The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that since it started testing seat belt reminders in 2022, automakers have responded with improved ratings for model-year 2023-25 vehicles.

Mazda and Fiat parent company Stellantis are recalling some of their model-year 2016-23 MX-5 Miata and model-year 2017-20 124 Spider coupes, respectively, due to airbag deployment issues affecting approximately 93,500 vehicles.

Consumer Reports, which has been ranking new-car reliability for years, has released its first-ever ranking of used cars that are 5 to 10 years old.

The 2024 U.S. Tech Experience Index Study suggests buyers of new vehicles are “becoming overwhelmed with technology features that don’t solve a problem, don’t work, are difficult to use or are just too limited in functionality.”

Ford and Mazda are the latest automakers to issue a “do not drive” advisory over exploding Takata airbag inflators.

For 2025, Mazda is shuffling the CX-90 lineup, adding new Premium Sport trim levels with two of the available powertrains.

For 2024, Porsche takes the top spot for premium brands as well as the overall crown, with Mini taking the honors among mass-market brands.
