No Fog Lights? No Worries. Mazda Cited for Good Headlights as 5 Models End Up as Top Safety Picks
When Mazda first came out with the all-new Mazda3 and refreshed Mazda6, one of the complaints lashed out on these two vehicles is the lack of front fog lights. Though engineers did manage to tuck the function into the headlights, it still was a concern for those who’re used to seeing additional set of driving lights mounted closer to the ground.

Why the 2020 Mazda3 Deserves Its Title as Women's World Car of the Year
If you happen to ask me what my favorite car brands are, Mazda would definitely be part of the list. With its impeccably clean lines, it’s not difficult to fall in love with it. Add to that their refusal to compromise on the driving experience, and you can bet that Mazda’s “Jinba-ittai” or “horse and rider” as one philosophy will make your everyday commute feel special.

Review: 2020 Mazda3 2.0 Speed Sportback
Mazda says the time for buying a compact car for practicality is now over; that role now goes to crossovers and SUVs which are the new-age family cars. With that, compact cars are all about style, emotion, individualism—things which are innate in the all-new Mazda3. Above all, it’s impressive because of how everything comes together. It’s a cohesive, unified whole—as if designers and engineers were always in sync and in the process, creating a car that’s best described as, “art that you can drive.”

The Mazda3 Owner's Manual Teaches You How to Unlock Jinba-Ittai
For those of us who test drive cars regularly, seeing the owner’s manual is a luxury. Carmakers often remove anything that isn’t bolted down (SD cards, power point covers, owner’s manual) for fear that these little things might end up on eBay or Carousell (yes, there are some journos that do this). Mazda though has trusted us with the owner’s manual for the all-new Mazda3 (full review soon), and this is what we found.

The Mazda3 is Going Racing in Polymetal Goodness
When the all-new Mazda3 came out, Mazda talked about how they spent time making it more refined, comfortable, and all that. Of course, for enthusiasts, they only had one question in mind: when are they going to come up with a go-fast version? While that’s still going to take some time, the introduction of this, the Mazda3 TCR race car puts down a solid foundation that Mazda is, at least, ready to build some fast things once more.

2020 Toyota Corolla Altis vs Mazda3 vs Honda Civic vs Subaru Impreza vs MG 6
Forget crossovers, SUVs, and pickups for a minute—there’s a compact car war brewing resulting in a wider, more competitive range of choices. Starting with the arrival of the refreshed Civic early this year, the battlefield is now joined by two other compact car stalwarts: the 2020 Mazda3 and 2020 Toyota Corolla Altis. All these tables are high-res, so feel free to download them (please, no cropping of the watermark though...we know who does this).

This is How Mazda Made Their Stock Speakers Sound Better than a Bose
Mazda prides itself at the attention to detail they’ve bestowed on the 2020 Mazda3. It’s come to a point where things like wipers and door hinges didn’t escape scrutiny. But one of their proudest achievements in the all-new Mazda3 is how their engineers managed to make the standard 8-speaker sound system sound better than its predecessor’s Bose system.

First Philippine Drive: 2020 Mazda3 2.0 Skyactiv-G
There are two kinds of car enthusiasts in the world. The first is content to sit behind his desk (or phone), happy to debate about numbers—curb weight, power, acceleration; the other simply says, “forget about the numbers,” gets in, buckles up, and drives off with a huge smile on his face. The 2020 Mazda3 is all about the second: it transcends what’s written in black and white; it is simply made to be driven.

We Drove the 2020 Mazda3 1.5 Elite Back-to-Back with the Honda Civic 1.8 E
Mazda isn’t hiding the fact that they think majority of Mazda3 buyers will go straight for the 2.0 Premium models. With that, it comes as no surprise that the entry-level 1.5 Elite doesn’t see as much coverage as its sexier top-trim sibling. But leave it to the guys at Mazda Philippines to bring a base 1.5 Elite sedan along for this road trip; and they even brought some good company: the Honda Civic 1.8 E.
