Thanks guys I appreciate the input a lot of the same things being said here which is awesome.

Any specifics on what years and what not? Bobby mentioned early to mid 2000s Mazda 3s were rust buckets.

The 2011 year was the first model year they introduced the Sky Active engines. As for when the Ford/Mazda thing ended and they stopped being rusty POS's. not sure.

CRV is a great vehicle. But bang for your buck because they hold their value, you're probably over 100k miles.
