Nobody in the general public is really interested in which car is more problem free past 200k, they just need to justify their next lease. |

True for their sedans, but Buick's sales are like 80% SUVs/CUVs...which are almost identical (platform and powertrain) to Chevys and GMCs.

The Envision does share a platform with the current terrain and equinox, but they're based on the much older 2006 Captiva, coengineerd by Daewoo and Holden. The Enclave is truly on a Chevy/GMC/Cadillac version of the epsilon platform. |

So was it an ND or an NC?
Quote:
All cars experience mechanical failures, recalls etc. ND engines do not seem to be any worse than the FA20 in general, if there was a weak point it was the 6 speed manual gearbox. Quote:

Of course the twins have more luggage space, but I dont need much TBH. The RF will be fine for what I need (commuting, quick grocery runs, weekend fangs in the twisties). If I need more space, Ill borrow my partners hatchback. Bear in mind, Ive gone periods where I didnt even own a car, just a motorbike, and the MX-5 is a luxury of storage and space compared to a Ninja. I dont rate sportscars on luggage capacity. Does it make sense to argue a hatchback or SUV is a better sportscar then a twin because the twin has less luggage space? No? So its equally irrelevant that the twin has a bit more than the MX-5.

So yeah, you and I are looking for different things, have different priorities in a sportscar. Is it so hard to understand that the car you subjectively feel is perfect for you, is not necessarily perfect for everyone else? Quote:

Ive been driving a 2017 Miata RF since Nov. 2018. Ive fallen more in love over time, but for the first 6 months I was missing the space of the 86. Its a little hard to say right now what I would prefer because my old 86 had an HKS supercharger and few minor mods beyond that. It certainly had more room and I really loved that car. I had it about 5 years (only first owner) and spent a lot of time messing around on it so I was a bit connected to it. I sold it and bought a used Focus ST and then got rid of that after about 8 months. (FWD sucks) I got the Miata for a great price and it was still on the showroom floor (first owner again). Sometimes I miss the 86 but then remember that it would probably end up having that recall and the aftermath of that scares me. Performance between the two (without the supercharger on the 86) I would put the Miata on top, hands down. It lacks space (obviously) but its much more uncomfortable for the passenger since theres a hump in the floor for the transmission. Add the Bose system and now they have a subwoofer under their feet. Long trip? Forget about laying the seat back to nap (passenger obviously). But road and track? Miata for sure. Its constantly the winner on comparison videos too. All that being said, if this GR86 ever comes out Ill probably be getting that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...es/2578463001/ I really like the ND, it's just not as practical as the 86. I love Mazda as a company though so our second car is a cx9 signature. Sister also owns a cx9 sig, mom owns a cx5 gt, dad in law has a Mazda 6 gt with the turbo 2.5. All have been very reliable with the only issues being dumb infotainment type issues. Also, as stated the reliability ratings of consumer reports are heavily affected by minor nuances like infotainment and things like that. It depends on people reporting issues. I would wager that Toyota 86 and BRZ owners are more likely to not give a shit about minor quirks and noises, thus boosting reliability rating.

The 86 and BRZ model cars that made the reliabilty list should be unmodified examples. That removes a large portion of cars from the data, no? That plus fewer on the road would explain why they marked high.
