Mazda has come up with the all-new 2012 Mazda 3 SKYACTIV sedan
equipped with SKYACTIV
technology that achieves fuel economy of EPA estimated 40 mpg on the highway. It
has also a low MSRP tag. The AtlantaMazda 3 SKYACTIV
is an all round package that appeals to everyone like students, for instance, who
can count on it long after graduation; it’s sporty, high-tech and stylish for
the young professional but also very safe and with enough room for small
families. The convenient features in the car are on par with the best
in the industry. We found it is the best front-wheel driven compact sedan in
the market thanks to its production qualities and driver amenities.
Several technologies - including engines, transmissions, and
chassis - have been combined to make the SKYACTIV technology. In the layman’s
terms, it’s a bunch of friction-reducing and energy-saving technologies which
don’t sink to the level of a hybrid drivetrain to deliver amazing performance
and efficiency. Further, the Mazda 3
SKYACTIV features the Mazda’s famed ZOOM-ZOOM technology.
Mazda3
is the core of the Mazda line-up and continues to be the standard by which all
other compact cars are measured, and the new SKYACTIV technology fitted to this
champion car takes it to a whole new level. The SKYACTIV technology embodies
Mazda's philosophy for engineering only vehicles which are fun to drive,
satisfying to own and environmentally responsible. It is equipped with an
all-new SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter gasoline engine, a SKYACTIV-MT manual and automatic
transmission and a comfortable cabin with ultra modern amenities. Just drop

The all new 2013 Mazda
CX 5 is a compact crossover that is brimming with attractive features,
superior performance and safety measures that offer tremendous value for
potential buyers. It is a fun-to-drive vehicle with fuel economy and amenities
that make it stand out from its class. However,
the most appealing feature of the new 2013 Mazda CX-5 is its surplus of
advanced safety features. The vehicle was just named the Top Safety Pick by the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
“The 2013 CX-5 is Mazda’s first production vehicle to receive the full
suite of SKYACTIV
technologies, which focuses not only on fuel efficiency but also on safety and
stability,” said Jim O’Sullivan, President and CEO, Mazda North America. “Earning a ‘Top Safety Pick’ distinction
from the IIHS further exemplifies Mazda’s dedication for creating products that
offer the best of everything that consumers want: fuel economy, performance,
handling and, most importantly, safety.”
The new CX-5 will be equipped with SkyActiv Body and Chassis,
which ensure a rigid body to withstand any kind of impact. It is also the first
vehicle to be produced that utilizes 1,800 MPa ultra-high tensile steel, which
are utilized in the front and rear bumper beams and results in parts that are
20 percent stronger and 10.6 pounds lighter than previous generation bumpers.
The all-new CX-5 SkyActiv powertrain will feature a 2.0-liter direct-injection
engine. Specs aside, the bottom line is
that the 2013 CX-5 combines sportscar styling, performance and interior
features with fuel efficiency and safety that would appeal to any family…
What’s even better is that at Rick Case Mazda, that new CX-5 (or
any other new model) comes with double the manufacturer warranty, with
10-years/100,000-miles of nationwide coverage, plus instant membership in the Rick Case Rewards

