This is the second Mazda I have owned. I loved my first one, and this one is even better. Mazda has really been stepping up their game in terms of making an affordable yet really beautiful car. I have family that lives more than six hour drive from me. I go there at least twice a year, sometimes more, plus traveling around just for fun and vacation to places like Florida, Canada, etc. So this car has been put through the rounds. I have never driven such a smooth car. I do not feel bumps or even how fast I am driving, it is just so smooth. I also feel very safe in this car. I normally don't drive when it is raining or snowing (coming from driving in a Sedan). However, I feel this SUV handles the weather better and I don't mind driving if the conditions are not too severe.

I purchased this vehicle because it had a third row. I have two kids and three dogs, so having ample amount of room was very important to me. I wanted a vehicle that had some "get up and go" and could also be efficient and economical with gas. I like that this car has just that. It doesn't break the bank every time I have to fill it up, but it is a six cylinder so it has some speed. This car has a great sound system and a sunroof. Another must have I was looking for that this car has is rear air conditioning. With having any type of vehicle it is important to have air vents the rear passengers can control and use.
