Mazda, the plucky Japanese automaker, is known for its quirky rotary engines and sporty, affordable cars. Founded in 1920 in Hiroshima, it’s brought us gems like the RX-7 and the MX-5 Miata, the latter being the world's best-selling two-seat convertible. Mazda’s current lineup emphasizes the 'Zoom-Zoom' driving feel, with SkyActiv technology aiming to squeeze more performance and efficiency out of modest engines. New Mazdas in Australia usually range from about $25,000 for a basic Mazda2 hatch to over $50,000 for premium CX-9 SUVs. Used markets, like Tradingpost or CarShowroom, offer bargains but beware of rotary engine quirks. For the full Mazda saga, official sites and enthusiast forums are your best bet.
