JULES:

Far more practical than the too-small Mazda CX-3, this bigger SUV looks beautiful inside and out, is well-equipped and lovely to drive. The engine just needs more personalit­y, and there are good rivals for less money.

If you don’t need an SUV – and I appreciate many with dodgy hips or knees do – get a Mazda3. The same money buys the higher-grade leather-lined G20 Touring hatchback, plus you lose the CX-30’S plastic bits that sully the design a tad. Otherwise, the CX30’s a quality – if pricey – small SUV.
