REDUCE FUEL COSTS WITH MAZDA

For drivers in Brighton looking to save on the cost of fuel but still enjoy a stylish and thrilling drive, Rivervale Mazda recommends choosing a Mazda.

 

"Due to its policy of reducing the weight of new models, through clever design and the use of lightweight ultra-high tensile steels, Mazda has led the way in increasing fuel economy while also improving the safety, refinement and performance of its cars," explains Ben Riley, Sales Manager at Rivervale Mazda. 

 

"For the fuel-conscious car owner who still wants to enjoy exciting driving, a Mazda is a logical choice when purchasing a new car or when trading-in a gas-guzzling vehicle over 10 years old through the scrappage scheme," adds Riley.

 

In the lightweight, streamlined Mazda2, Mazda's weight-reducing strategy translates into an unrivalled, class-best blend of performance and fuel economy. 

 

Mazda2 drivers can benefit from real savings, with fuel economy of up to 68.9mpg, as well as CO₂ emissions as low as 107g/km without compromising on performance.  For example, the Mazda2 1.6 Diesel accelerates to 62mph in 11.4 seconds, yet achieves 67.3 mpg (combined cycle) and has a CO₂ rating of only 112 g/km, qualifying for Band B annual road tax of just £35.

 

With a starting price of £9,295 (on-the-road), or just £7,295 under the scrappage scheme, the entry-level Mazda2 (TS, 3dr, 1.3-litre, 75ps petrol) with air-conditioning as standard, is one of the most price-competitive small cars in the UK.

 

The all-new Mazda3, priced from £13,500 (on the road), boasts a bold shape that has lowered aerodynamic drag to a class-leading Cd 0.28 (saloon) and 0.30 (hatchback).  The improved aerodynamics and retuned powertrains have resulted in significant reductions in both fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions_.

 

In addition, the new Mazda3 2.0 Sport, which is fitted with Mazda's i-stop technology, delivers fuel economy improvements of up to 16 percent (combined cycle) over the previous equivalent model, with CO₂ emissions reduced by up to 19 percent. 

 

"Drivers whose mileage is predominantly city-based can achieve even greater fuel-savings," continues Riley.  "A further benefit is this model's official CO₂ rating (159g/km) crucially falls below the benchmark 160g/km capital allowance tax threshold, thereby enabling companies to maximise corporate tax savings following April's changes to the taxation system.  The car also falls into the 19 percent benefit-in-kind tax bracket in 2009/10, making it a cost-effective choice for fleets and user-chooser company car drivers."

 

"Both the Mazda2 and the all-new Mazda3 ranges are proving very popular with those wishing to reduce fuel costs by trading-in old cars under the scrappage scheme," continues Riley.  "Further cost savings are also available for Mazda3 buyers thanks to an increased Mazda Scrappage Allowance of £2,000, in addition to the £1,000 government contribution."
