2009 Mazda 3

Mazda has definitely earned itself a great reputation with great vehicles such as the Mazda RX7 many years ago and today’s RX8. Besides nicely done sports cars, Mazda also makes high quality, fuel efficient cars for everyday use- one is the Mazda 3. The Mazda 3 might be the base model for this brand, but the base model can also tell a lot about the company that makes it. Although the Mazda 3 is about $15K, most will find plenty of fun, sporty good looks and comfort in this model. The Mazda 3 is a four door sedan which is perfect for those with a small family, college kids on a budget and would like some room to haul their friends and for those that like fun cars in small packages that are fuel efficient.

Under the Hood of the Mazda 3
While you won’t find anything revolutionary, the engine is quite capable and peppy. The Mazda 3 sports either has a 2.0 L 4 cylinder DOHC that offers 148 hp or a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder DOHC that adds about 8 more hp to 156 hp. There are plenty of trims with this vehicle and you can match up these engines either with a 4 speed automatic, 5 speed manual economy transmission or a 5 speed sport automatic transmission that comes equipped with a manual shift mode. Fuel economy is a major selling point of this vehicle and this vehicle gets very nice mileage near 30 mpg on the highway.

Exterior and Interior
There is plenty to like about both the interior and exterior. There are plenty of trims to choose from and with these trims come more and more comforts. In addition, you can also choose between 15 inch, 16 inch and 17 inch tires- depending on the trim. Base price is about $15K all the way up to $21,500 for the S Grand Touring trim package.

Mazda MX-5 Miata

It’s been a long ride for the Mazda Miata, starting as a 1990 model year, the Miata pretty much single handedly revolutionized the roadster in the states. Since it’s inception, this small, but extremely capable roadster has had plenty of competition from the likes of BMW, Honda and even Pontiac, however, for those that fell in love with the Mazda Miata back in the day, there is still plenty to bring you back to the new Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Plenty of Trims to Choose From
One thing about this year’s Mazda MX-5 Miata is the many trims to choose from (there are actually 14 trims- but who’s counting). However, even with the difference in trims, the engine is still the same- a 4 cylinder 2.0 liter engine that delivers a very peppy 166 horsepower. While the Mazda MX-5 Miata still keeps its classic good looks, you do have a choice between a soft top or a more practical hard top (perfect for those in the colder climates). Transmissions come in both manual and automatic and it should be noted that unlike the run of the mill compact size vehicle, the MX-5 is rear wheel drive.

A Great Toy for the Budget Minded
The Mazda Miata was always a vehicle geared to those looking for a second or third vehicle perfect for country drives or when you need to relax and enjoy the wind in your hair. And while categorized as a pleasure vehicle by many, it does fit in most budgets. The base model comes in at about $28K, the mid level model at about $31K and the top of the line MX-5 can be had at $38K. All in all the Mazda MX-5 Miata continues to be a contemporary American classic.

2009 Mazda RX8

The Mazda RX8 comes from one of the great molds of vehicles that Mazda ever produced- the RX7. While the RX8 offers plenty of power, performance and is quite affordable, for most it will never touch the heights that the RX7 has. The 2009 Mazda RX8 offers a rotary engine which for tuning enthusiasts is not only more reliable, but more efficient at producing power. On the Mazda RX8, you can choose to have a 232 horse power 1.3 liter engine and a manual transmission (6 speed) or a 212 horsepower 1.3 liter with a six speed sport A/T transmission.

While offering very peppy performance, the 2009 Mazda RX8 is similar with past models which were launched starting in the year 2003. Many of the changes for the 2009 year are aesthetics, however the RX8 does offer a new R3 sport package. The R3 does add lots of sporty performance and will remind many Mazda RX7 enthusiasts of older R1 and R2 packages of yesteryear. Besides offering a rotary engine, the R3 offers sport tuned suspension, Bilstein shock absorbers and a urethane foam filled crosmembers on the front suspension. This not only adds for a smoother ride, but for greater control.

Besides great performance, the R3 offers a nicely designed rear spoiler, fog lights, side sills and an overall aggressive appearance. Inside, you will find plenty comforts including a great audio system, nicely styled sport leather seats, leather trim and keyless entry. The 2009 Mazda RX8 is not only sporty, but economical when it comes to fuel economy. Expect to get about 24 miles to the gallon on the highway and about 5 or 6 less in the city. The MSRP for the 2009 RX8 is about $25K for the entry models and $32K for the R3 making both performance and good looks budget friendly for many car tuning enthusiasts.
