Mazda Car Reviews & Listings

Japanese automaker Mazda owns a singularly unique segment of the car market-vehicles that offer both affordability and impressive performance. Begun in 1920, Mazda is actually one of the oldest automakers in the world. The original name of the corporation was the Toyo Cork Kogyo Company, which called its first three-wheel truck "Mazda." The name derived from the Zoroastrian god of light and good. Although the company began working on passenger sedans in the 1930s, it stopped production in order to help Japan with its war effort. By the 1960s, Mazda had developed its first passenger vehicle, the R360 coupe. In 1970, Mazda began selling vehicles in the United States.
