people on race tracks, just youtube them.

The fact that these workers can just go happily along the line of mismatched makes and models is really impressive. It shows you how well trained they are, have to know how to run 5 different lines at once. The more I learn about Mazda, the more I'm convinced they're my next vehicle.
Great respect to all Japanese workers, they make their job very carefully and accurately. I love Japan and cars made in Japan. "Made in Japan" - it's a synonym of quality! Peace to all of us!)))
Interesting to me the number of comments here from Mazda owners, pretty much all of whom have good things to say about their cars. Definitely an underrated brand. Zoom zoom.
@@JuanCaBaez car factory standard is 0.6mm thick and yes metal rust, next time buy a very expensive audi with a "space" frame that oxidizes ;) every car manufacturer has it's problems with a or more models they make. Look at Tesla: the panel fitment is mostly junk.

I currently have an '18 Mazda 6 with manual - 40k in just over two years (I drive a lot) and its been flawless. Also, this is my third Mazda in 13 years. Amazing cars.
Mazda is extremely underrated and I have no idea why they seem to be one of the smaller brands. Some of my friends haven't even heard of Mazda and I'm amazed by what they're missing out on. I would recommend Mazdas any day
Mazda fatal mistake was when mazda joined ford. They were awsome cars before they joined ford. Then mazda woke up and left ford. Now they make real Japanese quality cars again.
@@lemonstrangler not in my area, while Mazda is pretty common it's nowhere near as common as brands like Ford, VW or BMW. I've seen more Teslas in my country than Mazdas
Mazda is a small car manufacturer in Japan. I know the history of Mazda for almost 70 years in Japan. 30 years ago Mazda's cars depreciated so quickly. However, Mazda now makes very quality cars. I like cars very much, so when I bought a car, I thoroughly investigated, compared in detailed and test drove the cars of the same category. Mazda's cars satisfied me very much compared with Toyota, Honda and other Japanese cars. Enjoy driving your Mazda's car, if you have.
Cool to see. I work in a Honda plant. Even though the processes are slightly varied, I know what's happening every step of the way. (Love my Mazda car btw 😄)
I worked in Marysville decades ago, left in 1998. But I took the Mazda factory tour in 2015 when I was on a trip to Hiroshima. The biggest difference I noticed was the flexible manufacturing at Mazda. At Honda, they build basically the same model in a plant, in lots of 60 - for example, 60 Accord EX sedans in the same color, same feature packages, all in a row. (I assume it’s pretty much the same today.) They added some model flexibility when they started building Acura models. At Mazda, I saw an MX-5, then a CX-9, then another model, one after the other. Seems less efficient on paper but then they don’t need the excess manufacturing capacity to build 3 models. Look at 22:22 and you’ll see what I mean. Different models and colors, one by one. You’ll never see Honda do that. P..S - I bought a used Accord EX V6 on my last day of work at Honda. It was a manager vehicle, with 60k, and was better than my other car was even when new. And almost 25 years later, I still miss being at Honda. Working there was the fulfillment of a dream to work at a Japanese transplant. While I went on to make more money elsewhere in automotive, part of me regrets leaving there.
I own a 2009 CX-9 Grand touring since brand new, now 133K miles. Two minor repairs over the past 12 years: (1) driver side door motor - replaced gear myself; (2) rear structs leaking oil - replaced by auto shop. Interior and exterior hold up very well. The car still runs like new. In contrast my wife's 2008 Acura TL developed couple of more serious mechanical and electronic issues way before 100K miles. The "leather" seats started to crack few years ago. Its interior looks like a 30 years old car. Mazda really put in quality stuff.
Matt Kasicki Japanese cars don’t have $10,000 plus engine repairs in less than 100,000 miles like German counter parts. Yes the interiors on the German vehicles are much better but mechanically Japanese are better.
