Mazda Expert Reviews

In its top-line trim, the Mazda CX-30’s zippy turbocharged engine and classy cabin make it an intriguing alternative to European luxury-brand subcompact SUVs while still undercutting them on price.

In its top 2.5 Turbo Signature trim level, the 2025 Mazda CX-5 is tight, zippy, entertaining and devilishly good-looking — but it suffers from a fatal flaw: a nearly unusable multimedia system.

The 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata stands out for its emphasis on connecting drivers with both the act of driving and the world around them.

Like other Mazda CX-50s, the hybrid version is a sharp-handling, good-looking compact SUV — but the new hybrid powertrain thoroughly ruins the fun in favor of efficiency.

Taken on its own, is the two-row CX-70 any good? And is it worth choosing over a three-row CX-90? We drove it to find out.

The all-new CX-90 has characteristics more typically seen in German luxury SUVs than mainstream models, but it’s these attributes that help elevate its driving experience above the competition.

The all-new Mazda CX-50 is a competent — if uninspiring — compact SUV that does most things well, but it doesn’t do much to push Mazda’s lineup in a new direction.

The 2021 CX-5’s interior (mostly) shines as a near-premium offering, but a fun driving experience and nice leather upholstery can’t make up for its new and incredibly frustrating user interface.

Fun to drive, great to look at and difficult to use, the 2021 Mazda6 is a fantastic car that’s let down by truly awful multimedia controls.

The 2021 Mazda CX-30 is refined in many ways, elevating it to a value alternative to many entry-level luxury SUVs, but it lacks too many commonsense attributes.
