Review of Mazda RX-8

I love this car!

Advantages: Great looking, quick, easy to get work done, decent for a "tuner car"
Disadvantages: not the best gas milage, not many turbo options

...all. I have a 2008 Mazda 6 and I have been waiting to give a review about this untill I drove it in the snow. With all season tires (not even winter tires) it does an impressive job of getting through snow, slush, and pouring rain. In the summer, this car out-performed my expectations in handling. Not only that but this car is very quick. Of course it doesn't compare to the Audi RS4 or the Nissan 350Z, but for a non-turbocharged inline 4 engine it ...
...it up nicely. It is easy to get service done on the car if it ever would need it because the commonly used Duratec DOCH engine. The gas milage on the car is decent, but it could be a little better. If you are looking for a little extra performance there are many performance intake options for the V6 and the I4, and also many performance suspension options. On the down side, there are relatively few options for turbocharging, and none of them are ...

Review of Mazda 6

Performance you can afford!!!

Advantages: Fantastic driving experience, cheap to maintain
Disadvantages: not very practical

...the proud owner of two Mazda MX-5's and I have to say they have been the most reliable and joyous cars that I have owned thus far. Do not be fooled by thinking this is a typical hair dressers car, It's NOT! This really is a proper sports car which offers all the frills of a porsche for a fraction of the cost. The MX-5 has near perfect weight distribution combined with rear wheel drive which offers sublime handling and is regarded by many as being ...
...You can pick one of these beauty's up very cheap now, and my advice would be to wait for winter to kick in as you will see some excellent examples pop up for less than a thousand pound. In my opinion you can have just as much fun in the mk1 MX-5 as you can the mk2 and pick them up for a lot cheaper too. The styling on the mk1 is a bit more classic, with the main exterior difference being the pop up headlights which is not offered in the mk2. I would ...

Review of Mazda MX-5 1.6i

The Perfect Driving Machine

Advantages: Great driving experience, offers the frills
Disadvantages: not the most practical sports car

...the proud owner of two Mazda MX-5's and I have to say they have been the most reliable and joyous cars that I have owned thus far. The 1.8 sport has the added bonus of a six speed manual gearbox which only adds to it's already sporty pedigree. Do not be fooled by thinking this is a typical hair dressers car, It's NOT! This really is a proper sports car which offers all the frills of a porsche for a fraction of the cost. The MX-5 has near perfect ...

Review of Mazda MX-5 1.8i

It'll never grow old

Advantages: Sporty look and sporty performance
Disadvantages: Fuel consumption

I got my 323F 1.8 Automatic a year ago thinking I would get a sporty looking car but with a knackered and slow engine, but instead I got an endless fun car that performs just like its very first day. Reliabilty has always been a "must" in all my cars and so far I have had no trouble whatsoever. Parts are fairly easy to get, servicing costs are average (depending on where you get it done) and both handling and performance are astonishing. Unfortunately, ...
...fuel consumption. It might just be that being an automatic, mine just drinks petrol, but I have been told it usually is a thirsty car. Air conditioned comes as standard, with two air-bags, power assisted steering, all electric windows and electric sunroof. Forget the rumours that it looks like a girly car, as soon as you sit down and press the accelerator, you'll think you're Vin Diesel acting in the Fast and the Furious. Apparenty I'm not the ...
