Reviews SummaryWith the ubiquitous growth of the small SUV, the compact car segment might get overlooked when shopping for your next vehicle. But small cars can do many of the things that are asked of a small SUV—especially if that car is a hatchback. The 2023 Mazda3 is a stark reminder of just how great hatchbacks can be for everyday life. Mazda’s approach with its vehicles has been simple, yet ambitious: to “deliver luxury-level performance and cabin quality without the luxury price,” according to the company. The Mazda3 is no different. It punches well above its weight and raises the bar for what a small car can be. The Mazda3 hatchback even offers SUV-like versatility thanks to added cargo space and a rear liftgate. But does the Mazda3 have the features and attributes that will have you reconsidering cars over crossovers? | |
Reviews SummaryRange anxiety, the fear of driving an electric car and running out of battery charge, is a real thing. Studies show it’s a top concern among people who are considering an EV. Yet the new 2022 Mazda MX-30 EV provides only about 100 miles of range—much less than its primary competitors, let alone the majority of modern electrics, can offer. What gives? We’ll explain. | |
