Mazda 5 2.0 DISI (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 23 June 2010 11:34

Mazda will replace its 5 midi-MPV in autumn 2010 and CAR's just driven the new minivan. The new Mazda 5 (2010) is the first production car to bear the full fruits of the company's much-vaunted 'Nagare' design policy, with some highly unusual sculpting on the flanks. As you can read in our news story here, that design direction is being ...

Mazda 3 MPS (2009) hot hatch CAR review

Ben Barry, 04 September 2009 00:07

Not that long ago, Mazda’s 3 MPS was the hot hatch king – well, with 256bhp it was the most powerful front-wheel drive hatch you could buy, if not the best to drive or look at. Now it’s back with an aggressive restyle, plus a whopping extra…sorry, old habits and all that. No, it’s back with exactly the same 256bhp ...

Mazda 3 1.6 (2009) new CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 21 January 2009 13:54

The Mazda 3 is very important to the Japanese manufacturer. Over 30% of the cars it sells are 3s and it’s shifted over 2 million of them since 2003. Now there’s a new one, with a stiffer chassis (albeit not a new one), new tech and much sharper looks. Can it compete with the new Golf, and Megane, not to ...

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 (2008) 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 2 1.3 TS2 (2007) CAR review

David Motton, 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 (2007) CAR review

3.5

Steve Moody, 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 (2007) CAR review

Kyle Fortune, 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 (2007) CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 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 ...

Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 18 September 2006 07:27

Finally, a folding tin top that looks great and isn’t a Mercedes. Amen to that. Although the MX-5 is in a market of about one now that the MR2, Smart Roadster and MGF have vacated the two-seater arena, Mazda reckons that loads of potential buyers have been put off by the conventional soft hood. The Roadster Coupe doesn’t replace the ...
