I believe they own over 30%, but big enough to be controlling interesting. In the US, Mazda basically gets left over ford parts. (Cx9 and 3). The newer stuff are mainly in house that Mazda developed and what they use exclusively. Matter of fact, Mazda signed an agreement to source toyotas HSD rather than fords Eco drive

where do you live though? here in socal, prius owners average 35-38mpg, same with camry hybrid owners(asked a few owners myself and i remember reading a news article about it a few years back) because of all the hills san diego has

dont get me wrong, those hybrids are amazing for city driving but depending on where you live and work here, you can be doing more highway driving then city driving(which is why i go off average mpg instead of paper or just city/highway drivers)

Civic Si... I liked them up until the latest refresh.

agreed, the CRZ was a failure to be what honda wanted it to be, it doesnt compare to the CRX at all
the civic si however, i feel those are always going to be the riceboys first choice when buying cars, heck honda saved them some $$$ by slapping vtec stickers all over the thing, if the SI was clean like the regular civic, i wouldnt hate it as much(i just hate the civic in general) but honda just had to slap iVTEC stickers on it

I like the Civic for what it is. I had an '06 sedan as a practical car. I wouldn't mind having an si sedan in that body style... but only without all the boy racer graphics and body treatments.

Your friends with the Priuses should get them checked out... My best friend who has a prius BEATS that car and drives faster than I do around town and he averages 40-45MPG, when he slows down to take his mom to and from the hospital usually he gets right around 50... That SOB...

On the freeway he gets about 42-45

(Just asked for his numbers, and he has a 2007 with 132k miles)
