The engine revs and pulls well.
There is a small, but growing, movement in the developed countries of the world, towards minimalism and simplicity. The argument goes, roughly, that all our “stuff” starts to weigh us down psychologically and that possession don’t necessarily bring happiness.
Former motoring journalist Jesse Adams sums it up perfectly when he asks: “What’s more satisfying – going fast in a fast car or going fast in a slow car?”As someone who has driven some of the fastest cars on the planet – and who has raced a fair bit – Adams says that the movement towards “slow” – as in “slow food” – is growing in the car sector. It doesn’t mean you have to have a slow car…it means getting back to basics, and authenticity, when you get behind the wheel.
His car has around 140 000km on the car and certainly does not drive like a car which is 29 years old. The engine revs and pulls well – not surprisingly when you pop your head under the bonnet as see the classic twin-cam design with not a speck of oil on it. Adams hasn’t specially cleaned it…that’s just the way with Mazdas because they only start showing their ages with huge mileages under the wheels.
Even though the Mazda is simple, it still has good safety features, including disc brakes all round; IT also has a decent aircon system, which might seem out of place in an open air car, but the South African sun can be merciless and the tops provide shade while the cool air inside is then very welcome.
