Reviews SummaryTiny and impractical, comfortably seating just two people, in need of more power, yet plenty of fun to drive, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 is the Miata of SUVs. It competes against other inexpensive entry-level crossovers ranging from the Buick Encore to the Toyota C-HR, swapping outright utility for stylish good looks and rousing dynamics. You don’t buy a Mazda CX-3 for off-roading capability or spending sprees at the local IKEA. You buy it because it looks terrific and is a joy to pilot, putting a smile on your face whether you’re commuting, running errands, or heading out for a drive just because. | |
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. | |
