Mazda 3 e-SkyActiv-X review: the world's most underrated family

e-SkyActiv-X, eh? What a mess.Not the most elegant badging ever applied to an engine, is it? Pity, because the car that’s wearing it – in this case the lightly revised Mazda 3 hatchback – is a very pretty bit of kit. Family hatchbacks usually fall somewhere between ‘inoffensive’ (think VW Golf, Merc A-Class, Kia Ceed) and ‘downright ugly’. Yep, looking at you, BMW 1 Series and Ford Focus. Eww.
Handsome, heroically efficient, nice to drive – this Mazda is now the thinking-person’s Golf
