‘ZOOM ZOOM POCKET ROCKET’
From a distance the all-new 2010 MazdaSpeed3 may look like its Mazda3 siblings with its five-point grille and sleek lines, but upon closer inspection and just one minute behind the wheel will prove otherwise.
The all-new MazdaSpeed3 blends the five-door functionality of the all-new Mazda3 5-door with bolder, more aggressive styling and exhilarating performance to meet the needs of driving enthusiasts with active lifestyles. Carrying forward the award-winning MZR 2.3 liter DISI Turbo engine, the new MazdaSpeed3 builds on the legendary performance of the original while adding a fresh new look and even better handling.

2009 Mazda MAZDA6i Grand Touring Review and Test Drive

The original Mazda6, first introduced for the model year 2003, made Zoom-Zoom the two most evocative words in automotive lexicon. The sport sedan was the first Mazda vehicle to benefit from the spirit of a true sports car infused in a five-passenger, 4-door sedan. Lessons learned from that car plus the award-winning Mazda CX-7 and CX-9 crossovers encouraged a clean-sheet approach to building this latest mid-size sedan from Mazda. Most importantly, though, this is the first Mazda vehicle designed, engineered, developed and manufactured in the U.S.
Compared to the original Mazda6, this new edition rides on a 4.5-inch longer wheelbase, with wider front and rear tracks. This larger package not only increases interior measurements, it moves the Mazda6 from the bottom to the top of the mid-size class as defined by SAE and EPA volume measures.
Two new powertrains rise to the occasion of moving the new Mazda6 with authority. The Mazda6 i’s new 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine generates 170hp while the new Mazda6 s’s 3.7 liter V6 makes 272hp, along with mpg gains ranging from 9 to 28%.

2009 Mazda RX-8 R3 Test Drive “More Performance and Styling”
Originally launched in 2003, the Mazda RX-8 was an enigma at the start with its four-small ‘suicide-style’ rear doors, and generating power from a Rotary engine. The upside of the RX-8 was that it has won 52 global awards since 2003 including 2004 U.S. Best Sports Cars and UK Car of the Year 2004, and Car and Driver’s Ten Best list for 2004-2006. All together, Mazda has sold nearly 158,000 RX-8s around the world.
