On the Best Manufactureres....

Mazda rates 4th...same as 2005..
http://www.topgear.com/content/carsu...ures/08/2.html

1 Skoda (UP)
Once-humble Skoda pushes the Japanese from the top slot

2 Lexus (DOWN)
Masters of build quality forced to a still-good second place

3 Honda (-)
Top two places in the car list helped secure a third place overall

4 Mazda (-)
Fourth place for the second year running

5 Mini (UP)
Mini's strong following means it's up two places at five

6 Subaru (-)
Another non-mover - would have scored higher but for high ownership costs

7 Toyota (DOWN)
Down two places for Toyota against last year's survey

8 Porsche (-)
Consistent performer, but reliability score lower than you'd expect

9 Jaguar (-)
Strong performance from the XJ helped Jag hold on to ninth

10 Hyundai (UP)

Mazda did pretty good, with the miata, RX8 and mazda3 doing really well. I'm not surprised that mercedes is at the bottom or damn near it in just about every catagory...
