After all you have seen, read, and heard about hybrid cars, are you truly ready to buy your new hybrid car? Have a look at this quick FAQ to help you understand the essentials in getting your very own hybrid car:

Even hybrids are not created equal. In the city, the Honda Civic Hybrid can achieve a fuel economy of 49 miles per gallon, while the Chevy Malibu Hybrid can only achieve 24 miles per gallon. That’s a fairly big difference, especially because the Malibu Hybrid, which costs $22,790 MSRP, is actually more expensive than the Civic Hybrid, which costs $22,600. So which one is better suited for you is the real question when buying one of these hybrids.

Hybrids cost more than conventional cars. Most hybrids cost about $20,000 and above, so considering a new vehicle when you only have about $18,000 would mean it probably wouldn’t be a hybrid– unless you find a real bargain. But normally, you would need at least $3,000-6,000 more than the conventional models if you wanted to purchase a hybrid. There is also a lot more you actually have to pay for when it comes to purchasing a hybrid vehicle, including optional items such as paint and upholstery pro-tectants, and warranties, which can really cost thousands more in dollars once you have added in everything you want for your new hybrid car.

Gas expenditure will be reduced. The good news is that hybrids use only half the amount of gas that conventional vehicles do use, because of its two sources of power—gas and electricity. Hence there is less need to refuel, which translates to savings on gas in the long run.

Hybrid cars are environment-friendly. With all the alarm due to the greenhouse effect of burning gasoline, hybrids are a welcome development, because they can reduce that greenhouse effect in this planet we live in. Do you believe that a hybrid car can have up to 90% less emissions than the conventional car? This results in less smog, as well as damage to the ozone layer, and ultimately, your health.

Hybrid cars allow for tax and other benefits. Hybrid cars are allowed to park at parking meters and parking meters without fees, drive in Toll lanes for free, or qualify for credits in tax. But you can get benefits for up to $3,400 only, so watch when your vehicle hits the 6,000 purchases, and you can no longer get credits.

You need some time to get used to your hybrid car. You’ll not just get a pleasant surprise when you realize the savings from your fuel consumption… you’ll also find that your engine automatically shuts off, then starts again at red lights… and even the oh, so quiet engine allows you to listen to your favorite music without needing to increase its volume.

Hybrid cars, aside from the usual features and benefits from other cars, come with the perks for you, your neighbors, and our planet earth.

Any aftermarket parts need ads for them to be recognized and purchased by the public.

In the case of Mazda, it is definitely making a good work in the aftermarket industry. Their cars and parts are further made better through the effectiveness of their seemingly never-ending advertising gimmick.

They make product campaigns that have persuaded the public a lot. They have come to define the performance elegance, the corporate philosophy, the very heart and soul of Mazda style, engineering and design – things which a good advertisement must convey. In effect, their customers interpret their products as never nor ugly or boring.

The company’s success in ads and sales are primarily because of their products such as the entry-level Mazda3, which was second to the Honda Civic in Canadian sales; the Mazda6, fashionable in whatever configuration, from wagon to hatchback to sedan; the MX-5 Miata that is always evolving and perennially; the RX-8 four-seater sports car rotary-powered and still one-of-a-kind in the industry; the ever stylish Mazda5, which is very practical for family use; the CX-7 and CX-9, which recently debuted and two of the best-looking crossovers in the market; and future products such as the Hakaze, the Nagare and the Ryuga concepts.

The whole “zoom, zoom” concept, according to Mazda is an accent on peculiar design, functionality and, especially, handling and driving performance. And for the company, the Mazda Speed division spells out that spirit.

Formed in 1983, Mazda Speed is the performance wing of the company. A Mazda Speed entry gave Mazda the first and only overall Le Mans victory by a Japanese automaker in 1999. The following year, the FIA changed the rules. It banned rotary engines. So in 1993, Mazda Speed started paying more attention to its aftermarket accessories. In 2002, they started to produce special edition performance versions of existing models in the market.

Mazda invited Canadian some automotive journalists just recently to the Dunnville Autodrome, which is a race facility in Ontario. This is to further explore the performance edge of the models and accessories of Mazda Speed with the premises “How does a Mazda Speed model perform in comparison to the original stock model?” and “what differences can you make by bolstering a Mazda Speed version even further with more go-fast add-ons and fixes from the Mazda Speed accessory list?”

The model Mazda6 comes with a 212 hp 3.0-litre V6, five -speed manual, and 18-inch alloy wheels. It has a starting price of $28,595, quite ok for its sporty attributes.

On the other hand, the MazadaSpeed6 has a 270 hp, turbo-powered 2.3-liter, 6-speed manual, AWD, Limited Slip, stability control, wider track, lowered ground clearance, bigger brakes, fatter stabilizer bars, Mazda Speed 18-inch alloy wheels. It has a starting price of $35,995.

A modified MazadaSpeed6 has performance accessories with forged aluminum wheels ($2,797), a 2.5-inch diameter powdered aluminum cold air intake ($416) and a sport spring kit ($383).

The Mazda Speed models may come with a complete package of performance improvement and the additional tweaks and applications can still make a notable difference in power, ride and handling.

Through the Mazda Speed accessories, the white marble Mazda MX-5 and other stock vehicles can now be improved to achieve higher level of performance. The additions of cold air intake, Mazda exhaust system that is sporty and a sport spring kit were improved by the cosmetic and airflow enhancements of a rear spoiler, front air dam, rear under skirt and side sill extensions.

All these added accessories plus an optional performance package that includes limited slip differential, directional stability control and sport suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers total to $34,195.

Indeed, aftermarket parts are useful to any type of car. They bring enhancements with assured improved performance, comfort, handling and driving experience.
