The Zoom-Zoom Mazda family

Many affluent families these days have three to four cars in the driveway. If you were to drive around in a high earning neighborhood, many homes will carry a car for the high paid executive dad, another for the professional working mother and a third for the fresh graduate son looking for some serious dating time with the right set of wheels. Only one manufacturer comes to mind when we consider filling up this family’s garage with 3 practical, well equipped, luxurious and also exciting vehicles. Mazda!

For the dad looking for a comfortable daily driver with style and power when needed, the new Mazda CX7 SUV makes great sense as it will be the perfect companion in the corporate car park and when necessary to take clients out for lunch there is enough comfort and space for 4 adults. When entertaining visiting clients from overseas this Mazda CX7 will swallow up luggage with ease when picking them up from the airport and also when the need arises to take them for a round of golf. With a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine mated to a silky 6-speed automatic transmission, this engine pumps out a generous 245bhp together with an impressive 350Nm, Step inside the cabin and you’ll find that a lot of emphasis has been placed on the driver inline with Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom concept. Excellent ergonomics, supportive seats, and great visibility help to mask the fact that you’re driving an SUV instead of a sports car. The dashboard is stylishly crafted and comes with a Japanese audio system, GPS, and even a television with controls that are straightforward to use. There is also a Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC), which is an adaptive cruise control using a forward firing radar sensor to measure your distance and speed from objects, stationary or otherwise. Located in front of the vehicle, it adjusts your cruising speed accordingly. What this means is that once you set your desired cruise speed and following distance, the only thing left to do is to steer as the car will accelerate and brake independently to maintain your speed. In the event that the vehicle in front of you slows to a halt, the MRCC will increase braking power while audibly alerting you. This stylish package can be your from just RM248,999. Now what about a Mazda for mum?

For the working mum, there can be no better vehicle than a MPV that not only looks stylish but also performs all the motherly tasks that working mothers try and cram in their hectic daily routines. Here the latest Mazda8 MPV comes to the rescue with its class leading looks and comfort. Priced from RM198,999 it has easy entry and exit making this Mazda8 popular with the fairer sex. Even more when its interior is capable of swallowing all the groceries at the hypermarket. Its rear twin sliding doors can be remotely controlled by the driver and is electric. A low loading sill allows for heavy items to be easily loaded on and off the rear even with the 3rd row in place. It also features a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine found in the CX7 that dad is driving. This means good performance even when fully loaded with the whole extended family on a visit from out of town. It also never looks out of place when mum uses it for meeting her clients and taking her ‘girlfriends’ for a high tea fashion show at a top hotel in the city.

We know that every young person wants a stylish desirable sports car. Brands like Ferrari and Porsche are always first to come to mind but not every one can afford to buy let alone maintain one of these high-end sports cars. So what about a car for their only son who has just returned from studying in Europe? For his new high paying job he will need a car that is not only stylish, but also fast, well built, handles like a dream and costs a fraction to own and maintain. Even better is its resale value.

Now in its 3rd generation, the latest MX5 from Mazda sticks to its original philosophy of being a fun car with performance elements thrown in for added value.
