Mazda MX-5 RF GT- Fun isn’t dead 35 years ago, in 1989, the Mazda MX-5 was introduced to the world at the Chicago Auto Show. A front engined, rear wheel drive open top, at an afforable price had enthusiasts queuing up and all this time later, while the price has
As a young Ford salesman and then manager in the late 70’s through the 1980’s, 90’s and noughties I was quietly jealous of Ford supplier, Mazda. We had Laser, they had Mazda 323 We had Telstar, they had Mazda 626. Always that little bit better than our Fords. Ours were
My favourite online review site is Throttle House. And Throttle House has a relatively unknown Youtube site called Throttle House Extra. Thomas and James were invited to the press launch of the stunning new Mazda Cx-90 SUV, which we’ll get here in Australia maybe mid-late 2023 There’s not much I
Limited-edition 100th Anniversary model headlines segment-leading Mazda CX-3 updates for 2021 There’s one thing that most manufacturers do very well and that is to slip a ‘limited edition’ into their lineup from time to time. Too many and it denigrates the brand, a limited few helps to lift the brand
Ai Captain – we’re locked and loaded in the new Mazda CX-9 Azami Le – Ai. It may seem extraordinarily expensive for ‘regular’ SUV buyers, but those European wannabes should look closely at this new 2021 Mazda CX-9 Azami LE when it arrives in early 2021. Quite simply it has
Mazda Australia confirms MX-30 mild hybrid and electric models for 2021 arrival Don’t be confused. We currently have a MX-5, CX-30 and CX-5 and many other nomenclatures besides. And now Mazda are introducing (in 2021) an all new design, the Mazda MX-30. I’m a big fan of the Mazda brand.
Arguably by the time you read this, Mazda will have launched their first Hybrid vehicle into the Australian market. Mazda Skyactiv-X Hybrid will be on sale in Mazda’s Australian dealerships on August 1st, followed by the Mazda CX-30 Hybrid a month later. Mazda’s Hybrid offering joins Toyota, Mitsubishi and Subaru
Arguably the most anticipated launch this year is the all-new Mazda BT-50. Designed in concert with Isuzu and built in Thailand, Mazda owners will gravitate to the brand rather than any other. Mazda’s sense of customer responsiveness will be enhanced by the reputation of the bones of this new ute.
Jointly developed with Polyphony Digital Inc., the vehicle will be available for download in Gran Turismo Sport from 3pm (JST) on May 22, 20201. The RX-Vision GT3 Concept is our newest virtual race car in Sony Interactive Entertainment’s PlayStation®4 driving simulation title, Gran Turismo Sport, and we hope that all
Ok, so there have been a plethora of new and updated models launched in 2019 and awards for cars are becoming commonplace. Wheels have just announced their COTY – Mercedes-Benz EQC, which is really a refreshed Mercedes-Benz GLC with an electric motor. SO reflecting on these awards, it was necessary
Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!
I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.
I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.
thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .
And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.
So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
