Mazda Named 'Best Overall Brand' by Kelley Blue Book

Feb. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Auto shopping and pricing site KBB.com released its annual list of 2013 model cars and trucks that it forecasts will be the cheapest for you to own over the first five years.

The winners are picked based on KBB data that includes initial cost, depreciation, expected fuel costs, financing and insurance, maintenance and repairs and state fees for new vehicles. Mazda won the ‘Best Overall Brand - 5-Year Cost to Own Award.’

"It turns out the Mazda lineup isn’t just sporty, it’s smart. Cars like the legendary MX-5 Miata, hot-selling new CX-5 crossover and all-new 2014 Mazda6 mid-size sedan carry on the brand’s fun-to-drive spirit, while also offering an under-appreciated dose of fiscal practicality."

The 2013 Mazda5 won in the small minivan category and was recognized for being fuel-efficient and budget friendly.

"If you need seating for six and don't want to spend a fortune, the Mazda5 is a smart – if not obvious – choice. That the Mazda5 is fun to drive and costs thousands less than minivans such as the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna are further incentives."
