A extremely large majority of toyotas to not have this problem. A few here and there doesn't mean the brand is going in the toilet.

A water pump failure is hardly a huge expense and gives plenty of warning when it does take a dump.

I wouldn't buy any Mazda because it's basically kissing cousins to many Ford models. They just have goofy repair procedures, discontinue parts quickly after models end and are generally more expensive to repair. For instance, they have a repair bulletin for adjusting front camber that involves loosening the engine cradle, grinding on mounting points of various suspension components with a die grinder and then tightening back up. If its still out, loosen, grind, tighten and the try again.. Yeah, no thanks.
