2014 Mazda6 gets Zoom-Zoomier with Skyactiv
I am a huge fan of Mazda. Huge. I love the Zoom-Zoom philosophy combined with the incredible functionality of the cars in its lineup. The Mazda2 is a great city car. The CX-5 is both functional and fun as a crossover. And the Mazdaspeed3 is on my short list of cars I want to buy. In... Read more »

Today's Rave: Mazda6 greeting lights

As a single woman, I appreciate anything that not only makes my life a little easier but also a little safer.

Mazda6 repeat proves first impression rings true

2010 Mazda6 I drive a lot of cars. A lot of cars. And I’ve learned one thing throughout the process: First impressions are usually correct. I had previously attended a media preview of the Mazda6, and we had a couple of hours of presentations and a couple of hours behind the wheel. While I thought... Read more »
