Over the past few years, Mazda has perfected the sense of "KODO" in its vehicles.  KODO, which translates to "Soul of Motion," is inspired by the natural athleticism, grace, and prowess of animals in the wild, and while you can find it incorporated into vehicles like the Mazda CX-5, you can now also get it from a unique chair from the brand.

As we've mentioned before here on the Tracy Mazda blog, the Mazda6 has won plenty of awards so far this year.  Now it's received another one for its design, and it's such an impressive honor that we just had to share it with our readers in the Stockton, Pleasanton, and Modesto areas.

The trophy case for the 2014 Mazda6 is pretty close to overflowing, and another major award could soon be on its way for this popular sedan.  It's a finalist for the prestigious "World Car Design of the Year" award, and even if it doesn't come away with the title, it's definitely an honor to be nominated.

Here at Tracy Mazda, we were very taken with the 2013 Mazda CX-5 when it first appeared in the greater Stockton and Modesto areas, but we know that the engineers and designers at our favorite automaker are never fully satisfied with a model, no matter how perfect it seems.  This year, we're excited to see the all-new 2014 Mazda CX-5 with even more SKYACTIV power.

The 2013 North American International Auto Show has come and gone, but the awards that were given out will live on. Take, for example, the "Most Earth-Friendly Truck of the Year" award given to Mazda by Earth, Wind, & and Power Media. Specifically, the new Mazda CX-5 was chosen for the award.

When features do you desire in a new automobile? Though technology and safety features may be at the top of your list, it's also a smart idea to consider a vehicle's reliability. In What Car magazine's annual reliability survey of more than 50,000 cars, the British magazine chose the Mazda MX-5 Miata as the most reliable car available to British drivers.

Here at Tracy Mazda we've spoken a lot about the new 2013 Mazda CX-5 crossover, and honestly, it's because we're so impressed by this sleek vehicle! If you haven't read our previous blog posts, perhaps you've seen the CX-5 advertised along with Dr. Suess' The Lorax movie. While we're certainly glad to have the CX-5, we were surprised to hear that it would be replacing one of our favorite current crossover models, the 2012 Mazda CX-7. It seems these vehicles are simply too similar to both be in the brand's line-up, so the…

The new Mazda CX-5 goes on sale this month, and it has a very attractive entry price of $20,695 (not including a destination fee of $795) for the base model. This new Mazda will challenge the likes of the 2012 Ford Escape, Hyundai Tucson, and the 2012 Kia Sportage, and its priced right in the middle of this lineup.

Saying goodbye is never easy. Thankfully, Mazda is helping its costumers bid farewell to the RX-8 with a special-edition Spirit R model. With a total of 1,000 units slated for production from next month until June 2012, Tracy Mazda (located at 2680 Auto Plaza Dr Tracy, CA 95304) expects the Mazda RX-8 special edition Spirit R to go out with a bang.

Mazda lovers can see what really sets the special edition apart with one glance at the exterior. Available with Aluminum Metallic, Sparkling Black Mica, and Crystal White Pear Mica color options and bronze alloy wheels, the new…

The CX-5, a small crossover placed between MAZDA3  and MAZDA CX-7 won't even become production ready until next year - but that hasn't stop this Japanese company from testing a product that will drop into Tracy Mazda located at 2680 Auto Plaza Dr Tracy, CA 95304 for 2013.

"The biggest outflow from the C-car segment (Mazda 3) is into the small crossover segment," said Jim O'Sullivan, President of Mazda North America. "The CX-7 is for some people a little bit too big of a stretch. The CX-5 will not be a niche player." O'Sullivan expects 2013's…
