Why Mazda is the Most Fun-to-Drive Brand
I mean, let’s face it, sure, you need a vehicle to get from point A to point B, drive to work, pick up some groceries, run some errands, take the kids to whatever after-school activity they’re obsessed with at the moment, and on and on. All that is required to get through day-to-day life easily, but… you saw it coming, here’s where the but comes in. But what we all really want out of a vehicle, besides all that pesky life stuff, is just something that looks cool and is fun to drive. Let’s put aside the utility of a vehicle for a few moments, whether you’re a gearhead or not, nothing beats just cruising in a cool, fun-to-drive car, your favourite music on the system, and no cares in the world. Want that reality today, and oh so affordable? Let me prop up a few highlights of Mazda vehicles on why they’re so fun to drive, and will ensure your needed vehicle helps you get your daily tasks done, while looking cool doing it 😎
Diabolical Driving Dynamics
When I said “fun-to-drive,” this is where it’s all born and bred. For Mazda, it’s through Skyactiv technology, prioritizing the seamless connection between human and vehicle, based on an old Japanese concept (more on this later in our style section…). It would stand to reason that all this fun really does start with the engine, the transmission, and the relationship between both. Skyactiv transmissions work to make you feel one with the vehicle, being light and manual transmission-like (whether actually manual or automatic), allowing you to shift gears seamlessly like you’re out on a track. Further, G-Vectoring Control is truly built around on how you “feel” inside the vehicle, based on in-depth study from Mazda engineers, it features less steering righting, which equals less g-forces on those in the interior, meaning you’ll all get less tired from the movement of the vehicle over time, and enjoy the thrills more, without that real-word downside. All of this is captured inside the Skyactive body and chassis of each Mazda, created from lightweight materials, but still built as such to be as rigid and safe as possible, all the while improving stability and handling. Speaking of safety…
Peerless Passenger Protection
Let’s be clear, when I say a Mazda is fun to drive, that’s not to imply that’s their only pro and that fun-ness (is that a word?) means sacrificing for real world utility and safety. Quite the opposite, not only do these Mazda driving dynamic technologies equal a fun drive, but also a utilitarian and safe one. Let’s take i-Activ AWD as an example, the all-wheel drive system found on Mazdas. We all know how living in Canada means a good AWD system on your vehicle is needed, as who knows when a random snowfall may appear, or unexpected terrain ahead. This system works with your acceleration and steering to manage total control on your drive, so you feel safe and in charge, alongside a quick response that reacts in an instant, making you wonder if you’re over snow and ice or somehow transported to clean pavement. Not to get too technical about “fun” (kinda goes against the point), but sometimes we can only have true fun when we feel truly safe and secure. Enter the i-Activesense safety technologies, from Blind Spot Monitoring to Lane Departure Warning to Radar Cruise Control and beyond, know that a Mazda has got your back on the serious safety and control sides of things, so you can relax and have fun on your drive
Sleek & Striking Style
AI this, AI that, no matter what a computer can come up with, there’s absolutely nothing that beats the craft and care that comes from a human’s touch. This is how Mazda, and their Japanese design traditions think of their vehicles as well. As such, with this human construction, Mazda does not believe that said vehicles are just a combination of steel, glass, and plastic, but rather an eventual form that a soul inhabits, just like a human. If you’re wondering why I’m drifting toward philosophy and away from “it’s fun to drive a cool car,” it’s because that awesomeness of driving a Mazda only comes from that particular design care in building them. Japanese Mazda inspiration results in a Human-Machine Interface, making a cockpit that’s not only focused around the driver (like a cockpit), but one that feels comfy, ergonomic and with no wasted movement. This is expanded upon with a premium and spacious feel in the cabin, with luxurious materials, cabin interior and seats sculpted to match your body. Indulge me the next time you’re on a late night cruise in a Mazda through the dark city streets, illuminated by only the street lights, or whipping down the highway on a sunny afternoon, what created that peppy high-performer with a dynamic minimalist form all started with the care and refined design tenets of human engineers, so you could have that care-free fun-to-drive feeling, a true joy as driving a vehicle should always be.
