I've been driving a Mazda for as long I can remember, to me they're very reliable and such smooth rides.
The manual transmission thing is so true. My European buddy said exactly what you stated. He said, "If you don't want your car to be stolen in America, just buy a manual, because no one there knows how to drive stick!"
If your car is still getting you where you need to be safe and reliably, no need to upgrade, IMO.
I really like owning a mazda. Im a fan of their transmissions, they shift well and are very robust. My whole family likes toyotas, which also are very reliable. Lately getting stuck in traffic makes my car warm, I will probably have to backflush the radiator and put new coolant in it. Its been more than 5 years since I have done that!
