When you buy a car, you don’t just own a vehicle. It comes with access to a network of like-minded owners.

Considered a popular crossover SUV, the Mazda CX-5 provides the latest technology to date, all while starting at $24,150. Its premier features make driving easier and better than ever.

Mazda Connect is an infotainment system that keeps your entertainment and vehicle information at your fingertips. The Commander control is conveniently located in the center console and connects to your display so all your needs are safely and centrally compiled right in front of you while driving. 

Over years of development, Mazda has come up with a way to let drivers know how well they are driving. The Mazda engineers spent considerable time and effort producing a system that will grade your work—the work of driving.

Mazda placed the Intelligent Drive Master (i-DM) in the Mazda MX-5 Miata to train the driver into safe driving habits. When you drive, the i-DM considers your use of the accelerator, brake, and steering. The system learns your driving habits. 

When choosing a new SUV to carry your family to your next destination, there are many features to consider. We understand how important it is to travel in style and comfort. That's why we recommend the Mazda CX-9.

The screen also enables occupants to select their favorite music or stay connected with loved ones via Bluetooth. 

When traffic gets bad in Reno, things can get kind of predictable. You'd think that Mazda's design crews must have lived here locally, since many of the design and performance features on the 2018 Mazda CX-5 are made to deal with this issue. Smart city brake support helps to ensure that you stop at just the right distance from other vehicles when traveling at slow speeds.

When it's time to change your vehicle's oil, it's important to choose the right engine oil. Most people have seen numbers like 10W-40 on a bottle of engine oil, but do you know what these numbers mean?

The engine oil numbers are viscosity values. Viscosity is a property that determines how much a fluid resists flow. The number that comes before the 'W' is the oil viscosity at cold temperatures.

If you blow a gasket, it can cause serious problems, such as allowing all of the oil to run out of your engine. This can cause the engine to fail and need replaced.

This does not have to happen. Even though today’s gaskets are made of sturdy materials, they are still exposed to high temperatures high pressures, and will eventually wear out. This problem can be solved by having your…
