I love how my car handles. It's very easy to drive. The car drives very responsively. In my old car everything felt very heavy and stiff, but with this car, it's very easy without feeling like I'm driving a toy. The interior is so nice with leatherette seats with red trim, and it has a infotainment screen, which is new for me. I like being able to connect my iPod and phone to my car easier. I really like having the hatchback version of my car because it feels roomier even if it seems really small outside. Everything feels very well made and thought-out. I also really enjoy my heated seats and heater because my old car didn't have one! This is also a small detail, but I like that my car is blue. I prefer them to have an actual color over being a neutral color. My sound system also comes with nine Bose speakers, which sound very nice. It also comes with blind spot detectors, so it lights up a little icon on your side mirror, and if you turn your turn signal on when the light is on, the car will beep at you. However, the side mirrors are huge so there isn't really a blind spot to begin with, but it helps.

I love this car. It is speedy enough to not feel sluggish when you press the gas, handles like a maneuverable little go kart, and also has responsive brakes. The hatchback version is as big as a regular sedan, but holds way more things than the sedan will. The rear seats fold flat down so the hatch space becomes much more open. I was able to fit a six ft. ladder in my car with only barely having to move the front passenger seat! The styling is great. It has red trim around the seats and parking brake cover. It seems incredibly reliable so far, and even if it isn't, I have a three-year coverage warranty from Mazda just because they gave it to me. The fuel economy is much better than my old car. I get between 25-30MPG vs. my 16-19 in my old (2001) car. The dashboard looks amazing, and it comes with a pretty useful infotainment system that shows you navigation (and tips), music, and Bluetooth capabilities. The radio system I love because you can set as many "favorite" radio stations as you want, and flip between them using the "next/back" buttons on the steering wheel, so you're not limited to six radio stations anymore.