Matt Kasicki GERMEN by far create the most unreliable endless money pit cars ever, they are purposefully made so that you spend extra money on repairing it
You get what you pay for and then some with Mazda. Their interiors look so nice for the price. They could use a little ambient lighting in the doors and on the dash, something subtle like what Volvo has done with their cars. Nothing like a night club like some other companies have inside. More ambient lighting would really compliment Mazda interiors nicely!
I don't agree with ambient light. It's distracting and is raising fatigue and makes it more difficult during night drive. I would rather like a "dark cockpit" function, like Saab was making it back then.
Mazda Soul Red color is the most beautiful red color compared with other red color cars. One day I was waiting to change a traffic light, one big Cadillac stopped next to my car. He gave me a nice compliment about my Mazda3 Soul Red color.
I have a 2014 Mazda6 purchased in February 2013. Can’t tell you how happy I am about it’s looks, driving dynamics, reliability and comfort. It’s been 7 and half years did not have one single problem.
Japanese folks are so polite they bow to greet each other. When jet planes depart the airport, workers wave and then bow to the jet in unison. Even these robots are polite. They look like they are bowing to each other.
Henry Ford would have a heart attack if he saw how far his plans for assembly line manufacturing has come. I’m almost done the show and I’ve seen less than twenty live people on the screen so far. Japan is amazing when it comes to putting together cars
I love my CX-5. The best car I have ever had. Practicality combined with fun to drive and excellent handling and driving experience with that lovely styling.
Purchased a Mazda 3 SP25 in Adelaide, Australia in 2018. I've done 200k in the car, no issues at all. Absolutely loved it. Just bought a CX-5 Akera for the wife. The quality is amazing. Great products. I wouldn't buy another brand of car ever again.
Forget Tokyo, Hiroshima is a beautiful city to visit. It’s got everything a big city in Japan has to offer with less crowd. The peace park with the A bomb Dome is something people have to visit once in there life.
the fact that my 2017 3 HB was 99 percent made in japan helped clench my decision to purchase the car. I absolutely love how much inspection occurs all down the line. And how much double checking the robots do of their position before they do their welding or putting body panels on. Thanks for the upload edit: Apparently my 3 HB was lovingly caressed by many japanese men.
I think Mazda3s are made in Hofu plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Hiroshima plant produces CX-3, CX-5, CX-8, CX-9, Miata, and Bongo truck. Hofu plant produces 2, 3, 6, and CX-30. Edit: I forgot that Hiroshima plant also produces Abarth 124 Spider. Hofu plant might producing CX-5s.
The 2014+ HB is unusual in that it's beautiful in every single color it's offered in. There is literally no bad color on that car. The 2019+ HB is odd in that it doesn't look great in pictures but is drop-dead gorgeous in person. Stand directly behind it and step back 8 to 10 feet for my favorite view of the vehicle.
And when I saw the little white Mazda 3 came down the line--and then looked out in my garage and saw the same little car (one exactly like it anyway)....wow, it was amazing! It is incredible to watch something like this being built. A GREAT little car, by the way.
I have a 2018 Mazda6 with 60,000 miles. Perfect... It is a pleasure to drive. I'm glad to see more Mazdas on the road and that more drivers have discovered Mazda.
Proud Mazda Owner here bought my first car this Year, although it's only a second hand but i love it so much, btw it's mazda 3 2004 model, the interior is almost the same for the latest model of vios and honda, the interior still intact and beautiful.
22:50 there are lots of great things I can say about my MX5 but the one that always surprises me is that it has the best headlights of any car I've ever driven, including other Mazdas. I don't know what is so different about them but they are truly amazing
it is amazing how my Mazda 3 skyactiv-x that was made almost entirely by machines can come out without a single vibration or annoyance or defect and work flawlessly in every way. Thanks Mazda!
I had a mazda 6 2005 model. The car was amazing and loaded with features. The coolest thing is that they built the car such a way that is easy for upgradations and affordable spares.and a great fuel efficiency.
