From

The Skoda Octavia RS has been a vital player in the brand's range in Australia for years now, and this new version is smarter, sharper and even cleverer than the last one. With a liftback sedan or wagon to choose from, and still with a punchy petrol turbo engine, is this the best alternative to a Subaru WRX on the market right now?

8.5/10

Now half a decade old, the current Mazda 3 range has not only aged well, but has undergone a consistent stream of improvements to help keep the Japanese small car stalwart fresh. Key changes for 2024 include updated multimedia and functionality upgrades, but the real story is just how competitive ‑ as well as premium ‑ the higher‑end grades like the G25 Evolve SP feel. Premium sums it up nicely.
