2024 Mazda 3 Summary

Half a decade on, the current-generation Mazda 3 has weathered a world of change.

Cheap cars have vanished. Electric vehicles are commonplace and the small car class it belongs to has been decimated by SUVs. Big names like the Ford Focus, Holden Astra and Mitsubishi Lancer are history.

But while it looks identical to the car unveiled at the 2018 LA Auto Show, today’s Mazda 3 has also evolved, albeit gently.

Let’s see how competitive the latest and improved (as well as more expensive) version is.

2022 Toyota C-HR Summary

In the now oversaturated mainstream small SUV market, there seems to be one particularly poorly filled niche, the sporty SUV.

While there are world-famous hot hatches with decades of pedigree, it seems only just now are manufacturers exploring the bounds of what consumers are willing to ask from an SUV.

We’ve seen full blown entrants like the Hyundai Kona N, but in its predictably conservative manner, Toyota dips its toes in the hot SUV water with this car, the seemingly lightly-warmed-over C-HR GR Sport.

Not everything is as it seems with the C-HR’s latest variant though. Read on to find out why.
