It's not that big of a deal, once you get it moving at least. Though not nearly as impressive, I've had friends with 3/4 ton diesels, bump start these up hills.

Plus it is available with a very tune-able Ecoboost. So it could be somewhat quick.

Let's not forget that the Toyota makes the power in the rev range you actually use. The GM needs to be nearly redlined to make full power. So, the engine is best suited for a car.

That's because you bought a Mazda. They are the early 2000's VW of the Japanese auto world.

No it isn't over-hyped. A vast majority of people don't like repair bills. That is completely okay. Your friend with the Disco is an outlier or a liar. Even Disco fanboys will tell you they are a nightmarish addiction.

Because those are not trucks. They are car based CUV's. Crossover=/=Truck. By that logic, a lot of AMG engines are truck engines.

It doesn't have a truck engine... Taco is a 2.7, completely different family.

Toyota Reliability>>>>>>>Volvo's post 240 breaking down.

It looks like a Camry. You did the world a favor.

The Canyon/Colorado was issued a stop sale recall in the first couple weeks of availability.

I've seen an Aspen Hybrid! Yay Florida retirees!

Isn't that basically what the HRV is?

There are 2 Kizashi's in my small subdivision. I see these all the time. Florida bought them all.

I have seen one. Only because I know the person who owns it.

I wonder what is rarer, this or the Nitro with the manual?

You already can. They pop up every now and then for sale.

Here is one with a gated manual and all for under 80k: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/…

3rd gen's are by far and large the most reliable.

Uh. I'm going to assume that was a troll comment.
