  • MAZDA MX-5 MIATA | RF We Do Not Simply Exist to Make Cars
    MAZDA MX-5 MIATA | RF We do not simply exist to make cars. We strive to achieve something more. To inspire you every day through exhilarating experiences that help you feel more focused, more connected. And more alive. This is what drives us to push boundaries and defy convention every day. It’s why we refined the rotary engine in 1967, resurrected the roadster in 1989 and reimagined how an automobile is developed, piece by piece, in 2006. Instead of simply redesigning a car, we started from a blank sheet of paper and built the ideal vehicle around how it would make you feel. Today, we stand more focused than ever. Creating breathtaking designs and revolutionary technologies like Skyactiv® Technology and i-Activ AWD.® Built to forge an even deeper connection between you and your Mazda. An emotional bond, formed at first glance and reinforced every time you get behind the wheel. To us, this bond is everything. And it inspires us to design better, innovate more and make each Mazda smarter and safer than what came before. All to make everything about driving even better. Including you. CHALLENGER SPIRIT Since 1920, Hiroshima, Japan, has been our source of intense courage, commitment and perseverance. We have consistently found inspiration through this community— a shared spirit that pushes us to rise above any challenge. Together, we have achieved more than anyone could have imagined. We have built a global company from the ground up. We have developed innovations that others deemed impossible—from the rotary engine to Skyactiv® Technology and beyond.

If segment sales continue to rise, a second, expansion phase arrives; variations on a theme. The new CX-30 is a good example. Mazda is already represented in this space by the CX-3. The company now rolls out a model that splits the difference between that existing subcompact crossover, and its compact crossover cousin (CX-5). Logically, you would think that such an offering would be called the CX-4. I’ve read that Mazda elected not to do so because a CX-4 model already exists – in China. As an observer of the car scene for decades, I’d say that, by and large, nobody cares what cars are called in other markets. So, while CX-4 would’ve made sense here, CX-30 it is.

  • 2017 Mazda Cx-5 Does Driving Matter?
    2017 MAZDA CX-5 DOES DRIVING MATTER? Does a long, winding road or an empty freeway on Sunday morning matter if the car you’re in doesn’t take advantage of the moment? Does safety, technology, efficiency or even beauty matter, if a car doesn’t feel right in your hands? If you build Mazdas, driving is what matters most. That’s why everything we do makes driving better. Like safety technology that inspires confidence. Engine technology that makes our cars and SUVs more fuel-efficient. Yet still responsive. And designs that capture motion, even when the car isn’t moving. What’s better than a great driving car? A car company that won’t build anything less. MAZDA. DRIVING MATTERS® CRAFTED TO INSPIRE. ENGINEERED TO BE DRIVEN. It began with an unrelenting passion for driving. Only then could we start to craft the new 2017 Mazda CX-5. With an unwavering belief that there is no “good enough.” That a vehicle should be an extension of you, the driver. And, that while the CX-5 remains one of the critics’ favorites, we’re never satisfied with accepting the status quo. We will always keep looking for ways to improve upon what’s been accomplished. This ethos is translated into every vehicle we make. The newly restyled and refined 2017 Mazda CX-5 is unlike any other CUV. Without sacrificing exceptional driving dynamics, the carefully crafted and refreshed CX-5 achieves the impossible: the perfect unity of versatility, spaciousness, innovation and up to an EPA-estimated 31 highway MPG.1 There have been over 250 improvements made to the new Mazda CX-5 — inside and out.

  • Mazda MX-5 Miata Sport Models with 2.0L Engine and Manual Transmission 22 City/28 Highway MPG
    “Jinba ittai, or ‘rider and horse as one,’ was our guiding principle during the MX-5’s development. The result is a car so nimble, well-balanced and fun to drive that the driver and car achieve true unity.” Takao Kijima: Program Manager, Mazda MX-5 Miata (1995–2007) ANCIENT TRADITION. For 15th century Japanese horse archers, complete freedom with the bow and arrow came only with an unwavering bond with the horse galloping beneath them. With this trust in place, along with carefully acquired skills with the bow and arrow, archers caught food to feed their families and fought wars to protect them. Today, this concept of jinba ittai, or “rider and horse as one,” is the inspiration for the MX-5 Miata—a car so precisely tuned with its driver, it’s undeniably enjoyable to drive. MODERN APPLICATIONS. 2 “When I drive my MX-5 to work, my commute is like a 30-minute vacation.” — G. Gehris, Mazda MX-5 Miata customer 3 IT TAKES OBSESSION TO FIND BALANCE. Courageous engineering. This is the Mazda Way. It’s how we created the Mazda MX-5 Miata, a car that’s near perfectly balanced. And a car that seems to anticipate a driver’s every move. This could only be achieved through the conviction, creativity and courage of quality-obsessed engineers. Engineers that take into account every bolt, every wire and every stitch in the upholstery to achieve near-perfect 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution. The MX-5 is also precisely engineered to account for one more variable—you, the driver.

  • 2011 Mazda2 Gx
    2011 MAZDA2 GX Launched in Europe, Australia and Japan in 2007, the Mazda2 reaches our shores this year. A subcompact four-door hatchback, the Mazda2 is offered in GX and GS trim levels. A 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine powers the front wheels via either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Mazda also devised a special edition called Yozora (“night sky” in Japanese), i.e. a GX equipped with air conditioning and a convenience package. It is recognizable thanks to its brilliant black exterior finish, “2” themed decal package, short antenna, rear spoiler, chromed tailpipe and 16-inch 195/45R16 performance tires. Mazda also throws in 185/55R15 winter tires mounted on steel wheels. One of the engineers’ objectives with this generation of the Mazda2 was to reduce the weight of the car. And they did: the new generation is 10% lighter than its predecessor. The biggest reduction (around 22.6 kg) was achieved through maximum use of high-tensile steel, which also enhances vehicle rigidity and safety. Modifications to the suspension brought about another 12.7-kg weight decrease. Even the door speakers are 50% lighter. Several other components such as the intake manifold, gear shifter and linkage, wiring harness, etc., were also slimmed down to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle. Interior and trunk Relatively easy to access, the front seats are comfortable despite the absence of lumbar adjustment, and a cushion that is a bit short for tall people. Curiously, the passenger seat in our test vehicle seemed a tad firmer than the driver’s seat and therefore more comfortable on longer distances.
