Mazda continues to support New Zealand Music
Comments OffFor the third consecutive year, Mazda is getting behind Kiwi music by continuing its support for the 2009 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards and as naming sponsor for the Mazda Best Female Solo Artist category.
“Mazda is a proud supporter of the arts in New Zealand and we are delighted to continue our association with these awards. It’s really fantastic to be part of such a great event and acknowledge our talented recording artists,” said Andrew Clearwater, managing director, Mazda New Zealand. “The competition for Mazda Best Female Solo Artist has been strongly contested over the past couple of years and based on this week’s announcement of the finalists the race for honours in 2009 is going to be no different”
As the official vehicle partner for the music awards, celebrities and artists will be driven from the official pre-awards Departure Party to the glitz and glamour of the red carpet in a fleet of new-generation Mazda vehicles. In addition, Mazda has supplied two new-generation Mazda3 promotional vehicles decked out from head to toe with stunning graphics of this year’s Mazda Best Female Solo Artist nominees – Boh Runga, Ladi 6 and Ladyhawke.
The finalists of the 2009 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards were announced this week at an event in Auckland. The awards will be held on October 8 at Vector Arena, Auckland.

Mazda3 drives Mazda through August
Comments OffMazda New Zealand continued to consolidate its fourth position in the market both in the month of August and year to date with eight per cent market share and 3,659 new vehicles sold.
While the industry is still experiencing challenging times, Mazda is staying ahead of the curve. 150 units of the new generation Mazda3 were sold in August which saw the car take fifth spot for the month in passenger vehicle sales, also extending its position as the fifth top selling model year to date.
“While it’s clear we have a long way to go in these uncertain times, we’re delighted with how the Mazda brand offering is continuing to win favour with buyers. Sales of the new Mazda3 have exceeded our expectations and the new range including the Mazda3 MPS is generating a lot of interest,” said Andrew Clearwater, Managing Director, Mazda New Zealand.
The Mazda6 and Mazda2 also featured in the top 15 selling models for the month taking 8th and 14th places respectively. A significant number of buyers also took up the “Mazda2 for 2” offer where a new Mazda2 can be purchased with a 30% deposit and the balance financed at 2% over three years. This offer will continue until 31 October 2009.

The new Alfa Romeo Mito
Comments OffThe new Alfa Romeo Mito is available now at Andrew Simms Alfa Romeo in Newmarket Auckland book a test drive or come in to view at their Newmarket Dealership or book online at www.andrewsimmseurpean.co.nz
Read about the new Alfa Romeo Mito below
Although Alfa Romeo has had small cars in the past, most famously the Alfa Romeo AlfaSud which started a line of cars that lead to the Alfa Romeo 147 in today’s range, the Alfa Romeo MiTo is significantly different in its positioning from previous models. Not only is it in the market sector below the AlfaSud and today’s 147, but also unlike the AlfaSud, which is was designed to compete mass market, every element of the MiTo places it firmly at the premium prestige end of its market sector.
The fact that the MiTo has been designed to be exclusively a three door car has provided the stylists at Alfa Romeo Centro Stile with the freedom to endow the MiTo with a new level of style, internally and externally, that has not been previously available in this market sector.
Most obviously is the way the MiTo tappers behind the ‘b’ pillar to provide not a just coupe style, but also shoulders over the rear wheels akin to those on the Alfa 8C sports car, that lead the eye to rear lights, which include the first of several class-firsts, the safety of LED rear lights replacing conventional light bulbs.
At the front, the shield-shaped grille is imposingly sited at the end of a sculpted V-shaped bonnet, flanked by clear lens and teardrop headlamps. In profile, the high waistline, flared wheel arches, disguised B-pillar and minimal rear overhang combine to communicate power, performance and agility.
Inside the cabin, the high quality interior feels like a car from a class above, with with additional touches such as its unique carbon fibre-look dashboard. The sporty dials are hooded and the central console comes with a satin finish. Careful soundproofing helps create a quiet and refined environment that optimises the inclusion of a quality sound system and integrated Blue & Me™.
The turbocharged Alfa MiTo delivers an engaging and rewarding driver experience. The turbocharged 1.4 litre 114 kW MiTo Sport delivers the type of power normally associated with a significantly larger engine as it accelerates from 0-100 kmh in 8 seconds, and continues to a top speed of 215 kmh, yet offers a combined fuel figure of just 6.5 litres 100 km.
Alfa Romeo’s innovative DNA system is another first for the class. A three-position switch, situated beside the gearlever, alters the throttle response and steering set-up for different driving environments – Dynamic, Normal and All Weather.
In Dynamic mode, the throttle response is quicker, the steering is sharper and the handling is more direct. For icy and loose surface environments the All Weather mode provides a more gentle response. Alfa Romeo’s Electronic Q2 limited slip differential heads a list of dynamic driver aids, including a long list of safety systems. Together, these all help deliver impressive driving dynamics and handling, along with sure-footed road holding capabilities.
In line with entertaining levels of performance and handling, the Alfa MiTo also boasts high levels of safety.
Designed and developed to achieve the highest possible scores in passive and active safety tests, the Alfa MiTo is one of the safest cars on the road, providing driver and passengers with a high level of protection.
In recognition of its safety credentials, the Alfa MiTo has already collected a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
Driver and occupant safety is paramount, and the specification of seven airbags including front airbags, window bags, sidebags and driver’s kneebag work with Alfa Romeo’s Self Aligning Head Restraint – a system that moves the head restraints closer to the neck of the front seat occupants to lessen the effect of whiplash in the event of an impact – is evidence of Alfa Romeo’s commitment to the highest possible safety standards.
During emergency braking, the Alfa MiTo automatically operates its hazard lights to alert other road users.
Both versions of the MiTo are well equipped with Trip computer, cruise control, aircon, remote locking and boot release, steering wheel audio controls, front armrest with locker, leather steering wheel, VDC with hill holder, front electric windows, DNA and a premium six speaker audio system headlining the standard equipment package.
The Alfa Romeo MiTo is launched in New Zealand in one versions highly equipped, high specification version, the 114 kW MiTo Sport that includes Blue&Me Bluetooth telematics with a USB connection, climate control air conditioning, sports bumpers, spoiler and pedals, rear parking sensors, Brembo Brakes, auto wipers, lights and interior mirror as well as front fog lights as the headlines in its standard equipment list.
The MiTo Sport is priced at $44,990 plus statutory charges and delivery.
