Mazda5 is both very affordable and fuel

Because it is a compact minivan, the Mazda5 is quite smaller than the usual set of minivans on our roads and streets. It has already presented and proved itself to the market as a vehicle that is able to transport passengers and cargo while providing performance and an unforgettable driving experience. Its parts may not look like those Mazda RX 7 performance parts you find in the market, but its own set do give the Mazda5 a different and unique appeal. It looks sportier than most minivans in the market which is greatly enhanced by its own sporty features and parts. Plastic covers that are clear enough to show the colored taillights give the Mazda5 an even better look.

As for the accommodations, both Mazda and Kia are at par with each other. In the third row Kia has noticeably more legroom, headroom, and knee room. On the other hand Mazda has a hard plastic trim piece that is right over the head of the passengers. In terms of seating comfort, Mazda provide slightly more comfort since its seats are higher off the floor approximately 270 millimeters compared to the 230 mm on Kia.

2011 The Mazda5 Review

The maker of Mazda radiator, Mazda and Kia seem to use a different method when it comes to calculating the relative space available however one thing is for sure with the third row deployed, there is no cargo space in either vehicle. But take note once the third row is down the cargo space quadruples. And with the center row seat flat, the Rondo opens up to 73.4 cubic feet. The Mazda 5 was able to match this space however its roofline may slightly limit its overall height.

The 2011 Mazda5 is both very affordable and fuel- efficient with several features that guarantee safety as well as comfort. Impressive new features include pack- and- pinion steering with Electro- Hydraulic Power Assist Steering system and Anti- Lock Brake System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist.

2011 The Mazda 6 is a fantastic unisex car

While it is true that there are only two 2010 Mazda MAZDA6 engine options, either power plant is designed to please and provide the ultimate driving experience. The most powerful choice is the 2010 Mazda MAZDA6 3.7 Liter V6 engine that produces 272 horse power and 269 pound feet of torque. The V6 delivers an impressive zero to sixty time of 6.5 seconds and is truly a powerful engine for a relatively light weight car. The fuel economy, however, suffers with the larger engine and estimated gas mileage is only 17 miles per gallon in city settings and 25 miles per gallon on the highway. The only available transmission with the V6 engine is a five speed automatic which has proven to be well matched with the motor.

For individuals that are seeking a more economical power plant in their MAZDA6, the 2010 Mazda MAZDA6 2.5 Liter V4 engine is perhaps the better choice. While it produces 170 horsepower and 167 pound feet of torque, the motor can be matched to one of three different transmissions which allows the driving experience to be matched to the specific desires of the driver. The fuel economy in the smaller engine is improved and the estimated gas mileage is 21 miles per gallon in city settings and a fairly impressive 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Thanks to its smaller displacement and aluminum alloy block, the new powerplant is a whopping 120 kg (265 lbs) lighter than the 2.0-liter diesel it replaces, without sacrificing performance. In fact, with 115HP and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque, the turbocharged four-pot produces +5HP, while using 14.8% less fuel in the combined cycle (5.2 lt/100 km or 45 US mpg) and emitting 13.2 percent less CO2 (138 g/km).

The new engine is also Euro5 compliant. It does this by using a low compression ratio (16:1) and an efficient exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler and bypass system. Other features of the MZ-CD 1.6 unit are the piezo injectors, variable-geometry turbocharger and maintenance-free diesel particulate filter (DPF) system.

Targeting better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions, Mazda has announced that the European market Mazda5 minivan is now available with a new 1.6-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine, which replaces the previous 2.0-liter unit.

“For the engine line-up of the new Mazda5, we placed emphasis on environmental performance and fuel economy. This aim led us to use Mazda’s 2.0-liter direct-injection petrol engine with i-stop, and to replace the 2.0-liter diesel engine with a newly developed 1.6-liter turbo diesel unit that leads the class in low CO2 emission levels”, said Hideki Matsuoka, Program Manager Mazda5.

Apply the rubbing alcohol using a paper towel or blue shop towel and wipe the entire surface where your shark fin antenna will be. Don't use cotton balls or cotton pads because, as we learned above, it leaves streams of cotton everywhere. Note: For waxed cars, you'll want to use the 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner/3M Prep Solvent 70 or Dawn liquid dish soap first to remove the wax from the install area. Then use the Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to go over the same surface again and let it dry.


Those who have rated the Mazda 3 on performance claim that the enhancements to the body seem to work well with the mechanics of the car. The steering is direct and responsive, the braking is sharp, the suspension is fine tuned and the engine has enough power to drive the weight of the vehicle with ease. Some claim that the new model drives better than the already good previous model. None of the 3's reputation for aggressive performance has been lost in the redesign.

Mazda has confirmed UK pricing for the all-new Mazda3 MPS that goes on sale October 1. The... smiley faced hot hatch is being marketed in the UK in a single trim level with pricing set at £21,500 (on the road) including mica or metallic paint finish.

A Mazda insider has said that the next MX-5 will use a revised twin-backbone frame, used in the RX-8, and build up on the RX-8’s viewpoint to take on a “super front-midship four-cylinder layout”. What this means is that the MX-5 engine will be placed behind the front axle for best weight distribution, and mounting the fuel tank and main exhaust in front of the rear axle, so all the vital components stay within the wheelbase.