In 2004 I bought my first Japanese car ever. A Mazda 3 hatchback while I was living in Hawaii. Fast Forward to today with 104k miles I still have it, best car I have ever owned. Other than routine maintenance and a cracked gas pump retaining ring, no issues at all. Never failed to start, aircon is still working fine. And yes, it still has "Zoom Zoom."
@@hervedupont6955 All true Zoom Zooming in Southern California. Zoom Zoomed on a trip to Vancouver, British Colombia to include Oregon and Washington. And Zoom Zoomed on a few trips to Las Vegas. Still the very best car I have ever owned. I've been considering getting a new Mazda CX 3 or 5. Would like a hybrid with better gas mileage. Unfortunately new car prices and dealer markups are making me rethink this. I could have my Mazda repainted the same color, new shocks and struts, 114k miles, and be tens of thousands of dollars ahead. Savings would buy a lot of gas.
What other premium brands forget is luxury comes from passionate craftsmanship.. you can mass produce a boring “car” all day long, but it will never be on the same level as a machine from Mazda.
14 years ago, my wife traded her Miata (loved it but needed more room) for a Mazda SIX. We take care of it like it’s a Rolls Royce. It’s still shiny, it’s has had only two minor repairs and it still runs great. its a classic. We are retired and need only one vehicle so I sold my 11 year old Yukon also an excellent vehicle and we are trading the Mazda SIX for a Mazda CX-5. I will say, the new Mazda SIX signature is very impressive too!
The build quality of my 2020 cx-5 is excellent, now I see why. A friend had suggested I look at one, it wasn't originally on my list, very happy I did.
I'm a big fan of Japanese cars. They are excellently built. My Toyota Yaris was solid for many years, my rental was a Mazda CX-5 and I immediately fell in love with the interior design, the calm power and the well-thought-through dashboard. There is a lot of emotion going on when you drive a car like that. Now I drive a Honda Jazz/Fit and that one is fantastic too. REI!
I have a 2015 Mazda 6 GT made in Hiroshima, Japan! Since it was a special order ( with all the options I wanted), I had to wait 2 and half month for it. It was worth it!! I LOVE MY MAZDA!!! I have been driving it for 5 years, it has NEVER given me any problems! Kind of cool to see where my baby was born! 😋👌
@@illusionyx907 For my fully loaded top of the line brand new 2015 Mazda 6 GT after taxes and dealer fees etc... I paid $35K. I currently have 129,000 miles on it and it still drive like a brand new car! Of course, I have been getting the oil changes and the basic maintenance done since day 1, always on time. I am pretty convinced I can drive it for at least another 130,000 miles. What is cool about Mazda is that you never get tired of driving it. It's always fun to zoom, zoom!! -:)
I have a 2017 CX5 (Red Soul) and a 2018 CX3 (Metallic Ceramic) both loaded GX's HUD equipped. Nice Economical and great handling. love the sport mode and the paddle shifting on my CX3 in manual mode.
I had a 2010 Mazda 3, then I strayed to a Nissan Rogue and a VW GTI. Went back to a CX-5 and now finally the new 2021 Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo. It is a piece of beauty and power.
I have the Protegé5 Mazda (2002) and still use it. Need a paint worl but still have years of good service. Last year I bought a CX3 and I love it but the trunk space it's less spacious than the Protegé5.
Still drive my 2004 Mazda 3 2.3L 5 speed, got around 200,000k on her now but never had a problem and owned since new! thank you Mazda for doing such an amazing job!❤
Yes indeed. The Japanese are consummate artisans. Having confirmed that, who the dickens would buy either a Chinese car, a Chinese wrist watch or a Chinese heart-pacemaker for dear old Grandma (unless you disliked her)
@@gellerthajos8011 Ford took over Mazda, Toyota & Honda by the late 1990's. Many of these vehicles are "made" in Japan, but certainly not design in Japan.
