Mazda

Mazda has a well-earned reputation for cars with precise, sporty handling that are fun to drive while still being comfortable for daily driving. Mazdas also tend to be on the smaller side relative to their class competitors. More recently, as it aspires to be a premium brand, Mazda has become known for high-quality interiors in certain trim levels that seem a cut above mainstream rivals.

While Mazda's signature car is the two-seat MX-5 Miata convertible, a capable and affordable sports car, the automaker has grown its SUV lineup with the subcompact CX-30, compact CX-5 and CX-50, mid-size CX-70 and three-row mid-size CX-90. Mazda also offers the compact Mazda3, available as a sedan or hatchback.

Mazda is based in Hiroshima, Japan.
