Brand: Mazda

15-132-prime-line-2dr

An enjoyably revvy 130bhp 1.5-litre non-turbo engine that'll suit those who are more interested in cruising or want the cheapest running costs. The 0-62mph time is a reasonably nippy 8.3 seconds yet official economy is in the mid-forties. It’s the pick of the line-up because it’s a fair bit cheaper than the 2.0-litre, and although it's not lightning quick, there’s plenty of fun to be had in driving it hard. Only available with Prime-Line and Exclusive-Line trims.

Sports

Mazda can be summed up in a single word: bold. Not only do its cars generally look like nothing else on the market, but it’s also invested heavily in innovative engine technology.

So, while many car makers have moved to smaller turbocharged engines, Mazda instead offers larger motors that are still efficient. For example, the entry-level petrol option in the Mazda 3 is a 2.0-litre unit –&nbsp;far larger than what you’ll find in most rivals – but it remains very clean.

Highlights of Mazda’s line-up include the MX-5 sports car, which has won our Convertible of the Year Award multiple times, and the CX-5 large SUV, which was named as our inaugural best car for dog owners.

Entry-level Prime-Line has everything you’d need, including the all-important heated seats necessary for driving with the roof down in cold weather. You also get sat-nav as standard, along with cruise control and 16in alloy wheels.

Available with either the 1.5 or 2.0-litre engines, Exclusive-Line offers the best value because you get useful extras such as rear parking sensors, automatic wipers, auto high-beam assist, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and automatic emergency braking. You also get leather trim and an uprated Bose sound system.

If your budget can stretch to it, this 2.0-litre engine ups power to a healthier 181bhp and drops the 0-62mph time down to just 6.5sec. That’s some way off pricier and more potent rivals, yet the engine is a joy to rev out and it's just about fast enough to be exciting. Despite that, it’s still capable of over 40mpg both in official figures and the real world. It’s only available in Exclusive-Line and Homura trims.

20-184-exclusive-line-2dr

This is the range-topping MX-5 that comes exclusively with the larger 2.0-litre engine, and replaces GT-Sport Tech. It differs from the rest of the range because it has 17in BBS alloy wheels, red Brembo brake calipers, and a light stone interior. All those things are nice, but not necessarily worth it over a 2.0-litre Exclusive-Line trim.
