Mazda is named after Ahura Mazda, the Iranian-Zoroastrian God of intelligence, wisdom and harmony. Since the company was founded in 1920, it has built a reputation for creating efficient, sporty vehicles that are fun to drive. It's also famous for creating the rotary engine, which uses fewer moving parts than a traditional piston-based engine and features in several Mazda models, including the 1969 Luce R130 coupe.

The Mazda MX-5 Roadster has been listed as the best-selling two-seater car in the Guinness Book of World Records several times. It was also used to make history in 2022, breaking the record for the largest parade of Mazda cars with 707 MX-5s.

There are two types of parking sensors. Ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects, allowing the receiver to calculate how far away they are. Electromagnetic sensors work by creating an electromagnetic field around the vehicle and monitoring it for any disturbances. Both systems allow you to park more quickly and safely and give you greater confidence during difficult manoeuvres.

The most common reasons for parking sensor failure are bad wiring, dirt and debris, and a malfunctioning sensor. A specialist technician can advise you whether you need a parking sensor repair or entirely new parking sensors fitted.

Although some older cars do not come with parking sensors, most makes and models allow them to be installed. You could even install a parking sensor and camera to give you extra awareness of your surroundings.
