Some crossovers age gracefully. The 2021 Mazda CX-3 Neo Sport is one of them -- low-key on the outside, quietly impressive once you're behind the wheel.

The SKYACTIV 2.0-litre engine punches above its size: responsive, fuel-sipping, and smooth through the SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission. Around town or on a long run, it simply gets out of the way and lets you drive.

Neo Sport trim brings a sportier edge -- a more aggressive front fascia, 18-inch alloys, and a cabin that feels tighter and more driver-focused than the base grades. Mazda's interior quality here is a cut above what you'd expect at this price point.

At 72,000 km and barely three years old, this CX-3 is well into its prime. The 2.0-litre SKYACTIV engines are known for their durability, and the mechanical simplicity of a front-wheel drive layout means fewer things to worry about long term.

Compliance April 2021. VIN JM0DK2W7A01657333. Clean, white exterior -- the kind of colour that photographs well and stays looking sharp with a simple wash.

At $22,000, it's the kind of car that makes a lot of practical sense -- affordable entry into a premium feel, without the premium running costs of the bigger models it shares a showroom with.

Somewhere out there, a Mazda engineer is very quietly proud of this car. We think they should be.
