2010 Mazda Shinari
ADVERTISEMENTS
When Mazda invited us to Milan to see its new concept car, we knew it must be something important. Normally concept cars get their 15 minutes of fame at an auto show, and then it's off to the next press conference to see what the following automaker will introduce. Not so with Mazda's latest styling endeavor. The Japanese automaker wanted our full and undivided attention, with the center of international design and fashion in Italy as a fitting backdrop.
The Shinari concept, which roughly translates to "resistance to being bent," will serve as a the basis for Mazda's new design language, and many of the styling cues will make it to future production vehicles. That means that the Shinari will essentially affect the design of every vehicle coming from the Japanese automaker for the next several years. An important car for Mazda? You bet.

Mazda RX-8 Elegant White Bodykit Edition
ADVERTISEMENTS
Mazda RX-8 Elegant White Bodykit EditionThe Mazda RX-8 offers four-seat practicality in an impractical-looking (ie, quite nice) coupe-thing. Suicide rear doors are a treat and the driving experience is one of a kind thanks to that manic rotary engine (sorry, ‘Renesis’ engine).
Comfort
Suicide doors allow easy access to small-ish rear seats, but you'll be able to get adults in there. Front-seat pilots will have plenty of room and the engine is super-smooth and rev-hungry - but heavy on fuel and oil. Firm suspension won't put you off either; this is one well thought-out car.
12 out of 20
Performance
Mazda's rotary ‘Renesis' comes in two flavours; 189bhp or 228bhp. The static measurement of 1.3-litres is a bit of a dodge really - the ‘rotary' part means that this isn't a classic bore-and-stroke mobile. There are three chambers, so it means that the engine is probably more like a 2.6-litre. It'll rev like a beast (well past 8,000rpm) and the 189bhp gets to 62mph in 7.2 and on to 139mph. Best to go for the 228bhp version though - 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds and a 146mph top speed.

Cool
We like it.
14 out of 20
Quality
Another well put together motor from Mazda. There were troubles with sticky revving on early 228bhp cars, so check that's been sorted, otherwise it's stress free. And it's supposed to use that much oil by the way.
13 out of 20
Handling
The rotary unit is very small and light, and the RX-8 takes advantage of that with a front-mid-engine layout and 50/50 weight distribution. There's little understeer unless you really throw it in, and the handling balance shades to oversteer in the wet. Otherwise you'll have trouble unsticking it. It provides bags of confidence - a bit like the MX-5 but on a bigger scale - so you can make the most of the rev-happy engine.
13 out of 20
Practicality
Rotaries use oil as part of their combustion cycle to lubricate the rotor tips, so be prepared to get under the bonnet a little bit. Other than that, suicide doors and proper four seats make such a difference when a car drives this well. The RX-8 carves out its own little niche - there's not much to touch it.

The name originated in Mazda Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian God. [Zoroastrian religion monotheistic or dualistic depending on the region, one would speak it would be a religion of many gods] Likewise, it is very similar to the phonetics of the name of the company founder, Jujiro Matsuda, who created in 1920 under the name Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd.
The manufacture of machine tools started in 1929, shortly after (1931) followed by a commercial vehicle three wheels, Mazdago. The first car, the Mazda R360 Coupe, a vehicle passenger two-door, came in 1960, and four-door Mazda Carol came into the world in 1962. The following year, the cumulative automobile production topped one million units.
The first vehicle Mazda's rotary engine (Wankel engine), the Mazda Cosmo Sports 110S, was released in 1967. In notable cars that helped build the reputation of the Mazda, we also include the introductions of the 1977 Mazda Familia (323) and Mazda Capella (626). Inheritance in sports car was firmly established by the Mazda RX-7 (1978) and consolidated by the Mazda MX-5, world's best selling sports car in two places, which launched in 1989. The Mazda RX-8 was launched in 2003 with the famous Wankel Renesis engine is one of only aspirated 1.3-liter capacity, capable of generating impressive 250 horsepower at 8500 rpm and 22.4 lb.-ft. of torque at 7500 rpm, which is 000-100 km / h 5.9 seconds.
