Mazda gives Japan a few more gadgets


There once was a time when the US got only a small percentage of the really great cars from Japan. Any americans who ever lusted after a Nissan Silva, an R33 Skyline or toyota badged Altezza know what I am talking about.

While things might have gotten better recently, Japanese carmakers can still sometimes withhold some stuff from us.

In Japan. the Mazda3 (or as it is known there, the Axela) is getting what is known as the Navi Edition.

This special edition allows Axela buyers to have some of the options which are usually only available on higher-end models.

This includes a navigation system with an integrated terrestrial TV tuner and rear view monitor.

Of course, a rearview monitor on a compact car with a big back window might be a bit unnecessary I think, but Mazda has added their Adaptive Front Lighting system, something that is nice to have on a car of any size.
