Episode 445: 2026 Mazda 3 Sedan, 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Manual

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast arrives this week with a thorough examination of how Benjamin tries to escape the swirling mess of constant bad news by moving some rocks around. Well, actually the show really hits its stride with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Mazda3 sedan. A surprisingly peppy compact with a design that causes some disagreement between our hosts, the Mazda3 has several positives elements as well as a few red flags. For anyone contemplating a compact car purchase in 2026, this review is a must-hear. Then Sami chimes in with his review of the 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. Armed with a six-speed manual transmission and little else, Sami wonders aloud, whats the big deal with the Taco? He discusses its impressive fuel economy, and its unimpressive stick-shift but comes to a lukewarm conclusion. Finally our hosts tackle a listener question about the Audi five-cylinder turbocharged engine. Thanks for listening!
