    Whatever you’re looking for in a used car, the odds are good you’ll find it in a used Mazda available at Bristol Street Motors. With a history dating back to 1920, the car company has long-since established its reputation for dependable designs at affordable prices. Boasting a long run of impressive looking, high-performance vehicles over the years, it wasn’t easy to narrow down a “best-of” list. Still, with apologies to the turbocharged 323 GTX from the 1980s and its rapid fan base:
    Mazda MX-5: Popularly known as the Mazda Miata, the MX-5 is a lightweight two-seater roadster that has been winning hearts and minds since it first hit the market in 1989. Currently in its third generation, the MX-5 is known for its sporty handling, sleek design, and affordable luxury. Fast, light-weight, and bursting with personality, the MX-5 is one of the most famous cars that Mazda has ever produced for a good reason—it’s a lot of fun to drive.

    Mazda2 or Mazda Demio: A supermini now in its third generation, the 2008 version won the prestigious 2008 World Car of the Year title. The current generation shares the same platform as the award winning Ford Fiesta, but offers a lighter and more nimble driving experience. The Mazda2 comes with a five speed manual or four speed automatic transmission, and offers body styles including four-door saloon, three-door and five-door hatchback.

    MazdaSpeed3: Launched around the same time as the current MX5 and Mazda2, the MazdaSpeed3 has established itself as a go-to for sport-compact lovers. Augmented by sleek-lines and a futuristic exterior, the five-door hatchback has received numerous awards in both its first (2007-2009) and second (2010- ) generations. Excellent balance, a powerful engine and an affordable sticker price on even new models continue to bolster the MazadaSpeed3’s reputation.

    Mazda6: The successor to the ahead-of-its-time 626 model, the Mazda6 was launched in 2002. Featuring a wide range of body and engine configurations in both its first (2002-2006) and second (2007- ) generations, the Mazda6 has repeatedly drawn raves for its handsome design and excellent handling. A third generation, unveiled in August 2012, may have raised the bar even higher—its design was a finalist in the 2013 World Design of the Year awards.

    Mazda Cosmo (Series I and II): While only about 1500 of these cars were ever made, no list of Mazdas could be complete without them. Produced between 1967 and 1972, the Cosmo (or 110S) was a hand-built grand touring coupe that has long-since taken on iconic status. While not the fasted or the most powerful car of its generation, it did introduce the company’s famous two-rotor Wankel engine. Far more importantly, even years after its release, the car still manages to define 60’s cool.

    Whichever Mazda you decide to buy you will be more than happy. Mazda constantly works on improving its technology in order to stay on top of their game and also prove a point to once a partner, now rival Ford. Ford will always remain a threat with the success of their cars such as the Ford Fiesta available at Bristol Street Motors.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
