VW certainly has a lot to prove to the market as far as reliability is concerned. The past Golf/GTI/Jetta had loads of issues. It doesn't predetermine this model will suffer the same fate, but if I were a betting man, my money would be on the Mazda.

JD Powers and others aside, I'll say this.
 
My current car is a 2005 Mazda3 hatchback ... er, wagon ... er, hatchgon? Wagback? I purchased it April 7, 2005. It's now 15 months old and has 24,100 miles on it.
 
Problems? Zero.
Gas mileage? 27 city commuting, 32-35 highway. (5-speed)
Fun-to-drive factor? Grinning, ear to ear!

Let's continue the conversation about the ship in trouble in the Mazda3 discussion. We'll let this discussion stay focused on comparing the 3 to the Rabbit. If there are any dry ones left to compare, that is.

I'm just glad that non of those Mazda3's or CX-7's are mine. I see that they are mostly allocated for the west coast or Vancouver, Canada.
 
I just hope they do not take from my allocation to help them! I can't get enough as it is!

US manufacturers' recalls seem to be more for things like cars catching on fire or gas tanks exploding while Japanese recalls tend to be minor problems.

However, Toyota's latest recall is not so minor. It is for a "faulty engine part" that causes an oil leak...
