Why aren t Mazda cars as popular as the Toyota or Honda cars

2017 Toyota Corolla vs Honda Civic 2017



Disclaimer Many statements in this article are based on my personal experience and ideas and can therefore be questionable Any feedback is welcomed.
As a former owner Mazda 2004 Mazda 3 hatchback 2 3L, I think it is because the main focus of Mazda is slightly different from that of other popular manufacturers like Toyota and Honda.
Mazda is known for building cars fun to drive Mazdaspeed 3 If you think, for example, it comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder 3L 2 online cylindar that produces 263 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque While is too much fun to drive, it comes with some drawbacks Not too bad for people like me who rather like these drawbacks, but bad enough for most people it suffers from severe steering torque despite all their efforts to reduce the equal trees before length, limited slip differential torque-limited in the first three reports, etc., it has notable turbo lag, and it has a low fuel consumption Oh and Mazdaspeed 3 is manual models 6 speed Not to mention only his ridiculous appearance.
Mazdaspeed 3 is probably an extreme example to represent the generality of Mazda, but I hope you have the same idea regular Mazda 3 has a heavier steering and stiffer suspension than its counterparts in other companies such as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
Take Mazda RX-8 as another example, it has a small 1 3L rotary engine, but it produces more than 230 horsepower, but its gas mileage is considerably lower city 16 mpg Highway 22 mpg for any reason, and most people cared absolutely not if their car is powered by a rotary engine or an ordinary piston engine 4-cycle.



On the other hand, Toyota and Honda produce cars like Camry and Accord These are cars that my mother was going to drive to go to a grocery store, they offer a comfortable and reliable driving They offer a moderate power - not too little, not too - with excellent fuel consumption they are easy to maintain they are easy to drive you do not need to be a car enthusiast to enjoy what they offer.
Many Mazda cars share most of these properties, but their development is still leaning slightly to build fun cars to drive in my view, all these sports and unique properties that can be disadvantages for ordinary consumers add up prevent them from becoming mainstream brand.

Mazda cars are more reliable than the Toyota cars.



Why is such a small Mazda car manufacturer compared to Toyota and Honda.
What are the best cars to buy in the US Honda, Hyundai and Toyota.
Japanese cars are more reliable in general, or is it that Honda and Toyota.
Buy a Mazda are, without Subaru BRZ Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissan and as reliable as Honda and Toyota.



Honda, Nissan and Toyota are good brands, but would you buy and why.
Honda and Toyota have concentrated their resources on the consumer market in general, the latter being the runner before the general market is mainly composed of medium mothers of the middle class and dads no interest to specialized cars, for example a truck towing, sports car thrills and all interest in the budget and value.
However, its safe to say that the general trend is that less emphasis on product performance and image, the more successful business in market domination.
While they were really improve their 3 and 6 series, Mazda has always put more emphasis on performance while the other two Honda and Toyota They have invested a lot in their MX and RX series and continue to do so with Even their former standard sedans get a rap sportier than the average among their authors.


Of course, they do so at the expense of all the technological packages included and interior quality.
What three businesses produced the best car is a subjective matter left to the consumer.

I think most of the answers were nailing - Mazda to build cars mainly for amateurs, and unfortunately that doesn t represent the majority of the overall car buying market Until recent years with the onslaught Cx-3 crossing cx-4, CX-5, CX-9, the range of Mazda also didn t have the kind of people wanted cars - trucks, minivans, sport utility vehicles, you name it.
Moreover, in the past, I guess, before 90ss, Mazda cars weren t as reliable as Toyota or homologous Honda so the least reliable reputation exploited for people who underestimated their Mazdas more for something This new depreciation also affected, as people have found that their Mazdas weren t worth much compared.
I would also say, the Mazda dealer network isn t as robust or widespread as other automakers, which doesn t help the cause Having visited dealerships around me, it is also clear that they do not have standards support marketing or other service.



I ask the crowd, in addition to the original question, how do you improve Mazda brand strategy, marketing, sales, range so that they can obtain more market share, I feel for a product point of view, in terms of style, technology, packaging, branding, they are doing everything right, but that does not translate to sales in March was brutal for the brand, with a year 27 down on the year, compared with an overall gain of the market.
