Mazda CX7 is equipped with a 244-horsepower, 2.3l turbocharged inline-4 engine, whereas, the CX9 sports a 273 horsepower, and a 3.7litre engine. The former generates a torque of 258lb-feet while the latter generates a torque of 270 lb-feet.

Mazda Vehicles

The inline-4 of Mazda CX7 gives above average power and can achieve 0-60 mph in 7.7 seconds; CX9 takes 7.4 seconds to achieve 0.60 mph. Gas mileage of both these vehicles is fair. The EPA-rated of Mazda CX7 is 17mpg in city driving and 23mpg on the highway. Mazda CX9 model earns 16mpg in the city and 22mpg on the highway for a 2-wheel drive. All-wheel drive versions offer about 1mpg lesser.

The Mazda CX9 sports 18-inch alloy wheels in the sports models and 20 inch wheels in the top-end grand touring. This series has full power accessories, air conditioning, telescoping steering wheel with mounted cruise and audio controls and a lot more. Mazda CX7 is equipped with standard air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD audio system, cruise control, power windows and mirrors. Both the series have similar trim levels such as base sport, mid-range touring and high-end grand touring.

The grand touring offered by the Mazda CX7 series features leather upholstery, heated exterior mirrors and automatic climate controls. The CX9 grand touring offers 20-inch wheels, rain sensing wipers, xenon headlights, keyless ignition and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. CX9 is sporty and roomy as compared to CX7 but the 20-inch wheels take away some of the smoothness in the ride. However, money spent in any of these series is well spent because they cater quality better than any other competitors.

Sometimes it is better to express less as the real beauty is beyond words and this applies significantly for Mazda cars in Brisbane. If you are interested in any Mazda vehicles, it is my personal opinion that you visit the nearest dealer to live through the Mazda experience. Mazda cars in Brisbane are designed based on the philosophy of delivering the best and they truly deliver that.

Mazda’s are a wonderful brand of vehicles; it is no wonder that Mazda car sales in Brisbane are incredibly high. If you are looking for a Mazda in Brisbane, you should definitely look for a Mazda car dealer. Dealers offer a number of benefits that you simply will not find elsewhere.  Brisbane Mazda dealers offer great prices that other competition simply cannot be beaten.

Mazda dealers offer benefits such as;

• Dealer’s warranty and extended warranties
• Used care trade ins
• Choice of type of Mazda
• Dealers often have repair shops

Dealer’s warranty and extended warranties

Many Brisbane Mazda dealerships offer a warranty on their vehicles. This can range from a 30 day full warranty and return policy to a vehicle being sold in an as is state, with no guarantees at all. Some dealers offer to cover the repairs to a vehicle over a certain time period. Very often it will be a smart idea to purchase an extended warranty contract. These will often cover the cost to maintain and repair a vehicle over a certain time period or mileage.

Trading in your used car

Trading in your old car to a Brisbane Mazda dealership has many advantages. When you trade in your old car, you do not have to go through the usual hassle of selling it.  It also can end up getting you more value than if you sold it to someone else. The value that you get can lower the payment on your new Mazda, or even act as a down payment in some cases. You do not usually have this option when trying to purchase a vehicle from an individual.

Choice of type of Mazda

Buying a new Mazda from a Brisbane dealership gives you a big advantage because you get to choose the type of Mazda you want to buy. When buying from an individual, you are very limited as to the type of Mazda you want. When purchasing from Brisbane Mazda’s, you have a wide range of options, such as different models and colors.

Repair Shops

A lot of car dealerships will have repair shops on the premise of the business. This allows them to repair the car for you, saving you money on having to pay for expensive mechanic repairs.

There are so many advantages from buying from a dealer over anyone else; there is no reason not to. For more information on what dealers have to offer, or for more information on Mazda’s, visit your local Brisbane Mazda dealer.

Mazda RX8 Brisbane

If you’ve never experienced the magic of a rotary engine then you should do so ASAP! Head on down to your local Mazda Dealer Brisbane and test drive one today. Although proven by Mazda to be a force in the engine world, the rotary has never really been picked up by any other major car manufacturers. This article will very briefly look into the history of Mazda and the rotary engine as well as some advantages and disadvantages of the rotary engine.

The rotary engine itself was an idea dreamed up by a 17 year old German named Felix Wankel in 1919. Development began in 1924 and in 1957 the first prototypes were established and tested. Mazda began selling their first (and the world’s first) two rotor engined car, the Cosmo Sport, on May 30^th 1967. With proven reliability and over 3 million kilometres of test drives in six years, Mazda was ready to start exporting their rotary engined cars to the rest of the world.

Enter the realm of the turbocharger – the cosmo RE Turbo went on sale in 1982 and was the first rotary engine equipped with a turbocharger. Due to being resistant to knocking, it was found the rotary engine was better suited to this type of set up.

