'Super Little Model'
What a 'Super Little Model' the new Mazda2 is, with a fantastic body shape available in both 3 and 5 door models that is funky, stylish and sporty.
The Neo, Maxx or Genki will get you to your destination in style and comfort, with controls and switches within easy reach and new safety features that provide piece of mind.
A light weight body, nimble and sharp handling performance and with a fuel efficient 1.5 litre engine, the new Mazda2 is a fantastic way to experience Zoom-Zoom.
Are you inspired by stylish design?
Excited by the promise of a spirited drive? Feel assured by superior craftsmanship and insightful engineering? You can have all this and more in a new Mazda3. Available in Hatch or Sedan petrol and diesel options, the New Gen Mazda3 is everything you unexpected and more of that special feeling we call Zoom-Zoom.
Available in a number of trim levels including: Neo, Maxx, Maxx Sport and SP25 including a Luxury Model.
Enhanced styling is only the beginning. Re-designed front and rear bumpers accentuate the evocative styling of the Mazda3 and newly designed alloy wheels combine with a fresh colour palette for an excitingly stylish new look.
Performance you can feel. The 2.0L engine in Neo, Maxx and Maxx Sport gains an electronic throttle and Sequential Valve Timing (S-VT), for enhanced power, responsiveness and improved fuel economy or the new 2.0L diesel engine. The 2.5L engine in the SP25 also benefits from an electronic throttle and is now mated to two new transmissions; either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed Activematic with paddle shift control for spirited driving and improved fuel economy.
Equipment levels are given a boost. Cruise control is now standard on Maxx and above while the Mazda3's audio system now features an auxiliary input (3.5mm stereo) in the centre armrest console along with an additional 12V power outlet so you can plug in your MP3 player for enhanced aural clarity.
Safety is always a top priority. And now all new Mazda3's feature ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) as standard. Innovative new safety technologies are also available across the range with Dynamic Stability Control available as part of the optional Safety Pack on Neo, as a stand alone option on Maxx, Maxx Sport and SP25 and standard on SP25 Luxury Pack.

Orange County CA Auto Repair Shops May Prosper from GM and Chrysler Woes
Orange County, California is one of the counties that face the recent bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler including the decision to close many of the dealerships. This decision will stop a major source of tax revenue that could be used towards many city wide projects within Orange County as well as other areas around the entire United States. Not every business is unhappy about this decision and some may even prosper from the bad notes deployed from both Chrysler and GM distributors.
Automobile repair shops will begin to notice an increase in workload within the next few months as well as some newer customers that will schedule regular maintenance with the shops as GM and Chrysler dealerships close. This is due to the fact that most of these vehicle owners will not have the coverage outlined in many of the contracts and warranties offered to the customers while the dealership was opened.
This also means that regular maintenance and other vehicular problems will now be funneled into repair shops around Orange County. This is even more true as dealerships struggle to sell their vehicles at low prices in an attempt to lose as little as possible when they are shutting down.
Repair shops may not notice a large increase for some time, but they will experience customers who have purchased vehicles in the past but only now need repairs when their vehicles are no longer covered by dealership warranty.
Older vehicles may need specialized parts replaced and services done as well. All of this extra work means a steady stream of work for auto repair shops in the future. This outlines profit for many of these auto shops around Orange County.
For the moment the aftermath of the fall of GM and Chrysler distribution and exclusiveness of their distributing partners and dealers seems negative and unclear for the future. The process actually increases work for auto shops as well as makes a vehicle much more affordable when it is properly maintained before any major work is absolutely necessary.
Repair shops may have to increase their work force to be able to cover the large waves of vehicle maintenance and repairs within the next few years. GM and Chrysler owners may actually benefit, however, since auto repair at dealerships typically cost a premium while other car repair shops are relatively inexpensive.

GPS is More Than Directions
The GPS is a great system to help you travel in areas that has weather situations that could be difficult or dangerous. Even though you might be able to get the weather report from your local weather band the GPS can help you on more than just giving you storm warnings by telling you the road conditions. You need to know road conditions before you select the right highway to go where you need to go. Often the traveler might be taking a road that has mud slides or snow blocks and it is necessary to choose an alternate route that is why it is important to have a GPS tracker with you while you are traveling.
The weather does not always have to be bad snow storms or mud slides sometimes a rainy day with a slick road can be hazardous or perhaps a traffic tie up because of a previous accident can cause the traveler delay. The GPS can save you valuable time when traveling. The GPS can also help to save your life and prevent you from getting onto a highway that has problems due to traffic or road conditions. Many travelers prefer knowing in advance if they are going to have to sit and wait in a long line of traffic to enable them to select an alternate route. This is great to help you save on gasoline as it is cheaper to select an alternate route rather than sit in a line of traffic burning fuel needlessly.
In today's market, you're going to find that the GPS Is going to do a lot more than just give you directions. If you subscribe to some of the higher up plans on most systems, you can get up to date traffic reports, the weather in the area you're currently in, as well as prices of gas in your area. All of these features are awesome, and I highly recommend it to those that drive a lot.
If you find yourself not driving a lot, especially in areas that you don't know that well, you will probably find that you won't want to subscribe to all of these features, since you will already know the area pretty well. I would make it a point to just buy a simple GPS that just gets you around via directions.
With so many features, you're probably wondering which ones you should look at, and which ones you shouldn't look at. I would advise that you look into options only if you find yourself travelling throughout the country a lot. If you're in unfamiliar areas, and you don't know where a lot of the traffic is, you're going to be fine. With so many options on all of the GPS, just take a look at what they do, and just think to yourself if you can use them or not. Usually by reading the options and the description, you'll know if you'll want to pay that extra monthly fee. Some are well worth it, while others may not be at all.