In manufacturing/assembly, it is astronomically difficult to get product out that is near 99% right first time at this sort of speed in any case. My 2019 Mazda3 is 2.5 years old and not one thing is out of place, everything is solid just as it left the factory. When you consider the number of elements there are to developing a car (R&D, design, engine development, trials, on-the-road testing, software/technology incorporation, component layout, structural design, interior design and fittings, press tools, external suppliers, servicing and wear and tear considerations, and most importantly "can it be made?..." The list goes on,) it's astonishing how easily we take it for granted. I fully respect the people who all played a part in developing the 3 (and any other Mazda) and the operators/technicians that put them together daily with great consistency, as they couldn't have made it any better.
I love my Mazda-3 zoom-zoom, Attractive design, reliable power-train, great handling characteristics. Only thing I wish Mazda to change is the sheet metals to stronger ones or galvanize the one used to make Mazdas. They rust quickly if not protected or undercoated, Not everybody lives in California sunshine. Thanks for the rare video WN
To rust you have to live near the cost. The salted air is very corrosive. I believe all Mazda's sheetmetal is galvanized. Normally you have a warranty for that.
True! My 2020 Honda Civic was built in Canada, and 6,700 miles later, it is a freaking rattle box and the seats already squeak like an old car with ten times the mileage. I have even been in a 2019 Kia Forte with 12,300 miles and not a single rattle and the seats do not make any sound. A shame since the Honda's I have been around in the past had near perfect fit and finish, even the freaking 8th gens Civics aside from the paint quality of course. Mazda on the other hand seemed to have improved even faster than Hyundai since they have been separate from Ford since 2013.
I own a Mazda 626 Sedan in Prestige Silver colour, 1990 model ... bought brand new in Melbourne, Australia as a gift from my father for my 18th birthday. He paid $ 32,000 Australian dollars for it back then! It's now 32 years old, has done 500,000 kilometres and l continue to drive it daily. Has never failed me. Unbelievable car.

More ambient lighting would really compliment Mazda interiors nicely!
Agree
I agree 1000%. I’ve been saying this about my Mazda CX-5 that I leased in July. It would be so exciting
I agree with lights in the dash board, the rest is pure perfection, thanks Mazda
I don't agree with ambient light. It's distracting and is raising fatigue and makes it more difficult during night drive. I would rather like a "dark cockpit" function, like Saab was making it back then.
@@boboutelama5748 I agree, as far as Mercedes ambient light goes...have you seen how much of a nightclub their new interiors look? It's absurd.
MAZDA red soul the most beautiful color in the world
I wish they had a bright blue inspired by the red soul depth of color. I've seen the Blue Mica and it's not quite bright enough.
@@TomZ23 I have Deep Crystal Blue and it's awesome especially at night
Yeah, it's true but the red soul is also susceptible to scratches. But I love it in my CX-30.
Love my Soul Red Crystal CX-5
Mazda Soul Red color is the most beautiful red color compared with other red color cars.
One day I was waiting to change a traffic light, one
big Cadillac stopped next to my car. He gave me a nice compliment about my Mazda3 Soul Red color.
I had a 2014 Mazda 6. Loved that car but needed a SUV so I bought a 2019 CX5. It might be the best vehicle I've ever owned. Fascinating video.
Totally agree with you
2014 mazda 6 was the best handling of that thing was amazing newer models are focused on bit more luxury.
i recently bought a used 2014 mazda 6... the cycle goes on :)
I have a 2014 Mazda6 purchased in February 2013. Can’t tell you how happy I am about it’s looks, driving dynamics, reliability and comfort. It’s been 7 and half years did not have one single problem.
I'm from Brazil and i have a Mazda Protege 1995, 126000 km !!! And it's a amazing car!!
Japanese folks are so polite they bow to greet each other. When jet planes depart the airport, workers wave and then bow to the jet in unison. Even these robots are polite. They look like they are bowing to each other.
