Mazda 6 2.2D Sport (2008) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 11 November 2008 10:01

The new Mazda 6 diesel is bucking the current trend for downsizing. When every other manufacturer seems intent on reducing engine displacement through turbocharging, Mazda has replaced its 2.0-litre diesel with a 2.2-litre oil burner. The old 138bhp engine is dropped from the UK line-up completely (though it will still be available in certain foreign markets) and in comes the ...

Mazda MX-5 2.0 (2009) CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 31 October 2008 11:17

This is Mazda’s new 2009 MX-5 – and in a world exclusive, CAR has driven the facelifted MX-5 seven months ahead of its UK debut to bring you the first road test of what is still the world’s most popular sports car. The news is all good… The facelifted Mazda MX-5 looks pretty much the same. What's new? Visually, the ...

Riding in the amazing Mazda Furai

Ben Whitworth, 07 August 2008 11:54

Forget the Batmobile, the Mazda Furai is one of the wildest looking cars of the moment. And we've just had one of the wildest rides of our life in this astonishing race car-cum-concept. You can watch the Furai in action in our official video below – and read our first impressions after a few hot laps. Flipping through the Furai’s ...

Mazda RX-8 R3 (2008) CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 16 July 2008 14:21

Mazda has been producing rotary engines since the year dot and they’ve become the company’s trademark long after others have given up on the idea. Yet rotary engines – like the new Mazda RX-8’s – are hard to justify. Compared to a piston engine, they were always known for gobbling fuel, using oil and suffering from premature wear. The upside ...

Mazda 2 1.3 TS2 3dr CAR review

Adam Towler, 05 June 2008 12:49

The Mazda 2 was a breath of fresh air when it launched in 2007. Its clever design and careful reduction in mass pointed to a lighter, hence cleaner, and also more entertaining future for the segment. Now that Mazda has launched a three-door ‘2’, does the good news continue? So, does losing a pair of doors make the ‘2’ even lighter? ...

Mazda 6 2.0 D TS2 Estate CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 23 April 2008 11:12

The last Mazda 6 launch held in Rome back in 2002 wasn’t just so much the launch of a new car but the relaunch of a brand. Did a pretty good job too, and left a bunch of bemused motoring journos wandering around muttering how good it was when actually they were secretly expecting something rather naff. Then, the emphasis ...

Mazda 2 1.3 TS2 CAR review

Anonymous, 06 November 2007 10:37

Hmm, a new Mazda 2. The old car was pretty dull, wasn’t it? Yes, but the new 2 is different. Out goes the frumpy, MPV-like styling of the previous model to be replaced by something altogether more attractive. Even in Kermit-the-Frog green. The old 2 wasn’t just boring to look at. It was hardly a pulse-quickening experience behind the wheel, ...

Mazda 6 2.0 CAR review

Anonymous, 10 October 2007 10:28

The old Mazda 6 was the acceptable face of repmobility. Will we get more of the same? When the first 6 came out in 2002, it was a genuinely surprising and enjoyable product in the stale upper-medium market. But they grow up so fast these days, and only five years later the 6 is being replaced. This car is almost ...

Mazda CX-7 2.3 CAR review

Anonymous, 20 July 2007 08:01

Another SUV? Yep, in these tree-hugging planet worrying times Mazda has added another SUV choice to the market. And why shouldn’t they, SUV sales aren’t in quite the freefall some people would have you believe with plenty of customers still out there looking for chunkily–styled off-roaders. Even so nobody at Mazda is too sure where it’s going to fit, particularly ...

Mazda 2 1.5 Sport CAR review

Anonymous, 18 June 2007 08:25

This looks a bit more interesting than the outgoing Mazda 2 You’re not wrong. When it arrives here in September, Mazda’s new 2 supermini will sit on spanking new chassis architecture – the same basic platform structure that will underpin Ford’s new Fiesta – and will trade the boxy profile of its predecessor for these sleek and wedgy lines that ...
