2007 Mazda 3
November 29th, 2006
The Mazda3 changed the way people thought about compact cars when it was launched as a 2004 model. It became a premium automobile, exciting to drive, styled adventurously, and fully equipped with luxury features.
There’s nothing austere, basic or cheap about it. For 2007, Mazda has upgraded the appearance of its s-model sedan and s-model five-door hatchback with a body-color grille, a redesigned front bumper with square foglights, and a new look for both the 16- and 17-inch, cast-aluminum wheels.
Detail changes also improve interior appearance, and leather is now optional for all s-models, both sedan and five-door hatchback. An auxiliary audio input with 12-volt power outlet is now standard for all models, making them iPod-friendly.

2007 Mazda CX-7
November 13th, 2006
If you spend a few hours behind the wheel of Mazda’s new CX-7 and you might start to wonder. And with good reason, for while the Japanese maker’s Miata and RX-8 are the classic examples of “zoom-zoom” engineering, the CX-7 is likely to make you forget you’re driving a crossover. If you include the Tribute, Mazda has already been playing in the fast-growing crossover segment, a category that is expected to outsell conventional sport-utility vehicles this year.
