Winning.

Not only is it contagious, but it’s also one of the most difficult things to achieve on a continuous basis. Which is what makes Mazda so unique - an automaker that not only attempts to better itself time and time again, and still ends up on top.

Car and Driver recently unveiled its 10Best Awards for 2017, and on the list were none other than the 2017 Mazda3 (Sedan and 5-Door) and Mazda MX-5 Miata (Soft Top and RF).

Masa Moro, president and CEO, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO), said that, “‘Driving Matters’ is a tenet our company believes in, from entry-level employees to our engineers and executives.” Moto added, “It’s more than just a tagline. To us, it means delivering cars that are thrilling to drive - not just because they’re fun, but because they’re pleasing to the eye with KODO - Soul of Motion design, soothing to the soul and elicit an emotional connection because they’re so intuitive.”

For the Mazda3, it marks the fourth win in-a-row, while the MX-5 earned a respectable back-to-back - yet its 10th overall. As a whole, Mazda has earned an amazing 25 10Best Awards - tied for third-most.

Moro went on to say, “We strive to build the kinds of cars and crossovers that simply make owning a Mazda a rewarding experience, and we’re thankful to Car and Driver for recognizing MX-5 and Mazda3 as vehicles that truly make driving a pleasure.”
