Classic Mazda Vehicles: Mazda RX-7

Classic Mazda Vehicles: Mazda RX-7 The Mazda RX-7 was the vehicle that changed Mazda history – its 1,146cc 12A twin-rotor motor sat behind the front axle in front-midship location in order to give the vehicle a perfect 50:50 weight distribution and lower center of gravity. This vehicle offered drivers with outstanding driving handling and character which won the hearts of fans all over the globe. This Mazda model also proved to be the most successful racecar after winning the 24 Hours of Daytona and the IMSA GTO title for ten consecutive years. Additionally, this car won the Touring Car championship in the UK and in Australia. The Mazda RX-7 was so popular that 500,000 models were built between 1978 and 1985 – making it the most popular rotary-powered car ever built.

Car Basics: Synthetic Oil vs. Conventional Oil

Car Basics: Synthetic Oil vs. Conventional Oil When it comes to your car everything is important and keeping up with your vehicle’s maintenance is critical. The rule of thumb is that every 3,000 miles you should change your vehicle’s oil, but have you found yourself debating whether to go with synthetic of conventional oil? There are a few points to consider before making the decision. First you should know that synthetic oil is more expensive, but it may be worth the extra few bucks. Synthetic oil is regular mineral oil whose constituents have been separated and then remixed in a much higher quality to provide better quality oil in extreme conditions. Synthetic oils also have a much higher heat resistance so it is important to use this type of oil in engines with high heat output or vehicles that are tough performers, i.e. hauling trucks, sportscars and large carriers. Conventional oil is great as well, as a matter in fact, most cars on the road will run just fine with conventional oil – regardless of the fact, it is always best to go with the oil recommended in your owner’s manual, because that is what your engine has been designed for.

2016 Mazda Miata Coupe

2016 Mazda Miata Coupe In only a few days Mazda will be unveiling its all-new Mazda MX-5 Miata and people are waiting anxiously. Besides the fact that the latest Mazda development will be put on display for the entire world to see, rumors are that there might be a big surprise waiting. According to Automotive News, the latest MX-5 model might come in two forms – roadster and coupe. This is completely new because Mazda has never put a fixed-top Miata into mass production. Along with a fixed top, a few other details tell us that the new Miata will be lighter, have a 2.0-liter SkyActiv engine, and a six-speed manual gearbox, obviously. And from what we heard in Mazda’s teaser vid, it might even be turbo too. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

2015 Mazda2 Almost Ready to Launch in the US Market

2015 Mazda2 Almost Ready to Launch in the US Market Mazda has revealed that the 2015 Mazda2 is just about ready to launch in the US market, only a few more tweaks and final touches are needed to officially release the new model. On the other hand the global production car was revealed a few days ago – A Mazda representative commented, “With more than 2.4 million units sold worldwide, the Mazda2 is the best-selling vehicle in Japan.” Although being a best seller in Japan is an incredible accomplishment for the compact vehicle, it is hard to imagine what that must mean since the car does not receive as much fan activity in the U.S.

2015 Mazda CX-5: Smart City Brake Support

2015 Mazda CX-5: Smart City Brake Support

Smart city brake support system is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control when the system’s laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead:

  1. When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 MPH

  2. The system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.

  3. It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 9.3 MPH.

  4. When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 MPH, the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist.

  5. Smart City Brake Support automatic brake is released approximately 2 seconds after the vehicle comes to a stop.
