ford exterior is cleaner. ford interior is nicer. now, it could be show car interior on Ford vs production on Mazda but if it carries over somewhat, I'll take a fiesta.

The interior finish, warranty covereage, and pricing is usually better too.

I still remember years ago, when you could pickup a Tribute from mazda and had a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty as standard, and you'd go to the Ford boys next door and pay more for the Escape clone, and get a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. Also Mazda would include free loaner/rental car coverage with warranty work that even was a one day fix, and just involved keeping a free rental/loaner and returning it at the end of the day when your car was ready at the dealership.

Mazda's bang for the buck has always exceeded Ford's.

Even the Ford Probes and same platform MX-6's came off the same line in Michigan, but the beautiful Italianesque styling of the 2nd generation MX-6 was incredible compared to the Probe.

Of course Ford sold more Probes........Thats a given. Buyer loyalty, minus common sense in many cases. It's a Mazda and it isn't American, while the Probe was in reality a re-skinned MX-6 with Mazda engine/running gear as well.

Just look ]]>Mar 4th 2008 9:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-mazda2-loses-a-couple-of-doors-gets-even-cooler/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-mazda2-loses-a-couple-of-doors-gets-even-cooler/
