Unusual in the compact MPV class in its day for offering two sliding rear doors, the Mazda5 is an oft-overlooked alternative in the large family car marketplace.

NCAP Rating 5 / 5

Introduced in 2007, and still on sale new at the time of writing, the Mazda2 is the oft-overlooked supermini from the Japanese firm.

Mazda introduced the RX-8 in 2003 with a Wankel rotary engine and with a pair of supplementary rear-hinged doors to provide access to the back seats.

NCAP Rating 5 / 5

With a platform shared with the venerable Ford Focus, if ever there was a family hatchback you could enjoy driving the Mazda3 is it.

NCAP Rating 4 / 5

A fine alternative choice in the mainstream marketplace the Mazda6 drives well, looks good and comes decently equipped. You could have a Toyota Avensis, Ford Mondeo or Opel Insignia for much the same money, but the 6 is the more distinctive choice, and drives as well as the best of its rivals.
