Kelley Blue Book Names Mazda Lowest 5-Year Cost to Own Brand

TINLEY PARK, Ill. - April 14, 2014 - PRLog -- It gives Community Mazda (http://www.communitymazda.com/) great pride to announce that the Mazda brand has yet again earned one of the most impressive accolades from the auto value experts at Kelley Blue Book: Lowest 5-Year Cost to Own. That's for the whole brand, not simply for one vehicle.

Kelley Blue Book is known the world over for its expert analysis of cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, and all things automotive, and while they have many different categories in which to rank each vehicle, the 5-Year Cost to Own is perhaps one of the most important, as it projects just how much money a driver might have to sink into a new vehicle.

While these are clearly only estimates, KBB.com looks at the history of the brand and their vehicles as well as updates, factoring in elements like upgrades to the powertrain, features, and overall design to determine a vehicle's 5-Year Cost to Own.

Drivers familiar with the Mazda brand may not be too surprised by the news. This is the second year in a row that they have won the award, and those who have had the pleasure of owning a Mazda likely have little trouble backing up these findings.

Mazda may be known for their famous Mazda3, but they have a wide range of vehicles that include the affordable 2014 Mazda2 (http://www.communitymazda.com/2014-mazda2), family-friendly CX-5, or the stunning Mazda MX-5 Miata sports car. Put simply, they make vehicles for all manner of drivers, and with these low cost to own rates, that means that a used Mazda is also a great deal.
