Mazda has scored another safety victory in Australia after news that its Mazda3 came out tops in a crash-avoidance safety evaluation test, filtered through. The tests were done by Australia�s Wheels magazine, attending to the country�s 12 best sellers. Mainly aimed at checking out active safety systems, the tests are run to determine the vehicle best equipped to avoid accidents such as emergency braking, a child running on to the street etc. The winning car outperformed rivals Mitsubishi Lancer, Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Holden�s Astra. Moreover it beat the Holden Commodore, Australian legend and oft-sales leader. Mazda6 won this particular contest in 2005.
�Distil down all the WASP results and the Mazda3 Maxx Sport gives you a lot of in-built real-world active safety margin in a comfortable package that's easy on the eyes and wallet,� said Jesse Taylor, Wheels magazine deputy editor.
Mazda3�s successes come in heaps it seems, as the car also led a record month with a 2,825 sales contribution to Mazda�s overall 7,022 total for the month of February 2008. Mazda3 has sold over 121,000 units since its Australian introduction in January 2004.
