Ford's aftersales are a question mark. Likewise for Mazda. I would rank both to be on the "iffy" side
You're right on the individual needs.
Based on how things are going, Mazda will have the numbers compared to before and will justify more investment in SCs, technician training etc. Or so we hope.
I'll bet on Mazda doing better than Ford anytime.

I've met too many owners of reconds (unregistered when purchased) who spend a few K of RM to repair their rides within the first 6 months. Pride aside - I'd prefer something brand new.

in fact before putting down the booking, ive done a lot of online searches for FC.....
apparently, the FC is almost the same among the 2.3 and 2.4L vehicles.... including ACR50, RB3, elysion, alphard, Sharan, etc....ie. the majority will perform around 8-9 km/L.. (maybe with the exception of Smax, 8.1L/100km - but wife disliked the interior) ... maybe bcoz of the curb weight/engine kot??
...what i meant was ive got used to the FC of my current Wish, which is good (~12km/L), so the anticipation is more, hehe....
...but NATURALLY youve got to make some sacrifices to get the spaces/coziness, and to join the crowd... hehe
FC is generally better for turbocharged engines due to the power to weight ratio but I'll consider maintenance costs over the long term too.

This sound is from the exhaust connector which happened to be lose. I have changed it during the CNY. Get it changed during the warranty period.
I have get it done by Mazda PJ (next to Federal Highway), look for Idzwan, the SA. He should know what to do, coz he mention that few M8 has this same problem & have get it replaced.
