Interesting story here.
And a cautionary tale about stepping too far up in your pricing.

Cheers for sharing that Trevor. I think the polarising C pillar design on the new 3 hatch may have put a few off as well, although I've got used to it now.

You wouldn't think 3 recalls in the first couple of months would have helped either.

I don't think the introduction of the Skyactive x engine in the new year will do much in the way of additional sales either as it will be an added cost option apparently.  :undecided:

This won't help mazda sales. Two more recalls including the Mazda 2. Don't know what is going on. They are generally pretty tight on QC!
