It probably proves the fleet sales is propping up most of the other makes.

Yes they do, they just don't do them in high numbers like Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Kia do.
Just ask SA Netball and the SANFL just to name a few. Not high numbers, but their change over rate it high. Mazda don't do rental sales in SA, but they have their fingers in other pies.
Their private buyers rate is high, more than Hyundai, Kia and Mitsubishi, but the majority of their buyers 'were' base spec model buyers. Start to exclude those buyers and force them to start paying more for their entry level models and they start to look elsewhere - see Hyundai and Kia. Kia will be a Top 4 selling brand in no time. When times are tough, but people still want to buy a new car at a price they want to pay, then steps in brands like Kia. Also put in brands like MG, yep a crazy statement, but MG is a brand to lookout for. They won't challenge the top 10 anytime soon, but given the right backing and product from the
distributor and you'll have the next Kia on your hands.
