Living The Mazda Spirit

Buying a car is more than just picking out interiors and how much horsepower it has but more importantly how it makes you feel.  Mazda lives by the motto, “Hashiru Yorokobi” the “exhilaration and liberation felt from being moved.”  They believe that “We exist to make people experience the unique Mazda feeling of exhilaration, joy and wellbeing that will enrich their everyday lives and make them smile.”  Have you ever heard a car manufacturer talk about how you feel in the car except for asking if the seat is positioned correctly?  I certainly have never heard anyone explain how they make cars the way Mazda does.
