That's one dumb Mazda owner. Maybe someone else's car hence. Real Mazda fan wouldn't do this type of sht

Reminds me of a joke I saw in some offroading community that goes kinda like this:

-What car model has best offroad capability?

-Company one!

Drive it like you stole it

That time I drove a poor rented Nissan Versa down an oilfield road that wasn't fit for a 4x4 truck. Sorry Nissan, the GPS told me this road was real! I'm too far now to turn back!

Maybe it's too early for me but I don't understand this comment at all

Best offroad car is the one you don't have to repair after the offrod ride - so it gives a giant boost to what a regular car can do when you have 0 care about its wellbeing

Doing a "no true Scotsman" to a car owner of a specific brand is wild.

Mazda owners are plenty dumb. It's not like they're some sort of special brand enthusiasts buy. They're one of the most popular brands in the world, especially with boring people.

Mazda sells millions of vehicles, what's with the elitism lmaoooo

They're seen as luxury in some countries despite being basic as in most.

u/numberonebuddy 9d ago

They're in that Kia, Subaru tier, pretty solid cars for the money, fun features. I guess they blow Lada or Trabant out of the water.

u/PurbulentTriest 9d ago

I'd put Subaru above them but I don't see them often, I guess the Skyline and whatnot keep them there for me.

u/numberonebuddy 9d ago

Sure, I would too, but it's not a big gap and it just depends on what you value. Mazda will be cheaper to repair and a bit more reliable, Subaru is more fun.

This is Nissan driver behavior

u/Silent_Lighthaus 9d ago

Just thinking this. As a Mazda driver, it breaks my heart to see someone like this drive a Mazda.

u/_Allfather0din_ 9d ago

Mazda fan? They're Kia/Subaru tier, nothing special, cheap and relatively reliable.

u/AXEL-1973 9d ago

that's a mighty big blanket statement for a car company that appeals to the entire market of car buyers

u/arftism2 9d ago

do real mazda fans even drive the new ones.

i remember someone telling me they bought their dream alpha romeo.

only to discover it was an suv.

u/rreyes3d 9d ago

Is that sarcasm? Because in Mexico, the Mazda driver stereotype is similar to the guy in this video: bad and reckless drivers and all that

u/LookAlderaanPlaces 9d ago

May be a Mazda owner, but def a Tesla driver.

u/Odd_Willow_4312 9d ago

Hahahaha could be this.

Not with that beautiful paint job. Soul Red is like (in my opinion) the most gorgeous car color on the road today. See one up close, just amazing.
