Is Mazda creeping up to Honda and Toyota quality wise?

I would argue that Mazda has been equal to or at least very close to either Honda or Toyota for a long time already. In my opinion, the Japanese brands that are lagging behind are Mitsubishi and Suzuki ( Suzuki makes very good motorcycles, I've owned two, but I'm not as convinced their cars are on par with their domestic competitors ). NIssan is somewhere in the middle… They make decent vehicles for the most part but not quite up to the high bar set by Honda and Toyota.

  • Why Suzuki is not as popular as Toyota, Honda.Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru? I hardly see any Suzuki vehicles on the road, and wonder why if t is also Japanese. it appears that both Mitsubishi and Suzuki lag behind its Japanese counterparts. I feel Suzuki are very good cars, but most people fail to see that and they don't notice it.

  • Mazda reliability? Particularly 2013 mazda 3? I'm in the market for a new car and I was looking between 2013 Toyota corolla which is just boring and doesn't have as much features compared to Honda, or mazda. The Mazda 3 is at a good price 1000 dollars cheaper then the Toyota. So my question is, is Mazda reliable for that generation, or should I stick with a very well known reliable car maker?
  • How reliable is Chevrolet Malibu compared to Honda, Toyota and MAzda? My mother is looking to buy a new car and it seems 2015 Chevy Malibu is the cheapest mid-size sedan available. The price at the local dealer is $17,500 compared to $23,000 Mazda 6. My Mazda protege has almost 200k miles and has never ever given me any trouble. However my 2009 Subaru Outback with 60k has been nothing trouble. So I was wondering how reliable are those Malibus? Do they need expensive repairs done often?
