With a gross vehicular weight of less than 3100 pounds, fuel efficiency ratings are impressive at 28/22 mpg highway/city. The standard factory warranty covers you bumper to bumper for 36 months or 36,000 miles.
Mazda cares about your safety too. An impressive list of across-the-trim-board standard safety features includes double frontal impact airbags that protect your head in the event of a collision. The passenger side bag can be deactivated. There are also torso-protecting side impact airbags included. 4-wheel anti-lock braking with brake force distribution automatically adjusts stopping power to each wheel individually when the brakes are activated in an emergency situation.

It’s just so fun to drive! It’s a small, convertible sports car that makes you want to drive everywhere just so you can enjoy all of the attention that you are granted. There are 2 basic configurations available: a hard-top powered retractable version or a traditional soft-top. It might be a little on the cute side, but it doesn’t play very well with others. Women adore its looks and men respect its fury.

Although, all trims come with a singular engine choice, a 2.0L I4, there are three different transmission options available to you. There is a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic that features steering wheel paddle shifters. Either manual transmission option will assist the stock engine to produce 167 horsepower while the automatic transmission option acts in conjunction with the engine to produce 158 horses.

Today, they are the only car maker in the world that makes gasoline, diesel, and rotary internal combustion engines, and the latest incarnation of the rotary engine is what powers their new Mazda RX-8.
Mazda sums up their mission to make cars that are fun to drive but also affordable with their flirty, zippy catch-phrase, “Zoom-Zoom.”

Headquartered in Hiroshima, Japan, Mazda Motor Corporation ranks as one of Japans leading car makers.
In 1970, Mazda began exporting cars to the United States and Europe, and those sales account for more than two thirds of the company’s total volume. Cars are assembled at one of two sites in Japan, or one of 18 sites elsewhere around the world. The facility in Hiroshima is one of the largest single site automobile factories in the world, and has an annual production capacity of more than half a million units. The Hofu plant is smaller, with a capacity of roughly 400,000 units. Sites overseas include joint ventures in Thailand and the United States, in partnership with the Ford Motor Company, Mazda’s largest shareholder.