One of the most recognisable cars in Mazda’s history is the RX7. With production from 1978 – 2002 it led the way for rotary development, with the introduction of the sequential twin turbo system (use of a single turbocharger at low speeds and the full twin system at high speeds). The successor to the RX7 is the high spec’d Mazda RX8. Take a test drive of the Mazda RX8 in Brisbane at your local Oldmac Mazda Dealer Brisbane.

With the brief history out of the way, what are some of the general advantages of the rotary? Put simply: simplicity (less moving parts, lower production costs), smoothness (allowing for higher rpm and higher power output), size (the function of the engine allows for small size and small engine displacement, ultimately saving weight). Being such a high performance engine though there comes a few disadvantages: no major fuel savings,  lower torque output (not that this really matters on the road!) and the need for regular maintenance (due to oil injection to keep the chambers lubricated, regular oil checks are needed).

If you’re after a new Mazda in Brisbane or are looking to test drive any of the Mazda range then visit your local Oldmac Mazda dealer in Brisbane or book a test drive online.

You can also take your pick from any of the standard passenger cars Mazda has to offer. You can drive away with a Mazda6 with a savings of $1000 off the retail price. This is a huge opportunity to get the car you’ve been wanting. There are also big savings available for those looking to get the smaller, compact cars which Mazda has to offer, such as the Mazda2 and Neo variants which can be driven away after $500 in new savings. Move up to the Mazda3 to enjoy an even bigger rate of savings with a full $1000 taken off so you can drive away for as little as $21,990.

These savings come directly from Mazda and are meant to be passed directly to the consumer. If you have been putting off getting a new Mazda car then this might be the opportunity you have been waiting for. Savings like these make this the absolute best time to purchase a new Mazda. With a reputation for reliability and comfort, you can’t go wrong no matter which model you drive home with.

The Mazda 6 is the first model from the manufacturer that embodied the company’s new design philosophy of being “stylish, insightful and spirited”. Not only notable for its handsome appearance, the Mazda 6 Brisbane auto specialists prefer also stands out from its other, more well-established peers in the mid-sized sedan demographic thanks to its own particular charisma.

Even Mazda 626 Brisbane die hards would have to admit that the Mazda 6 has more than just an edge over its predecessor. Compared to the Mazda 6, the 626 did the job in terms of performance but failed to excite drivers or stand out in a crowd of similar models. Drivers who valued comfort as much as performance also found the interior space and styling somewhat lacking, and its powertrains left much to be desired.

The Mazda 6 is not all looks and no substance either, as the driver who intends to replace his Mazda 626 Brisbane model has a choice of either a 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder engine that generates 170 horsepower and torque of up to 167 pound-feet, or a 3.7 liter V6 engine with 272 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. The former accompanies 6-speed manual transmission or 5-speed auto transmission models, while only models with 6-speed auto transmissions come with the latter.

Considered the best mid-sized car in Australia in 2002 and 2003, the Mazda 6 possesses high resale value, as Mazda 6 Brisbane fans fully appreciate and value its outstanding design, responsive steering and exceptional suspension.

Mazda BT50 is a powerful ute that feels great on any road. Furthermore, the ride feels the same way the car looks. There are, however, an awful lot of pretty cars–why should you prefer this one? Other seemingly distinct models from Mazda, such as Tribute, have similar features like off-road capability and both come in 4×2 or 4×4 models.

Mazda BT50 has set itself apart with being the best 4WD ute in 2007, as said by 4WD Monthly. Its trademark features are: dubbed MZR-CD; direct fuel injection, and four valve-engines that come in 2.5 litres for 4×2 and 3.0 for 4×4. This is a great car not only power, but also safety-wise, coming with an enhanced electronic brake distribution and side airbags. The trademarks of this car are the low fuel consumption and the sporty look. For acquiring or trying out a Mazda BT 50 Brisbane has a lot of dealers who specialize in selling new or used Mazda cars.

Unlike other Mazda’s models such as Mazda Tribute, which tend to consume a lot of fuel, the BT50 is a real birdy. The fuel consumption is, of course, dependant on the “weight” of your feet, but, for example, Tributes consume roughly a little more than 15 litres/100km in the city, as opposed to BT50’s 9-11 litres. Ergonomically, however, BT50 is a regular Mazda–a comfortable saloon, not falling short on the space for legs or passengers for that matter.

If you want a sporty you can also get to with, not only camping, BT50 is a far more legit choice than most of the others. If you are located in the city, you should really think about whether you need an SUV like the Mazda Tribute Brisbane is a big city and the fuel consumption might put a huge toll on you in the long run.

When it comes to cars, you would want to settle for nothing but the very best. It is something which defines you to someone who doesn’t even know you and so it had better be good. What better way than a Mazda RX-8? This beauty is a sheer pleasure to drive and this is one decision which you will never regret taking.
