Di naman garbage ang Mazdas. A lot of the boxy Familias are still running as taxis, while the later Familias are decent cars (aside from the fuel consumption thing), and, in MT, are about as good as Lancers or Sentras of that era, sans a fender rust issue, or two (common on early 90's cars due to the shape of the rear fender).

The problem with Mazda in the 90's was that dealership and parts support were very poor, thus making maintenance a nightmare. It isn't that way, anymore. You can buy Mazda parts from many places in Banaue, and Kia Pasay, under Columbia, provides casa-level support for Mazda owners.
