Replying to: kaalima (Jun 12, 2006 12:11 pm) I don't know about you, but shelling out $30K on a vehicle is somewhat of a big issue with me.....when I want to buy....I compare.....it has nothing to do with cost! If you read some of the other posts it seems I am not the only one that has issues with it. My co-worker drives a mazda3 5 door and he loves it, but, he says his A/C stinks! I have been in his car allot, great car, lousy A/C. So think what you will.....that's your right.....and I was just throwing my .02 anyway.....by the way, do you wonder why Mazda has lowered it's warranty period? Hmmmmmmm.... |

Replying to: zoom49 (Jun 13, 2006 4:52 am) From a consumer's point of view....does that make sense? Ask a sales rep why Mazda is doing this.....the answer they gave me made no sense.

Replying to: zoom49 (Jun 13, 2006 8:54 pm) But why would a company reduce it's other portion of it's warranty program? What signal are they sending to the consumers? We use to warranty for 4/50 but now maybe our product is costing to much in warranty work so we will reduce it to 3/36? 5/60 powertrain is pretty much industry standard as compared to the likes of let's say Honda and Toyota....Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Mazda are bad cars by no means....in fact I use to think that if Mazda was running neck and neck with Honda and Toyota their warranty would put them ahead.....not anymore. In my opinion they just took a step back. Ask any Mazda salesman why Mazda is doing this and see what they say? Then come back to this forum and let us know, I am real curious to see what they tell you. The answer I got from the salesman I talked to was "there is no reason for it that he can thing of".

Replying to: mldj98 (Jun 14, 2006 2:29 am) by the same ammount. This will certainly cost them dollars. I'm assuming they increased their warranty to match the longer warranty offered by other car makers.

Replying to: mldj98 (Jun 13, 2006 4:28 am) Mazda stated they lowered their bumper to bumper warranty because they felt that their longer warranty did not entice buyers to purchase a Mazda over Honda, Toyota, Nissan, so, they made it equal to theirs. It is not worth the added cost of a longer warranty if they are not picking up addtional customers because of it.