Has it ever occurred to you that at the last minute, when you're rushing for an important meeting or an important date, that you discovered your car looks like a hazmat zone? Do you get confused how to give your car an impressive look when you really don’t have time in hand for a complete car wash? Whether your car is new or used, here are 6 priceless tips from a used car salesman that will help you give your car a “curb appeal” – a good first impression to your client or to your girlfriend.
Clean horizontal surfaces with a spray detailer
If you can’t manage to wash your car daily there is nothing to worry about. Cleaning certain parts of the car is enough to give your car an impressive look. The areas that can be an eyesore include the hood, trunk, and rear bumper of the car as these surfaces catch the dew or light rain and leave water marks. Using a spray detailer and a microfiber towel, you can clean these watermarks easily. Experts suggest that you ensure to flip the towel frequently so that you don’t grind dirt into the clear coat.
Clean windshield
A clean windshield not only enhances the visibility of the driver, but also makes your car sparkling like a jewel. Glass is easy to clean and you can wipe away the dirt and grease marks easily with a clean towel. Once you are done with the windshields don’t forget to clean the driver-side window and the side mirror too. And if you have some more time in hand, clean the inside of the windshield and the rearview mirror as well.
Clean the trash
Your car is a car and not a dumpster, so keep it clean and take out the trash. Throw away unnecessary piece of papers, food crumbs, empty bottles etc. You might want to keep a trash bag in your car where you can accumulate all the trashes and empty it regularly.
Shake out the floor mats
If you don’t have time to vacuum clean your floor mats, simply take them off and shake out all the loose debris, food crumbs, dirt, and ketchup packets. This will take less than five minutes to make your car look even better.
Clean the wheels and tires
Experts say, “Having dirty wheels on a clean car is like wearing old shoes with a new suit,” so make a point to clean the wheels and tires as well. If you’re really short on time, just grab a cotton rag and wipe off the flat center section of the rims. And if possible try to clean the spokes as well with the rag. You might even want to use a spray product to shine your wheels.
Clean strategic parts in the interior
Take a microfiber towel and clean anything that you touch or look at. Wipe the dashboard, center console, and glove compartment box for quick touch ups of your interior.
Mazda Minagi soon to hit U.S. shores as the Mazda CX-5
Rumors are everywhere that the Mazda Minagi, unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show, will actually be coming to the U.S. next year as the new Mazda CX-5. What’s so special about it? Plenty, beginning with Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology, a combustion-chamber ratio of 13-to-1 - what the muscle cars of the 60’s and 70’s used to produce exceptional power. The higher engine compression makes for higher power and gas mileage, but until now it required costly premium gas. Mazda’s SKYACTIV has eliminated the wasteful slippage of a traditional torque-converter automatic, as it includes a lock-up feature for all the gears, not just the top gear. The 2-liter, 135-horsepower engine boasts 43 mpg on the highway… but remember, all is still speculation as of now, as Mazda is reluctant to release too much about the coming revelation in its lineup.
“SKYACTIV is a suite of technology that offers a fuel-efficient engine and transmission, aerodynamics meant to reduce drag, and even tires that offer less resistance in an effort to save gas,” said Jeremy Barnes, Mazda’s director of communications and national events. Barnes said the SKYACTIV effort is “all part of the way we will improve our global fuel economy by 30 percent by 2015, as compared to 2009-2010 models.” In all that efficiency, nothing was spared in design. The CX-5 still looks like a sportscar, with an angled front that appears to be in motion even while idle, but with the added hatchback that makes it a competitive crossover, especially when faced with the Nissan Juke at 32 mpg hwy, the Mini Countryman at 35, and the Outlander Sport at 31 mpg hwy.

2010 Mazda RX8 R3 is the Best-Handling Car in America for less than $100,000
Rick Case Mazda, a leading Mazda car dealer in Duluth, Georgia, is pleased to inform that the 2010 Mazda RX8 R3 has been announced the Best-Handling Car in America for less than $100,000.
The RX-8 is slightly more front-heavy than the M3. At Waterford, counting just the cornering sections, the lithe RX-8 astonishingly matched the mighty Bimmer despite having less skidpad grip—the second-lowest in the group, in fact—from its Bridgestone RE050A summer tires. Its above-average body roll garnered not a single complaint because it’s so fluid and linear, communicating to the driver precisely what’s going on, which in turn leads to a feeling of confidence only exceeded by the Porsche and the Lotus.
The RX-8 is easily the best front-engine, rear-drive entrant, serving up a scalpel-like demeanor on both road and track. The steering has an enviable combination of straight-ahead calmness and eager turn-in, and it weights up nicely off-center with linear responses, although some nuances felt in the Lotus and the Porsche are filtered out here. Overall, the RX-8 remains a brilliant, relatively lightweight four-seat chassis in search of class-competitive power and fuel economy.
