2019 Mazda CX-9: The Gymnast4.0/5

For mainstream brands, successfully selling a midsize, three-row SUV isn’t an easy task. The average number of children in North-American families isn’t rising, so the need for such a big vehicle isn’t always justified. And each model in this segment must battle about ten competitors. The number is about to …April 1, 2019

2019 Mazda3 AWD: A Lot More Than All-Wheel Drive4.0/5

2018 Mazda3: Taking a Bow4.0/5

The current generation of the Mazda3, which was introduced for the 2014 model year, has been good for the Japanese automaker. Although it didn’t sell quite as well than the first-gen model (2004-2008), it consistently ranked among the best-selling cars in Canada, at a time when consumers were shifting towards …November 9, 2018

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Coming to a Mazda Vehicle Near You

Mazda has been one of the last automotive manufacturers to integrate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in their products, and it’s not because customers haven’t been asking for this feature. Some people went as far to say that wouldn’t purchase another Mazda if Apple and Android integration wasn’t available. That’s …September 13, 2018

2018 Mazda MX-5 RF: Simplify Your Life4.0/5

As I’m writing this, Mazda has already announced an updated version of its little roadster. The 2019 Mazda MX-5 will feature slightly more power from its naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four cylinder. You might imagine then, that reading a review of the 2018 model is irrelevant. Well, not exactly. Because many …August 9, 2018

2019 Mazda MX-5: More Power!

The Car Guide is heading to Toronto this week in order to get our grubby hands on the 2019 Mazda MX-5 roadster, which benefits from some engine modifications to increase its output. More of a “want” than a “need,” the MX-5 will now offer 17 percent more power for a …July 17, 2018

2018 Mazda6: New and More Upscale4.0/5

With the demise of the Mazda5, the Japanese brand has only three cars left in its Canadian portfolio: the MX-5, Mazda3 and Mazda6. The writing was on the wall, as car sales continue to nosedive in favour of SUVs. The Mazda6, the brand’s flagship, is in a segment that has …April 23, 2018