先月注文した車が今週末から生産始まるそうで、こんな感じに出来上がって行くんだなぁと感慨深く視聴しました。
Henry Ford would have a heart attack if he saw how far his plans for assembly line manufacturing has come. I’m almost done the show and I’ve seen less than twenty live people on the screen so far. Japan is amazing when it comes to putting together cars
I love my CX-5. The best car I have ever had. Practicality combined with fun to drive and excellent handling and driving experience with that lovely styling.
good for u .. im totaly happy with my car... like 130% happy , but my next car wil be a mazda...
Happy for you sir..from another CX5 owner 😍
Same! and the fact that it tops in offroad too is just another example of excellence at all fields.
Your comments are appreciated! I also owned a CX-5 & LOVED IT!
Мазда сх-5 в России подешевели сильно
Purchased a Mazda 3 SP25 in Adelaide, Australia in 2018. I've done 200k in the car, no issues at all. Absolutely loved it. Just bought a CX-5 Akera for the wife. The quality is amazing. Great products. I wouldn't buy another brand of car ever again.
im proud of being mazda car owner.. love the car soo much
Forget Tokyo, Hiroshima is a beautiful city to visit. It’s got everything a big city in Japan has to offer with less crowd. The peace park with the A bomb Dome is something people have to visit once in there life.
Jason I lived there and found it quite depressing. To each their own though
I own a 2019 CX-9. It was built in Japan. The car is flawless! Great car!
Interesting that they have different cars in line and different drive sides! Just amazing.
My 2019 Mazda3 hatchback built at the Hiroshima plant Japan.
when I opened the door of my 17 HB and saw that it was made in Japan. I 😁 with joy
the fact that my 2017 3 HB was 99 percent made in japan helped clench my decision to purchase the car.
I absolutely love how much inspection occurs all down the line. And how much double checking the robots do of their position before they do their welding or putting body panels on.
Thanks for the upload
edit: Apparently my 3 HB was lovingly caressed by many japanese men.
I think Mazda3s are made in Hofu plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Hiroshima plant produces CX-3, CX-5, CX-8, CX-9, Miata, and Bongo truck. Hofu plant produces 2, 3, 6, and CX-30.
Edit: I forgot that Hiroshima plant also produces Abarth 124 Spider. Hofu plant might producing CX-5s.
The 2014+ HB is unusual in that it's beautiful in every single color it's offered in. There is literally no bad color on that car. The 2019+ HB is odd in that it doesn't look great in pictures but is drop-dead gorgeous in person. Stand directly behind it and step back 8 to 10 feet for my favorite view of the vehicle.
Me too, Hiroshima😁
And when I saw the little white Mazda 3 came down the line--and then looked out in my garage and saw the same little car (one exactly like it anyway)....wow, it was amazing! It is incredible to watch something like this being built. A GREAT little car, by the way.
Why don’t they make the Mazda 6 sedan anymore for sale in the USA?
I have a 2018 Mazda6 with 60,000 miles. Perfect... It is a pleasure to drive. I'm glad to see more Mazdas on the road and that more drivers have discovered Mazda.
Proud Mazda Owner here bought my first car this Year, although it's only a second hand but i love it so much, btw it's mazda 3 2004 model, the interior is almost the same for the latest model of vios and honda, the interior still intact and beautiful.
It's remarkable how few people are actually working here with so much of the production being done by robotics.
@@cncaltus8155 bout 3
22:50 there are lots of great things I can say about my MX5 but the one that always surprises me is that it has the best headlights of any car I've ever driven, including other Mazdas. I don't know what is so different about them but they are truly amazing
Lincoln headlights are good too. They follow your steering wheel
Great video! Proud Mazda owner! Congrats Mazda for 100 years!
I just closed a deal for a 2021 CX-5 and I pick it up in a couple days. So excited!
Get it ceramic coated and wash it by hand. Mazda paint job is terrible. Also get it coated underneath.
@@Jonas19912 See Honda for crappy paint *and peeling clear coating.*
I leased one in July. I really like it but I find the seats to be a little too firm.
This video was so soothing and stressful at the same time.
it is amazing how my Mazda 3 skyactiv-x that was made almost entirely by machines can come out without a single vibration or annoyance or defect and work flawlessly in every way. Thanks Mazda!
