Reviews SummaryMazda is known for making stylish cars with beautiful interiors, and the Mazda3 is no exception. Whether you’re looking at the sporty little MX-5 Miata or the full-size CX-9 crossover, Mazda interiors make these cars look like they cost a lot more than what you paid. Plenty of features even in the base version and well-priced options let you build exactly the Mazda3 you want at a price you can afford. | |
Reviews SummaryCutting to the chase, I like the Toyota Yaris iA. However, it is important to make a critical distinction between the Yaris iA and a standard Toyota Yaris hatchback. The iA sedan was originally a Scion. When Toyota cancelled that youth-oriented brand after the 2016 model year, it folded the iA sedan into the existing Yaris lineup of 3-door and 5-door hatchbacks, which have nothing in common with the iA sedan aside from a nameplate. While the Yaris hatchbacks offer tempting levels of utility, the Yaris iA sedan is the one you want if you’re shopping for a small and affordable Toyota. That’s because aside from Toyota emblems and a questionably styled face, the iA sedan represents 100% Mazda goodness. | |
