Ultrashort range. Slow. Outdated infotainment system. Substandard driving dynamics.dislike something so cute? I really wanted to like the electric MX-30, but much like an adorable puppy that pees on your floor, shreds your clothes, and spreads vaccine misinformation online, it just has too many negatives to make it worthwhile.

Not only does it make getting in and out of the rear seats easier—always a concern in a small car with small rear doors—but they look outstanding. Very few cars sincewas on air have come with suicide doors. A black roof and pillars also make the upper part of the car’s metalwork blend in with the windows to keep it from looking too squat.

While automakers such as Ford, Tesla, General Motors, Nissan, and Volkswagen began throwing heaps of effort and cash toward developing electric vehicles at the affordable end of the market, Mazda remained steadfast in eking out every last drop of efficiency from its gasoline motors. But like it or not, the future is here, and it’s electric.