Zelanie I have same car and should have bought Mazda’s years ago. It doesn’t even feel like you in a smallish car. It’s nippy. Fuel efficient. Popular
I had a mazda 6 2005 model. The car was amazing and loaded with features. The coolest thing is that they built the car such a way that is easy for upgradations and affordable spares.and a great fuel efficiency.
Invoice says my 2014 Mazda 6 was made in February 2013 in Hofu, Japan. Japanese workers build quality products. This video is amazing!
¡MAZDAAAA! 👏🤩💓🛸💞😍🥳🚀 HAPPY 100 YEARS!
I'm in awe the entire time watching this.
So much heart and soul go into these Mazda's...thank you!
It's interesting to see how physically fit the line workers appear to be.
Mazda turns out great vehicles.
The level of automation is amazing! I have a Soul Red Mazda CX-5 and I am quite proud and happy with it. So satisfying to watch this video!
In 2004 I bought my first Japanese car ever. A Mazda 3 hatchback while I was living in Hawaii. Fast Forward to today with 104k miles I still have it, best car I have ever owned. Other than routine maintenance and a cracked gas pump retaining ring, no issues at all. Never failed to start, aircon is still working fine. And yes, it still has "Zoom Zoom."
Oui mais vous n'êtes plus à Hawaii zoum zoum
@@hervedupont6955 All true Zoom Zooming in Southern California. Zoom Zoomed on a trip to Vancouver, British Colombia to include Oregon and Washington. And Zoom Zoomed on a few trips to Las Vegas. Still the very best car I have ever owned.
I've been considering getting a new Mazda CX 3 or 5. Would like a hybrid with better gas mileage. Unfortunately new car prices and dealer markups are making me rethink this.
I could have my Mazda repainted the same color, new shocks and struts, 114k miles, and be tens of thousands of dollars ahead. Savings would buy a lot of gas.
自分の車が広島の工場で作られてるのは知ってましたが
作り上げていく工程が見れて嬉しいです。
更に、凄い技術とスタッフ皆さんの手際の良さ丁寧さ
安心してマツダ車に乗れると

I have always owned Mazda cars since I was a teenager. I can tell you they are the best driving cars out there and the reliability is great.
Tears of joy watching my 2020 CX9 on it's way home to me
I DRIVE A MAZDA, GREAT CAR.
Какая у тебя Мазда ?

What other premium brands forget is luxury comes from passionate craftsmanship.. you can mass produce a boring “car” all day long, but it will never be on the same level as a machine from Mazda.
Get to pick-up my 2021 CX-5 on Wednesday. Yahoo!!
congrats! waiting for my CX9
14 years ago, my wife traded her Miata (loved it but needed more room) for a Mazda SIX. We take care of it like it’s a Rolls Royce. It’s still shiny, it’s has had only two minor repairs and it still runs great. its a classic. We are retired and need only one vehicle so I sold my 11 year old Yukon also an excellent vehicle and we are trading the Mazda SIX for a Mazda CX-5. I will say, the new Mazda SIX signature is very impressive too!

Even though I was tired, I watched the entire video. Very impressive Mazda !
Amazing!all those moving parts!AND the workers on the line and it moves...amaze.
The build quality of my 2020 cx-5 is excellent, now I see why. A friend had suggested I look at one, it wasn't originally on my list, very happy I did.
My 2019 Mazda 3 hatchback was made in one of those factories. 😊
I am sure you have a very quality compact car of Mazda3 hatchback. Mine is 2014 model of the hatchback.
If the VIN starts with a "J" then yes.
Mine too. I checked the door when I got it.
Do they export this cars to europe and usa?
@@Lordosvk yup, US anyways. The sedan is mostly Mexican made though
Best quality cars! Simply loving it
The most gorgeous shade of red ever. When I see a CX-5 or a Miata with this shade of red I immediately turn to look at it.
