2009 Mazdaspeed 3 on 2040-cars
Zachary, Louisiana, United States
This Speed3 has been owned by myself for 30,000 miles, i bought from a dealership with 40Kmiles on clock. At 69,000 miles the turbo packed in, i thereafter found out it to be a common issue with speed3's. Wish i had known before buying the car. The car has had a new turbo installed but it still has some smoking issues. The new turbo was a factory sized turbo, not any bigger, but i have been led to believe from some mazda dealerships that it may be a PCV issue. I no longer need this vehicle, and it has only had 50 miles put on it in the last 6 months. I am giving eBay a shot for a month before taking it into a dealership and taking what i can get.
The interior is 9/10 for a 5 year old car. The exterior i would give an 8, only because the windshield has a crack. I know this vehicle would be a $15K car if it was perfect in a dealership. With a little know how and time, someone could have a great deal. It has Yakima roof racks included, but otherwise stock. It is the GT version so Bose sound system as standard as well as the leather and alcantara interior. It is still a very fun and quick vehicle and is 100% driveable. |

Mazda planning 'aggressive' dealer shakeup
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Mazda has set an ambitious goal of selling 400,000 units by the end of the 2015 Japanese fiscal year in March 2016, and to do that, it's going to need to take some aggressive action. That means that underperforming members of its 637-showroom strong dealer network are about to get the axe.
The purge won't just be limited to dealers that aren't performing, though. Mazda will seek to consolidate poorly located dealers and build new showrooms in better locations. It still isn't clear how many dealers are being targeted or at what point Mazda would end its cull.
This consolidation of dealers is all part of a one-two punch for the Japanese brand, that will also see increased marketing efforts in 35 key areas. Of those markets, Mazda is placing a special emphasis on New York and LA, although there's not much mention of what other regions are being looked at.
2014 Mazda6: Introduction
Thu, 30 May 2013An Extended Stay With The Sexy Six
The new-for-2014 Mazda6 sedan is more than just a pretty face. For Mazda, it marks the company's best effort yet at competing in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment, all the while staying true to the brand's core value of offering high levels of driver involvement above all. We certainly came away impressed after our first drive of the sleek Six in France last fall, and we knew right from the start that this would be a car we'd want to spend a lot of time with back here at home.
So with that in mind, the folks at Mazda graciously agreed to loan us the fully loaded Soul Red tester you see here for a one-year stay in the Autoblog long-term garage. Because of how important this car is to the segment, and to Mazda as a brand, we know there's going to be a lot to talk about it over the next 12 months. Right now, though, allow us to introduce you to the newest member of our long-term family.
Red Bull RX-7 goes drift crazy on New Zealand's Crown Range
Tue, 07 May 2013For the first time ever, the Crown Range, New Zealand's highest paved road, was closed off for the drifting pleasure of one man. That man is Mad Mike Whiddett, and the machine he's piloting is a heavily modified Mazda RX-7 sponsored by the energy-rich crew from Red Bull and powered by a 750-horsepower quad-rotor engine. There will be smoke. Lots and lots of smoke.
Mad Mike hits speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour over the course of the road's six and a half miles, which boasts 47 individual corners at over 3,500 feet of elevation. Scroll down for all kinds of fire-belching, tire-squealing and smoke-inducing action. Or, as Mad Mike himself puts it, "A dream turned into reality."
