nice to see, but i never really paid much attention to those reports because it doesn't describe the natuer of the problems.

i.e. a company that makes a car with 300 small faileurs (window switches, little light bulbs etc) per 100 cars VS a company with 10 problems per 100 cars but which are catastrophic engine faileurs, tranny's etc. I know i made a drastic example but just to illustrate my point.

I know mazda should be closer to the top..if it wasnt for the tributes (hurray for american electronics) and Mazda3 Tiptronic tranny's (basically anything sourced/built from Ford damnnit).
