We can only hope that Mazda wont let that statistic go to their heads like Honda did. If they do.. they will jack their prices up just like Honda did 15 years ago :S

I've always wondered if price skewed the results. For the most part they are probably fairly accurate, but if you had spent $60K on a car as opposed to some $20K you'd probably complain about much smaller items (and thus more items complained about. EX, if you bought a Corvette and it had something similar to our hla tick, I'd sent it back. If it cropped up on a Honda I'd live with it.
