Reviews SummaryAlthough prices can rise sharply, the Mazda3 justifies its price tag with excellent driving dynamics and a design that has aged with grace. Verdict: The 2024 Mazda3 delivers luxurious levels of styling and performance despite coming from an automaker that is often cross-shopped against mass-market rivals. Consider this car an entry-level Audi rather than a Toyota competitor. | |
