I have already told my Toyota salesman about the water pump issue and how that might make me choose something other than a Toyota come replacement time.


Anyone have any Mazda or Mazda 2 issues I should know about before throwing Toyota under the bus?
I really, really like the Mazda 2. I just wouldn't be willing to put up with its inferior (in current form) fuel economy.

I remember reading an Edmunds.com review that criticized the MPG and I thought I remembered that for a combined tank people (in posted user reviews on various sites) were pretty much hitting the midpoint between EPA City (28 auto) and EPA Highway (34 auto) or about 1 mpg higher so 31-32 combined. I looked today on Edmunds, MSN, Yahoo, etc. and didn't find what I remembered..it was a bit better. The best combined city/hwy I found with reference to the transmission being an automatic was 36.2 MPG combined. The highest hard numbers overall I found were one person got 42 MPG combined on a tank and another person got 50 MPG for a 65 mile portion of a tank....so.....better than I remembered, but not what we see on Yarisworld..... and I did see the Edmunds.com review that criticized the MPG today as well. I remember seeing reviews on other sites but can't think of any off the top of my head.
