Search News New Mazda sales hit peak Over 9,000 new Mazda cars were sold in September this year, beating the manufacturer's previous record market share of 2.1 per cent for a single month. Highlights for the Far Eastern firm included the sale of 800 new Mazda2s, 1,400 units of the sporty new Mazda RX-8 and 3,400 cheap new Mazda3 models. Car sales in September are traditionally higher than in other months because of the launch of new number plates in August, and Mazda's 9,000-plus sales gave it 2.2 per cent of the entire cheap new car market.
