2024 Mazda 3 G20 Touring review
The Mazda 3 is a premium-looking sedan inside and out, but the driving experience isn't quite as upscale as its looks suggest.

2024 Mazda 3 G20 Evolve review
The Mazda 3 is still fun to drive and beautifully finished. Its base petrol engine isn't all that quick or efficient, but it's still solid.

With distinctive styling and a luxurious interior, the Mazda 3 has plenty of showroom appeal but it's not as accommodating as it could be.

2021 Mazda 3 review
Now that the ‘new’ Mazda 3 has become more familiar with time, does its forward-thinking and upmarket spin still impress against the ever-changing small car landscape?
