The top-selling vehicle here is the Mercedes-Benz GLC which is now available in wagon and coupe styles and as a stonking AMG 43, followed by the Land Rover Discovery Sport, the Porsche Macan, BMW X3, and Audi Q5. The Volvo XC60 is also a popular vehicle. There are also a pair of very good Lexus models in the category, the NX200T and the NX300h hybrid, and a recent entry is the Jaguar F-Pace - which we at Stuff judged to be the year's top luxury SUV. This is Jaguar's first SUV, and the good news is that it retains all the sporting nature of its more conventional sedan models. Japanese premium brand Infiniti has entered this market segment with a sports coupe called QX70, which is available with GT, Premium and Design levels of specification, all the vehicles powered by the same 175kW V6 turbo diesel. A big arrival mid-year will be a brand-new Land Rover Discovery - its local launch has been timed to coincide with the Lions rugby tour of New Zealand.

Very odd to see it on my CX-9, but I don't think it wouldn't make sense for Mazda to use the "conventional" orientation on the CX series, and use the "correct" orientation on the compact and midsize sedans. Glad you're enjoying it. What version of the 6 do you have? 2018 Grand Touring Reserve. They added the Reserve package between GT and Signature in '18. I have the parchment interior, blue exterior. The white really looks upscale inside vs the usual sea of black. Most Mazda products, except for the CX-9, have generally been reliable. Older CX-9s had some troubles. Are you talking about the 1st Gen Ford CX-9? The current one is above average in reliability. Mine hasn't had a single issue in first 2 years. I liked your opening paragraph about your history especially in the 80's. It reminded me of going to my local dealer at the time to inquire about a Civic. I was told by a rude salesman we can sell every one we get over msrp so I can put you on a waiting list if you want, I just walked away and have never bought a Honda. It occurs to me over the years I have never considered a Mazda, too many other options where I lived I guess. I am impressed by their post Ford offerings though. And YES I love the Velour seats! In July I was new car shopping and looked at the Mazda 6 in Signature trim and it was very nice. It's really a shame they don't sell better but there are a lot of factors working against it. Small dealer network, declining sedan sales (1,100 sold last month -47%) intense competition from Accord, Camry, Altima etc. I like Mazda's attempt to take their models a bit more upscale.

NZ's Most Popular SUVs And What's Behind Their Success

Take New Zealand's most popular SUV, the Toyota RAV4, as a prime example. Last year 3612 of them were registered as new vehicles, which placed the model second only to the Toyota Corolla as the biggest-selling passenger vehicle in the country. But of that total, 1593 of the RAV4 sales were to rental companies. Of course a vehicle sale is a vehicle sale, whether it is to a rental company or a family. But the rental business, which is at an all-time high right now as tourism experiences boom times, does skew the registration figures. Last year the top-selling medium-sized SUVs were, in order, the RAV4, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, and Holden Captiva. But if the rental business was factored out of the sales equation, the order of popularity would be Sportage, CX-5, Hyundai Santa Fe, and the RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander dead-heated in fourth place. The RAV4 deserves to be at the top of the tree.

New colorways compliment the revised upholstery design with Ebony, Tan and Ivory and there are matching door casings in Ebony PVC with Ivory stitching and Ebony PVC with Tan contrast stitching.

During delivery, the rim was not fixed and the touch ups on the bumpers were not 100% satisfactory. I鈥檓 willing to give a pass on the attempts to fix the bumpers (it is a used car after all). However, the fact that the rim was not fixed was a bit disappointing. Robby did rectify the matter by having the rim looked at and fixed right away. I would have expected all these to be done, inspected and ready by the scheduled time I arrived at the dealership. 2. Prior to the delivery date, I received an email from their 鈥淓ncore Specialist鈥?with a reminder of things I needed to do (e.g. confirm insurance, balance amount for money order, etc.). This is great and I appreciated the reminder! However, the amount appearing in the email did not match the balance on the paper I signed when agreeing to the deal. I give it a pass assuming it was a typo. After all, no reputable business would change purchase amount without discussing with the customer first. 3. I noticed a lack of communication/coordination between the various personnel at the dealership. For example, the inspection write-up from Lexus dealership was sitting with some rep who was off on the day of my scheduled delivery. So this had to be emailed to me after. What if I noticed something on the inspection write-up that was a deal breaker? None the less, I agreed to receive via email after and thankfully found nothing major that I consider a deal breaker. Another example was lack of communication around the transfer of vehicle/plates between my wife and I. 4. The detailing of the vehicle was not to our satisfaction. My wife ran her fingers over the dashboard and came out with black dusty hands. I don't want to make it sound like a horrible job. It wasn't. My wife and I are very picky on these things and expect high standards from luxury brands.

It can be used the same way. That page may look a little different now, however. Previously there were also menus in which you could find, for instance, the U.S. Auto Sales By Brand post from February 2010 and the Canada Commercial Van category. Those menus still exist on GoodCarBadCar, but they've moved to The Tally page. The Sales Stats menu allows you to see how one vehicle has fared over the course of the last decade or so. The Tally page is where you'll find posts which compare vehicles in their respective categories, and in the case of the All Vehicle Rankings, with every other vehicle on sale. As before, the Best Sellers page offers links to every best seller post on GoodCarBadCar and provides links through myriad dropdown menus to brand rankings posts and worst sellers rankings. These are small changes, but changes we hope will make it easier for you to find the information you require. For Internet Explorer users who had been having trouble utilizing the Sales Stats dropdown menus, we apologize.
