I loved that my little zoom is zippy, and using a five-speed transmission only makes the ride that much more fun. You can easily hit the highway and before you know it your speeding and you need to control yourself. Sound system is the greatest, but it gets the job done and makes driving that much fun. I do love how it still has your aux port tucked inside the glove box so it doesn't look like a big mesh of wires is just flopping all over the car. Maintenance is fairly simple and honestly as long as your not messing around to much this car can def last for a long time. My problem though is I'm a car nut. I will fully use and abuse this car and to say the least I feel a little bad for it. I've went through a transmission already, and granted, I bought the car with 80,000 miles have already had to replace the rear struts and the front ones are ready to go as well. All in all if you want and need a reliable car that will take you from point A to B and have some fun with it... I would recommend this car to you... For the car heads like me, something with a little more horses would suffice, the Mazda speed model of this car must be a beast all things considered and quite honestly is what I will be searching for once the time for me to replace this little beater comes.

My vehicle is pretty smooth to drive. I like how flexible the steering wheel is not too hard to turn, but not too easy. The space in the car is limited, and even though it is a compact car/sedan, I have been in many similar cars that have more space. The seats are very firm and not too comfortable. I have found that the interior is more suited for smaller men or females. The men in my family have a hard time fitting into my car comfortably. The car is quite hard to take apart if something breaks or fails, as the whole interior is basically one plastic piece.