It has all the modern features, too, like a 225 watt stereo with a six disc in dash CD changer, remote keyless entry, power windows, and subtle tuner touches like a silver painted tower brace and red painted stabilizer bars. The calipers have also been painted silver. The car weighs only 2529 lbs which always helps performance.

Mazda RX-7: Four-wheeled Star

Among the favorites from the movie was the 1993 Mazda RX-7 that Dominic Toretto drove in the street racing scene. Turbo-charged and nitrous-boosted, the fire engine red RX-7 kept Dominic as king of the streets. Just like any royalty, the Mazda RX-7 was regally attired. It had a Veilside body kit and custom headlights to make it stand out. The dagger-spoke wheels, also from Veilside, added to the sleek finish. Toyo 18-inch tires were installed for the best street handling.

Mazda is calling this new rotary engine the "long-stroke rotary engine." As you may already know, the 13B rotary engine has a displacement of just 1300cc, which is 1.3 Liters. While the Mazda 16x has an engine displacement of 1600cc (800cc x 2), which is 1.6 Liters; and though they've made the 16x significantly larger than the 13B - it weighs less than a 13B. This is due to aluminum side housings, which Mazda says shouldn't scare us.

The Mazda MX-5 is currently in its third generation and enjoying a consistent and fully deserved level of popularity. But what keeps dragging the consumers in is the unbelievably low price. For less than £20,000 you can own a fully functional, stylish looking and high performing sports car. Best of all, you won't get the jeering masses pointing at you as you drive through the town centres, accusing you of having some kind of breakdown. The question is; how does the sporty Mazda manage to be both cheap, mock-proof and maintain its value in the used car market?

2010 Mazda Sport Cars Coupe Shinari Concept Car

Mazda launched the 2010 Shinari sports cars coupe at the Paris Motor Show in early October, a four door concept car that shows the new design. This design as well as to replace the Nagare design. Mazda Shinari Concept represents the profound connection of driver and machine and the beginning of Mazda's latest design theme 'KODO-Soul in Motion'. Shinari exhibits a functional aesthetic that will continue to evolve as Mazda continues to define its next generation of vehicles.

2010 Mazda Sport Cars Coupe Shinari Concept Car

The development of the Shinari Concept was actually a collaboration between three of Mazda’s design centers in Japan, Germany and the United States. Mazda also said it is working to improve the quality level of its interiors for future vehicles. With 2010 Mazda Sport Cars Coupe Shinari Concept Car as the first step, Ikuo Maeda, general manager of Mazda's design division, aims to create original Mazda designs that will be recognized around the world. He summarizes his resolve in the following words:

"My goal is to create designs that people can point to proudly and say, 'This is a Mazda design'. There is no need for Mazda to build cars for people who are only concerned with 'style' and 'trends'. Whether working on sports cars or compact cars, I have always worked to create designs that evoke an emotional response in people and I hope to keep doing the same as I remain fully committed to develop designs for people who love and admire cars. It is my personal belief that the only way to create designs that fundamentally connect with people and to create designs they love, is if the people creating them are absolutely passionate about cars and are willing to make that passion a firm policy for design expression.

The Mazda Shinari is a pure design concept model of a four-door, four-seater sport cars coupe which perfectly expresses the 'KODO - Soul of Motion' design theme in a graceful and carefree form. All of Mazda Shinari Concept's body surfaces appear as if constantly undergoing transformation. There is no static shape to be found, as if the car is in perpetual motion. For instance the subtle control of the angle of the upper surface of the side sill, from the front to the rear, results in a form that suggests a flash of speed along the body of the car. Aerodynamic performance was a major priority for Mazda Shinari Concept, and the centre of the lower sections - on both the front and rear bumpers - are designed to optimize the flow of air along the underbody of the car.

The principle of 'dedicated driving ergonomics' is further reflected in the car's next generation Human Machine Interface (HMI). The availability of smaller electronic components has allowed Mazda Shinari Concept's designers to create a floating HMI three-dimensional display; a design element that represents the very latest HMI technology . The system offers three distinct modes: 'Business, Pleasure and Sport'.

Yasushi Nakamuta, the chief designer who led the design of the third generation Mazda MX-5, was the first to begin the ideation of the Mazda Shinari Concept: "The challenge for us was to create an innovative new expression for energetic and powerful movement; something that we had never attempted before. We began by developing the design around the image of a predator, as it strikes at its prey, or the stabbing movement in kendo, Japanese fencing, to express the instant where accumulated force is released.

Ikuo Maeda say, "Further, I consider it vitally important to have an awareness of Japanese originality in designing cars for Mazda. This is not merely about incorporating traditional Japanese elements into car design. I believe in reflecting the Japanese spirit in car designs as part of a subconscious practice. So, while I consider where this may lead in the future, my plan is to create cars that will be instantly recognizable as a Mazda, even when viewed at a distance. My ultimate goal is to create a brand presence that car lovers around the world recognize as representing both Mazda originality and Japanese originality. Future Mazda's will move people physically and emotionally - this is 'KODO - Soul of Motion'."
