Dave L - You are being pretty ridiculous. Sorry to say. Barrie has absolutely terrible weather, terrible roads, heavily salted roads, long winters and further to that Mazda does a great job of bolting together their cars.

I have seen 5year old Cadillac STS in Barrie rusting, and figure a STS is 4times the cost of your Mazda.

I drive a 20year old Mazda with 320,000km on it (still original alternator, starter, engine and tranny) and it feels as tight as any new car. I have changed suspension bushings and the regular maintenance items but the interior and exterior trim are perfect - not even a dash crack.

If you want disposable cars think any GM J-Body or Chrysler Neon

Sadly Ontario's winter's have no mercy...when was the last time you saw say a Datsun Z from the 1970s in Barrie?
