Reviews SummaryCompact sedans are some of the most affordable vehicles today, which often leads to cheaper interiors, disappointing performance, and uninspired styling. The 2026 Mazda3 bucks that trend with a cabin that could easily be mistaken for entry-level luxury fare, a spirited driving experience, and head-turning style. The current-generation Mazda3 debuted as a 2019 model, but despite its age few updates are expected for 2026. Verdict: The Mazda3 proves that small cars don’t have to be boring. | |
