To boldly go... test drive the 2014 Mazda6 after you go see "Star Trek Into Darkness"

For more than 40 years, the vision begun by Gene Rodenberry has waxed and waned and waxed again, at least three or four times, while always holding true to the Star Trek foundations of breaking cultural molds and technological boundaries. That’s why Mazda and the new 2014 Mazda6 have joined up with “Star Trek Into Darkness”, the new JJ Abrams directed vision of the young Kirk, Spock, Scotty, and Enterprise crew, in the second of what may well turn out to be a trio of Star Trek films from Abrams .

The reimagining of Star Trek by Abrams is the perfect companion to the reimagining of the 2014 Mazda6 because both offer a fun ride… one at break-neck speeds, careening across the big screen, and the other, more sensibly following the speed limit and traffic laws, but with uncompromised performance and fuel efficiency with its SkyActiv Technology delivering the driving fun other sedans have only heard stories about! See the Star Trek themed Mazda6 ad here.

The new 2014 Mazda6 and its SkyActiv Technology give you up to an EPA estimated 38 MPG HWY, in a ride that looks great, feels great to drive, and won’t set you back a pile of dilithium crystals… the new 6 has an MSRP starting at under $21,000!

If you are going to check out “Star Trek Into Darkness”, have a great time at the show, and when it’s over, swing by Ricart Mazda in The Ricart Megamall and take the 2014 Mazda6 for a spin around the galaxy, err, test track. Save us the aisle seat, Ricart Mazda will save you the driver’s seat!

  The thermometer is bouncing up and down like a basketball on The March Madness hard wood , the Arnold Fitness Classic has come and gone, the award show season is done, and the count to baseball’s opening day is just around the bend. What do all these mean? It’s time for The Columbus Auto Show, when auto manufacturers tout their current wares, and offer a glimpse at what they have in store for us, or at least what they may have coming down the road. And this year, every single new Mazda you see at the Columbus Auto Show is from Ricart Mazda in The Ricart Megamall! That means you can get the exact new Mazda3, or redesigned Mazda6, CX5, Miata, or whatever Mazda you see at the Greater Columbus Convention Center this year at Ricart Mazda!

This year’s Columbus Auto Show runs March 14th through the 71th, and in addition to exhibits and presentations that fill a motor-head’s dreams, and the thoughts of somewhat less possessed car lovers, Dialed Action Sports BMX Team will have multiple shows each day, The Columbus Zoo will have some animals to check out Saturday and Sunday, Matt The Balloon Guy will be at The Show Sunday, so there’s things for the whole family to do!

The Columbus Auto Show hours are Noon to 9:00 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Saturday 10 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. And if you see a new Mazda you really want to drive, Ricart Mazda will be open 10 to 8 Thursday and Friday, 9 to 8 Saturday, and Noon to 6 Sunday! That makes it easy to take a spin in the new CX9, Mazda5, or any Mazda you saw at The Show on our six acre test track, on the road, or both! Oh, and take advantage of the $300 Mazda Auto Show Bonus thru the end of March!

Enjoy this year’s show, and we’ll see you at The Ricart Megamall soon!

Those who know value of money love the 2009 Mazda 6.

There’s more and more buzz in the air about the arrival of the new, 2009 Mazda6 at Ricart Mazda, and this time it’s from the accounting office. (You’ll see, just go with it.)

You probably already know a bit about the new 6, with its improved size, power, performance, and quality… and as a result, an even higher value than the first gen. Mazda 6, and that’s saying a whole lot! I’m also sure you have read at least some of the reviews about the redesigned 2009 Mazda 6, so you know the critics have fallen in love it as much as critics can, and we are pretty sure you will fall in love too!!

What you may have yet to hear is the new Mazda 6 is now class leader in leg room- both front and back, cargo volume, turning diameter, V6 engine, and rear hip room. Combine all that with class unique features like the Blind Spot Monitoring System, Bluetooth Streaming Audio, rain-sensing wipers, Bose 10 speaker surround sound system and more, all in a sedan with an average MSRP of nearly $1,000 less than Accord, about $700 less than Altima, and considerably less than Camry too!! That’s why the folks in accounting are all excited… they love value just like you do!

Hmmm… you get more for each dollar you spend, and spend less over-all for the redesigned Mazda 6… You really need to get to Ricart Mazda in the Ricart Megmall to take the 2009 Mazda 6 for a spin. Whether it’s on our test track, or on area streets and highways, when you test drive the new 6, you will experience the next level of Zoom-Zoom. Just point your toe and go!

The all new, redsigned Mazda6 is here... and I want one now!

The twenty-four month lease on my 2007 Mazda6i Value has less than a year to go, and I really, really hope time flies, because I just had the chance to drive the new, redesigned 2009 Mazda6… and I want one bad!!!

Don’t get me wrong, I still love the ’07! It’s been a lot of fun to drive, the fuel injected 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder engine has given performance and economy, the design has given my family plenty of room, and my old 6 is easy on the eyes and always has been. It’s the perfect car… at least it was until I drove the 2009. Hey, there’s no need to take my word for it (although I think you should because I am an Eagle Scout, and my mom will vouch for me!), check out what a couple of sites had to say about the redesigned, 2009 Mazda6:

When the all-new 2009 Mazda6 was driven in a side by side test against in-class cars like Camry and Accord, Autoblog said, "Our seat-of-the-pants impression was that the all-new Mazda6 was undeniably the most enjoyable of the bunch to drive!!"

Being a second gen car, the all-new 2009 Mazda6 ups the ante with more Zoom-Zoom. PopularMechanics.com says, "Where the 2.5 liter four feels pretty peppy out on the road, the 272-hp V-6 is downright intoxicating!"

As if that’s not enough to pique your interest, if you could have seen the slack-jawed stares of the staff at Ricart Mazda in The Megamall when the first 2009 Mazda6 was backed down the ramp of the car-hauler, you’d probably already be at Ricart picking out your new 6 now! And that’s the dilemma I am in. Sure it’s a really good dilemma, having a great Mazda 6 in the driveway but wanting an even better, redesigned Mazda6.

That’s cool. I can be patient, at least for a little while.
