The Mazda 2 is an excellent little car - high quality, great dynamics and spacious inside
Mazda 3 lacks character beside the best European rivals but its capable none the less
As ever, the MX-5 is as much fun to own as it is to drive, and the quality is beyond fault
The RX-8 offers fine value and is, in the end, just an enjoyable car to drive in its own right
Mazda's well-built seven-seat MPV is capable and only let down by a slightly firm and noisy ride
Stylish Mondeo rival is fantastic on the road, with its sharp handling and good engine range
Undeniably charming CX-7 drives well and looks great, but having no diesel option is disappointing

The Hakaze was a four-wheel drive crossover concept based on the CX-7
