The name Mazda stems from Ahura Mazda, the highest Zoroastrian God of reason who granted wisdom and united man, nature and the other gods. It also closely resembles the sound of the company founder’s name, Mr Jujiro Matsuda. He started the company in 1920 as Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd. In 2001 the company celebrates 70 years of automobile production. The company first forged a partnership with Ford in 1969, forming an automatic transmission manufacturing joint venture. Ten years later, Ford acquired a 25% stake in Mazda, and the relationship has developed strongly ever since – AAI, the companies’ joint US venture has made well over 2 million vehicles since 1992.

Mazda people do the thinking for you offering you a car with all the things they like (or they like to sell to you). So there's little to choose for you, you take it or you don't. But if you choose this car be warned, it's a giant step back in time (look at the back-seat-construction, it's never seen before except in the Willy of General Patton). Compared to my old Mazda 121 (1989) it's noizy and lazy (it feels like a diesel) and the fuel-consumption is just the same (after 15 years of technical evolution ? maybe this is a diesel running on regular ?). OK everything is heavier, it's more car, it's more power, it's certainly more up-to-date, but I think: if this is the new Mazda-generation, my next car can be whatever because after one year there's still no love.

Mazda 6 TS2 136 deisel

Not only a handsome car with a purposeful, sporty and mildly aggresive look, but there's method in the madness with a broad stance, poise, balance and athleticism - which all makes for a satisfying
drivers car. Whilst the Avensis looks middle aged and is good on motorways, this is the reverse, made for people who still like a bit of a drive, who may hit motorways but who also want the agility needed for country lanes and sharp corners. Equipment is great on the TS2 - and the boot is revelation. Am also saving a mint on Company car tax as the deisel is Euro 1V compliant in
saloon/hatch format and that's a saving of 3% on tax. Have traded in L\' Rover Freelander TD and am having more fun AND saving about £1500 in tax!

Model - Mazda MPV 2.3 2004 model

Looking for a smart and practical 7-seater, the Mazda may be almost unseen on UK roads but it is well worth considering.

The 2.3 petrol model is less popular than the 2.0 turbo-diesel it seems, and both may be withdrawn soon anyway, making our Mazda dealer keen to match the best internet price; so we got a bargain. You would have to drive 100,000 miles to close the price gap between the more economical diesel and this smooth and willing petrol engine. You get so much for your money anyway, with only the one trim level in the range having all of the essentials - ABS, Traction Control and braking assistance for safety; Air Conditioning and a sunroof, CD player and RDS Radio; Alloys and fog-lamps etc. As supply is running low we couldn't get the colour we wanted, but the Silver looks cool with darkened rear windows to block out strong sunlight and prying eyes.

You quickly get used to the elevated MPV driving position, and soon forget that its a big car as the handling is so good and the engine quite lively. Sliding rear doors make it easy with the family in tight spaces, a pity the rear door can't be opened from the inside as well. Middle seat has only a lap belt but usually travels folded down as a table anyway. Separate air conditioning controls in the rear prove popular with the littlest ones, but can be overridden from the front if necessary.

We've had it two months now with no delivery problems, the build quality is high and it looks built to last years of family use.
