Given its own by Berjaya, in a few years a new hand will be running the Mazda business. anyway, i do hope BerMaz can do something to revive the brand. Not just the higher range but those more affordable like Mazda2. i don’t expect BerMaz to last long. Given its own by Berjaya, in a few years a new hand will be running the Mazda business.

Admittedly Mazda have some very nice cars elsewhere but they are not doing well in Malaysia maybe due to branding and pricing issues. As for spare parts i think Mazda and Ford would have many common parts, however availability and pricing is a source of concern for owners and would be owners.
