The Northwest Automotive Press Association held their annual “Mudfest” event just last month, where a number of vehicles endured two days of rigorous evaluations as a part of the organization’s Activity Vehicle of the Year competition. The 2016 Mazda CX-3 was just one of the many crossovers put through both on-road and off-road testing, but it was the only one to be named “Best Compact Utility Vehicle” and “Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year.”

On April 22, 2016, the one-millionth Mazda MX-5 Miata officially rolled off the assembly line. It took 27 years for the Japanese automaker to reach this incredible achievement, cementing the Mazda MX-5 Miata as one of the greatest Mazda models to ever land on the market.
