“The past three years with my MX-5 have been spent on countless trips through the Arizona deserts and cruising along the coast of California. A reliable drive that keeps it fun. I look forward to more adventures with this car over many years to come.”

Aaron Nuanez, MX-5, USA

“The car has come a long way since I took the keys as my own five years ago, and it’s becoming the FD I’ve always wanted. I’ve made too many modifications to list here and typically the car is lower with its ‘roll’ set-up, but right now is sporting slicks and skinnies.”

Christopher Nolan, RX-7, USA

“When horsepower and tech reign supreme, the Mazda2 is a sleek and simple modern classic. Lightweight construction, adept handling and just the right amount of shove to provide excitement at any speed.”

Josh Chaney, Mazda2, USA

“When I decided to build two Mazda3s, I challenged myself to use the same chassis in building two very different vehicles. The result is one competitive race car (pictured) and one beautiful show car, proving the brand’s capable design and versatility.”

John Shih, Mazda3, Canada

“I had my first-generation US Miata imported for sunny days. The car is naturally aspirated and equipped with ITBs (individual throttle bodies), which suit it perfectly for road trips through the mountains. I have a few Mazdas and I spend most of my free time with them – they play an important role in my life.”

Jean Claudio Flensburg, MX-5, Germany

“I’ve owned my RX-7 for more than seven years. What I like the most about the FD3S is its beautiful shape and the rotary engine that it’s equipped with. The pleasant drive uplifts me every time.”

Yoshiyuki Hamasaki, RX-7, Japan

“I bought my Mazda 323F aged 18 as an ordinary car – but I decided to tune her. Every year we go to a Japanese car festival near my city, and the attention she gets there makes me realise that my work was not in vain.”

Tatiana Dyachkova, 323F, Bulgaria
