Mazda 8 Have No Opponent

In theory the presence of Mazda 8 here has no opponent. Somewhat difficult to find points of comparison. Of machine capacity, Mazda 8 slightly different from those rivals. If you want to find a point of price temunya moreover, although equally functional MPV vehicles. Of the price, vehicle manufacturers Hiroshima, Japan is in the premium segment of the MPV in this price range 400-800 million dollars, which the players did very little. If you want to shoot the nose, the real challengernya is Honda odyssey, which in terms of price is much more expensive.

Moreover, the prestige odyssey now slumped after the presence of a large premium MPV like the Toyota Corolla, VW Caravelle and Hyundai H-1.