I'm a big fan of Japanese cars. They are excellently built. My Toyota Yaris was solid for many years, my rental was a Mazda CX-5 and I immediately fell in love with the interior design, the calm power and the well-thought-through dashboard. There is a lot of emotion going on when you drive a car like that. Now I drive a Honda Jazz/Fit and that one is fantastic too. REI!
I've got a CX3 which is lovely.
Sameee
Not made in Japan sorry
@@Montana270 That's what I want. A cx3. I currently have a 2
Joseph Juguilon yes the CX-3 is made in Japan
@@Chorizomicks there are CX-3's in this video
Some Japanese dude: "I drive a new car every day!"
And get paid.
I love my 2023 cx5 turbo machine grey ! It’s going to last forever .
2018 Mazda 3 Touring owner here from Australia.....Absolutely love my car ❤️❤️❤️
My 2010 Mazda 6 is still going strong likes new. Of course, I kept it maintained as scheduled. Good car to keep.
My '09 is going great and I'm still loving it. BTW, the 2nd Gen Mazda we are talking about were built in Flat Rock, MI, U.S.A.
Mate we're dailying a 2000 Familia.
We too, have a 2010 Mazda 6. Owned for over 9 years now...the longest ANY car has been in the fam. Got 239K on the clock and STILL gets down...😁
Zoom zoom
5 days ago, our 2009 mazda 6 TS2 timing chain broke. Complete write off ):
I have a 2015 Mazda 6 GT made in Hiroshima, Japan! Since it was a special order ( with all the options I wanted), I had to wait 2 and half month for it. It was worth it!! I LOVE MY MAZDA!!! I have been driving it for 5 years, it has NEVER given me any problems! Kind of cool to see where my baby was born! 😋👌
How much this toy costs?
@@illusionyx907 For my fully loaded top of the line brand new 2015 Mazda 6 GT after taxes and dealer fees etc... I paid $35K. I currently have 129,000 miles on it and it still drive like a brand new car! Of course, I have been getting the oil changes and the basic maintenance done since day 1, always on time. I am pretty convinced I can drive it for at least another 130,000 miles. What is cool about Mazda is that you never get tired of driving it. It's always fun to zoom, zoom!! -:)
I have a 2017 CX5 (Red Soul) and a 2018 CX3 (Metallic Ceramic) both loaded GX's HUD equipped. Nice Economical and great handling. love the sport mode and the paddle shifting on my CX3 in manual mode.
I had a 2010 Mazda 3, then I strayed to a Nissan Rogue and a VW GTI. Went back to a CX-5 and now finally the new 2021 Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo. It is a piece of beauty and power.
Precision and meticulous manufacturing in Japan. The Japanese know how to make good stuff.
I am proud of having a Mazda 626. I guess it was also manufactured at this factory in 1993 😃😃
Rare car man, take care of her
I have the Protegé5 Mazda (2002) and still use it. Need a paint worl but still have years of good service. Last year I bought a CX3 and I love it but the trunk space it's less spacious than the Protegé5.
Still drive my 2004 Mazda 3 2.3L 5 speed, got around 200,000k on her now but never had a problem and owned since new! thank you Mazda for doing such an amazing job!❤
My mom is still driving her 2010 cx9 touring. Still one of the nicest cars ever with the coolest features even in 2010.
Love my 2016 MX-5 Club ... aka Miata ! May they live on in history ! TY Mazda !
The reason I bought my M3 BP hatchback: Japanese quality
Yes indeed. The Japanese are consummate artisans. Having confirmed that, who the dickens would buy either a Chinese car, a Chinese wrist watch or a Chinese heart-pacemaker for dear old Grandma (unless you disliked her)
Ford, no Mazda
@@gellerthajos8011 wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
@@gellerthajos8011 Ford took over Mazda, Toyota & Honda by the late 1990's. Many of these vehicles are "made" in Japan, but certainly not design in Japan.
