Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Mazda R100 shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Mazda R100 offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Mazda R100 at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Mazda R100? Wrong! If the Mazda R100 is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Mazda R100 then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Mazda R100 and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Mazda R100 wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Mazda R100 then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

{{Infobox Automobile|name=Mazda R100|manufacturer=Mazda|production=1968–1973|body_style=[FR layout coupe|related=[Mazda Familia-->The Mazda R100 used the chassis from the Mazda Familia and the Wankel engine Mazda Wankel engine#0820 engine similar to the one used in the Mazda Cosmo#Series II Series II. It was a 2 door 2+2 coupe and was produced from 1968 to 1973. It was also known as the Familia Presto Rotary and was quite ordinary except for its powerplant. Power was rated at just due to a small carburetor (thus the "R100" name).

United States The R100 was one of the first cars imported into the United States for the new Mazda Motors of America, sold in 1971 and 1972. It was a surprising hit with the American public, though sales were limited to Seattle initially.

==Racing==Following on the success of the Mazda Cosmo at Nürburgring in 1968, Mazda decided to race another rotary car. The Familia Rotary Coupe won its first outing, at the Grand Prix of Singapore, in April, 1969.

Next, the company took on the Gran Turismo endurance challenge at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, the Spa 24 Hours. For 1969 and 1970, Mazda entered a pair of Familia Rotary Coupes. The cars came fifth and sixth the first year after a quartet of Porsche 911s. The next year, four Familias were present, battling with BMW Alpinas, and Alfa Romeos for the podium. This time, three of the Mazdas were retired, with the fourth claiming the fifth position.

The Familia also placed fifth at the Marathon de la Route at Nürburgring in 1969, the same race that the Cosmo had bowed at the previous year. Finally, Mazda took the Familia home for the Suzuka Circuit All-Japan Grand Cup, where it won easily.

For 1970, the Familia placed eighth at the RAC Tourist Trophy in June, fourth at the West German Touring Car race in July, and fifth at Spa, as mentioned above.

Mazda also turned its attention to 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 with rotary-powered prototypes. The company would finally win that race 21 years later with the Mazda 787.
