Goldmine: Live the rotary dream with this Mazda RX7 FD3S

It has been long established that Mazda charts its own path when it comes to defying automotive convention and plays by its own rules. But hey, you don't become the only carmaker in the world to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a rotary engine by following what everyone else is doing. In doing so, Mazda and rotary engines became synonymous. The pinnacle of Mazda's rotary chronicles has to be the RX7 FD3S, the final one in a lineage of fine RX7s. You would've probably seen Takahashi Keisuke pilot

The Mazda MX-30 made its debut late last year at the Tokyo Motor Show, as Mazda’s first series production electric vehicle. The model made its debut as a battery electric vehicle (BEV), meaning it runs entirely on batteries, and is said to go on sale later this year.

At the same time, Mazda have repeatedly mentioned that it is working on a return of its iconic rotary en

Bermaz Auto has quietly discontinued the Mid Spec Mazda 2 Hatchback and Sedan in Malaysia, just shy of 2 years since the model was launched here. We understand that Bermaz decided to discontinue the Mid Spec variants is due to the impending price hike for fully imported (CBU) cars that is set to happen in June 2020, as all variants of the Mazda 2 are imported from Thailand.

Mazda CX-30 vs Mazda 3 – Should you trade higher seating position for better handling?

As you know, the Mazda 3 comes in two body types, a sedan and a hatchback (which distributor Bermaz Auto prefers to call it a Liftback). Nameplates aside, the Mazda 3 family actually includes an SUV (or if you insist, crossover). The Mazda CX-30 is essentially a jacked up, shorter wheelbase version of the Mazda 3. Distance between the wheels is 70 mm shorter, with a 40 mm taller ground clearance. The shorter wheelbase also means that the CX-30 has less legroom in the rear than in the Mazda 3, it
