to madza owners,is madza a dependable car?

Yes indeedy they are!!!

My 2015 3-Sport is running real good.

 If Ford quit making them back in 2015 it was because Ford does not want to make long lasting dependable vehicles.

 I worked at a plant that built engines and transmissions for Ford back in the 90s.

 Ford discontinued the 300ci straight six and the big block V-8 they made the 350s and 400s out of because...the reason they gave...was there were too many still on the road, in use, and could be easily rebuilt many times.

 So Mazda must be a reliable car.

I don't know, my Mazda is only thirty years old and still has its original engine. Can't say the same thing for the brakes or clutch.

Just as good. as any. So are Mits and Isuszu.,. They just dont toot their horn as much.

Ford let go of Mazda in 2015. Where have You been,  Duck?

Not as much as toyota or honda

There not bad my dad has a Mazda's tribute which is based off a ford escape and it broke down a few times but they weren't very expensive repairs. Not as reliable as a Toyota tho. 

So good that they are close to Honda and Toyota

my mx5 and mazda 6 before that have been

they have good reputations

They used to be, but that was about 30 years ago, when they weren't a subsidiary of Ford.
