2010 Mazdaspeed3
The 2010 Mazdaspeed3 is the hot-rod version of Mazda's fantastic Mazda3 compact. The Mazdaspeed3 features a 263 horsepower turbocharged direct-injected engine, go-faster body trim, and a very attractive price -- just under $24,000. The previous Mazdaspeed3 was one of the best sport-compacts on the market. Can the all-new 2010 Mazdaspeed3 uphold the old car's reputation?

2009 Mazda RX-8 R3 test drive
Hard to believe, but Mazda's RX-8 sports car made its debut in 2003 as a 2004 model, and Mazda has just now gotten around to giving it a mid-cycle refresh. Improvements include updated styling, an improved interior, modified suspension, new performance model... you know, all the usual stuff. So can this six-year-old sportster run still keep up with the big dogs? Read on. 2009 Mazda RX-8 R3: Tested and reviewed by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.

2006 Mazda MPV ES Test Drive
The 2006 Mazda MPV will be the last MPV produced; Mazda is replacing the MPV with the 2006 Mazda 5. (Funny -- the MPV was one of the smallest minivans on the market, and the Mazda 5 is even smaller...) The 2006 Mazda MPV ES is small, light and drives like a car. But the MPV lacks the latest safety features, and its interior lacks flexibility. The 2006 Mazda MPV ES: Test driven and reviewed by Aaron Gold, one of the expert test drivers at About.com Cars.
