The driving experience is wonderful, but this compact crossover is a little too, er, compact. Mazda has done it again. In a sea of otherwise boring-to-drive cars and fake SUVs, they've come out swinging with a stacked team once again with the CX-30, a compact crossover.
Story and photos by Mitchell Weitzman Don't want to join the (alleged) Tesla cult? Volkswagen's electric car for the people is here. Dieselgate. Ugh, really leaves a bad taste in the mouth, doesn't it. Similar to the taste of, well, diesel. Hey, I've never drunk diesel to know what it tastes like...Only a few short years after that brand-altering and expensive catastrophe, here comes the antithesis of diesel: the all-electric ID.4.

Okay, not always, but this coincidental acronym has gone on to define the MX-5's fanbase the past three decades. Want an affordable sportscar? Miata. Want to go racing? Miata. Economical commuter? Also Miata. Hey, this tester did average over 30 MPG during my time, and that's with some abuse. As cars become more and more advanced and with driver aids, getting back behind the wheel of a nat...