This is truly an amazing video! I recently purchased a 2020 MX-5 Miata RF GT and I absolutely love it, thank you Mazda
feels good to own a mazda now, i bought the mazda 3 hatchback 2020 and after seeing this video im glad its been professionaly made with love and care
Great cars! They keep climbing the reliability charts in several publications!
Japan production is a reason why Mazdas are so reliable!
Notice how the workers don't lift or twist anything. Amazing.
In manufacturing/assembly, it is astronomically difficult to get product out that is near 99% right first time at this sort of speed in any case. My 2019 Mazda3 is 2.5 years old and not one thing is out of place, everything is solid just as it left the factory.
When you consider the number of elements there are to developing a car (R&D, design, engine development, trials, on-the-road testing, software/technology incorporation, component layout, structural design, interior design and fittings, press tools, external suppliers, servicing and wear and tear considerations, and most importantly "can it be made?..." The list goes on,) it's astonishing how easily we take it for granted. I fully respect the people who all played a part in developing the 3 (and any other Mazda) and the operators/technicians that put them together daily with great consistency, as they couldn't have made it any better.
Kudos to those workers; my 2019 Mx5 came through with zero defects. Not one single thing.
Same with my 2019 CX-5: zero defects!
My 1990 MX-5 had zero defects when it was 23 years old and had 250k on the clock. The only things that wrong were due to user stupidity
Same here my 2019 Mazda 3
@@rbrookes same. My mazda 2 venture special edition is December 2012 and has passed every single mot 100%. A smooth as butter.
your seatbelt retracts perfectly? most of them dont
Mazda is very reliable in Australia and shown in the monthly sale figures here.
I’ve had 2 Mazda in the past and love them both because they have souls. Definitely will buy Mazda again.
Thank you very much for production sharing.
I’m so excited. I literally pick my MaZda 5 up in the morning. 11-12/2020 ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Good for you
Happy driving
I love my Mazda-3 zoom-zoom, Attractive design, reliable power-train, great handling characteristics. Only thing I wish Mazda to change is the sheet metals to stronger ones or galvanize the one used to make Mazdas. They rust quickly if not protected or undercoated, Not everybody lives in California sunshine. Thanks for the rare video WN
Giardintek Have you ever tried driving with two adults sitting in the back seat? It’s a beautiful car, but no rear seat leg room.
To rust you have to live near the cost. The salted air is very corrosive. I believe all Mazda's sheetmetal is galvanized. Normally you have a warranty for that.
@@PhlilipeAlves rust is a problem in many snowy US states because they use a kind of salt on roads.
If their not galvanized, what is that swimming pool the dive in? To clean, the base for paint or To galvanize??!!
@@80808O snow is the same for all cars, but Mazda rots much faster than others.
That's why Mazda is an expensive cars...the exterior and interior design is made elegantly. Wishing this someday.
Its just incredible how innovation works! So proud of the intelligence of mankind!
The Mazda vehicles built in Japan are more reliable than Honda.
True! My 2020 Honda Civic was built in Canada, and 6,700 miles later, it is a freaking rattle box and the seats already squeak like an old car with ten times the mileage. I have even been in a 2019 Kia Forte with 12,300 miles and not a single rattle and the seats do not make any sound. A shame since the Honda's I have been around in the past had near perfect fit and finish, even the freaking 8th gens Civics aside from the paint quality of course. Mazda on the other hand seemed to have improved even faster than Hyundai since they have been separate from Ford since 2013.
honda lost it
My Mazda Tribute is from 2006 and still has no problems
@@toothpaste5961 thats a ford escape rebadeged lol
I have a 2010 Mazda 3 made in Japan. The best car I have ever owned.

Now, i am using mazda2. It is very nice though more expensive than the other brands of sedan. Its 1.5 engine is powerful.
But, its front bumper doesnt have enough ground clearance.
Nice video. I own a 2007 Mazda 3 and recently a new addition with a 2017 Mazda CX-9 Got to love the Zoom Zoom.
Exciting to watch as my miata came from this factory 😁
