• Mazda CX-7 reviews

  1 review available (2007 - 2009) | Used price: from £10.595

  

  The Mazda CX-7 is a family-friendly, road-oriented crossover with a torque-on-demand part-time four-wheel-drive system; it's not a serious off-roader, but it is spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. Though only thirsty petrol models were offered at first, a diesel version is now available. The CX-7 is still quite obscure, however: should it be better-known? Read on for the full Which? verdict. 

• Mazda 5 reviews

  2 reviews available (2005 - 2010) | Used price: from £4.775

  

  The Mazda5, a compact MPV which seats up to seven people, was updated in late 2010. It's a good family all-rounder, though the rearmost seats are really only suitable for children; the diesel engine has proved more reliable so far than the petrols, though suspension faults have also been too common. The latest model is good-looking, though there's limited choice; find out more in the full Which? reviews. 

• Mazda 3 reviews

  2 reviews available (2004 - 2011) | Used price: from £3.125

  

  The Mazda3 was a clear table-topper in its class in our 2010 reliability survey, and it has consistently been a strong performer on all counts since its original launch in 2004. A competent all-rounder which is fun to drive, comfy to ride in and practical to use, it's competitively-priced, as well; the diesel engines are a better bet than the petrols, though.

• Mazda RX-8 reviews

  1 review available (2003 - 2010) | Used price: from £3.950

  

  The Mazda RX-8 is unique on several counts: firstly, it has a rotary engine, in which spinning rotors take the place of pumping pistons, and secondly, it has an unusual four-door body layout which does not detract from its sports car shape and purposeful stance. Disappointing reliability and a high tax burden have slowed its sales in recent years, but is the RX-8 still worth a look? Which? has a detailed review and verdict. 

• Mazda 2 reviews

  2 reviews available (2003 - 2011) | Used price: from £2.395

  

  The Mazda2 is a sister model to the Ford Fiesta, and shares the Ford's virtues: it's fun to drive, easy to own and reasonably economical and practical. It's also quite striking-looking, especially since its minor facelift at the end of 2010, and it makes an attractive alternative to a mainstream European supermini. The 2003-2007 range is now an affordable used buy, too. Read on for the full Which? verdict. 

• Mazda 6 reviews

  3 reviews available (2002 - 2010) | Used price: from £2.295

  

  The Mazda6 is an impressively accomplished all-rounder and one of the best cars to drive in this class, especially in diesel form. Choose from four-door saloon, five-door hatchback and estate bodystyles, but whichever version you pick, it's good value for money. Get the full lowdown in the Which? reviews. 

• Mazda MPV reviews

  1 review available (1999 - 2004) | Used price: from £2.275

  

  The Mazda MPV is exactly as its name suggests: a people-carrier, capable of carrying up to seven, with a high roof, plenty of legroom and decent loadspace. Sold between 1999-2004, it has long been superceded by Mazda's more stylish Mazda5 and CX-7 crossover, but there are enough around secondhand to suggest it as a decent budget buy.

• Mazda MX-5 reviews

  2 reviews available (1998 - 2011) | Used price: from £2.395

  

  The roadster revival started at Mazda, when the first MX-5 made its debut way back in 1990. A lightweight rear-wheel-drive two-seater, the MX-5 has been one of the most popular sports cars of the last two decades, and it's also been a consistently strong performer in Which? owner surveys. It lost its pop-up headlights in 1998 when the Mk2 range was launched. The MX-5 evolved further with the current Mk3 in 2005, and a year later it was joined by the Roadster Coupe with its useful folding hard-top roof. But does the MX-5 still have what it takes?
