Mazda can be summed up in a single word: bold. Not only do its cars generally look like nothing else on the market, but it’s also invested heavily in innovative engine technology.

So, while many car makers have moved to smaller turbocharged engines, Mazda instead offers larger motors that are still efficient. For example, the entry-level petrol option in the Mazda 3 is a 2.0-litre unit –&nbsp;far larger than what you’ll find in most rivals – but it remains very clean.

Highlights of Mazda’s line-up include the MX-5 sports car, which has won our Convertible of the Year Award multiple times, and the CX-5 large SUV, which was named as our inaugural best car for dog owners.

Mazda metric is driving me crazy Q) I recently bought a secondhand Mazda 6 and am, generally, very satisfied with it. The one thing that's bugging me is the fuel economy display, which gives a figure in litres per 100 kilometres rather than miles per gallon. I'm currently using 8.4 litres per 100km is it possible to convert this to mpg? James Dunn A) It certainly is. Simply divide the number 282.481 by the litres per 100 kilometres figure, which in this case gives 33.6mpg. To convert from miles per gallon to litres per 100 kilometres, just divide 282.481 by the miles per gallon figure.
