Mazda Adaptive LED Headlights

Driving in low light conditions is much more difficult than doing so in the bright sunshine. Mazda's LED innovation has made a breakthrough.

It allows drivers to see more clearly while behind the wheel at night.

2015 Mazda Miata

The Mazda Miata is a well-tuned driver’s machine. With sharp steering, tight handling and a comfortable ride, the Mazda delivers miles and miles of smiles. Since its introduction back in 1989, the Miata has been on everybody’s list of best cars for one reason or another. Further, if you’re looking for a brand-new rear drive two-seat convertible with a lower price, you won’t find one anywhere. The Miata is it. Power comes from a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 176 horsepower and 140 ft-lbs of torque. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual and a six-speed automatic. However, if you choose the six-speed automatic you’ll give up nine horsepower.  Fuel economy averages 25 miles per gallon with the manual and 23 with the automatic.

Love Riding With The Top Down? You Can Thank Mazda For That.

Cruising with the top down this summer?  While you’re enjoying that breeze, just keep in mind that the design you love today had some very cool beginnings.  Back in 1988, Mazda engineer Takaharu Kobayakawa showed up to his favorite ski resort in the RX-7 Convertible with its top down.  Crazy, right?  Surprisingly, no.  We’d call it smart.  With its heater vents carefully aimed, this pivotal moment led to his invention of the wind blocker.

The design has been imitated by almost all convertible manufacturers since.
