Generally held to be the most beautiful car ever to hail from the Land Of The Rising Sun, the Mazda RX7 could delight and frustrate in equal measures. Here is a car that is stunning to look at, electr...
The British may have invented affordable open-topped sports cars but it was the Japanese who popularised them in the modern era. It was an era started by just one car – the Mazda MX-5.
Designed by an...
A Mazda what? That’s likely to be the reaction of the pub pundits when you tell them you’ve just bought a Xedos 9. With sales of just a few hundred cars a year, you’re guaranteed to have the only one ...
Mazda returned to a more conventional school of design with the latest generation of its 323. Whilst the previous 323 was undoubtedly adventurous with its coupe-like profile and range of engines that ...
The Mazda Tribute is one of the best of the breed of compact 4x4s, a fact not generally recognised by its sales performance. Here is a vehicle that did practically everything you could reasonably dema...
The British public have yet to appreciate the Mazda Demio’s qualities. Perhaps it was due to some confusion as to exactly what a Demio represented. Early models had a slightly jacked up look with poli...
The Mazda Premacy has suffered the same fate as every Mazda of recent years bar the MX-5. A perfectly good product, but without that extra something that tempts people to buy them. Call it inadequate ...
The Mazda2 is a car that has slipped under the public radar a little. While the MX5, the Mazda3 and the Mazda6 have both sold well, the 2 left quite a few customers scratching their heads and wonderin...
Success can be a double-edged sword. While it’s great to reap the financial rewards of huge sales, it can also make designing a replacement that much trickier. Still, as problems go, it’s a nice one t...

For years, the idea of a Japanese sports saloon with the kind of prestige and status of a BMW or an Audi was a contradiction in terms. The Germans offered the class, the Japanese the value. Mazda’s Xe...
There aren’t too many modern cars which have achieved quite the level of success enjoyed by Mazda’s MX-5. Launched in the UK in 1990, it quickly established itself as the benchmark affordable roadster...
The Mazda3 saw the Hiroshima company bringing a class-competitive family hatch to market for the first time in a number of years. The old 323, while interesting, was never really a challenger for the ...
Mazda had long had a reputation as innovators, but the launch of the RX-8 elevated their reputation still higher. Not only did it boast a rotary engine – in common with all the RX series sports cars –...

Recommending a car to someone can be dangerous. If your opinion has been sought, there’s a good chance that the person has already settled on a vehicle and is merely after confirmation. In which case,...

Mazda spent most of the Eighties creating a range of adventurously styled cars that failed to sell well enough. The company went into the last recession in very poor health and had to be rescued by a ...

Ironic isn’t it, that what was once viewed as the most avant-garde supermini you could buy became the most conformist available. Mazda’s 121 was once the car that everyone in the supermarket carpark s...
If you're thinking of buying a medium range, used, family car, then you're not short of choices. Ford, Vauxhall and Renault all have special highly specified versions of their fleet favourites on offe...
Convertibles are, by their very nature, love it or hate it kinds of vehicles and on the used market, their polarising effects can be multiplied. Mazda’s MX-5 roadster has always done a creditable job ...

If there was ever such a thing as the invisible car, the Mazda MPV would be a pretty good contender for the crown. Few could visualise the shape, fewer still would know what the asking price was or ho...
Mazda broke new ground with this Mazda2. For a long time, superminis had been getting progressively bigger and heavier but this one was lighter, shorter and lower than the car which preceded it. It st...

Nobody quite saw the Mazda6 coming. It’s predecessor, the 626 series, was inoffensive, utterly reliable and massively bland, automotive Teflon that few missed when it slipped from view. The Mazda6 on ...
The Mazda MX-3 is a product of Mazda at its best. The early nineties saw Mazda launching the MX-3, the RX-7 twin turbo and the evergreen MX-5. These driver’s cars were cherished by their owners and ar...
The Mazda MX-6 is not a car to stir passionate debate amongst car enthusiasts. It does nothing poorly, quite a lot well and had a relatively low-key existence. It never received the adulation lavished...
