I love my car! It is a comfortable ride that has the power to zoom around slow cars on the road. The car handles well. It is quick to break and quick to speed up. I feel really safe when driving my car. We are well suited for each other. According to the control panel, overall I usually get about 32.4 MPG. I like that when I get in my car, it says hello to me, and when I get out it says good-bye. The blue and red lights at night make it look like a cockpit. The lights are fun without being obnoxious. I have received many compliments from friends about how nice my car is.

Love this car. Have never had any reliability issues with it at all. It gets decent gas mileage (if you can control yourself from mashing the accelerator that is). For the money, it has some of the highest horse power (HP) you can get. The engine and transmission are both strong and reliable (Mazda builds some great budget gearboxes). Having the hatchback really makes it versatile. By putting down the rear seats, I have been able to haul a ton of stuff. I have the blue color, which pops and gets a lot of attention from people. Looks wise it's great too, but Mazda could have done better with that front bumper. Having the turbo is really fun, though of course turbo lag causes it to kick in at around 3500 rpm. Can't avoid turbo lag, though. Build quality is good, too. Nothing has broken on me on the inside, though the steering wheel leather is fading due to the sun. All the other leather is fine, though. The car is a bit loud on cold starts, but it doesn't bother me and gets much quieter after warm up. One annoying thing I have noticed is that the spoiler is not attached very well and rattles in cold weather. I have been able to fix it with two-sided tape, though.
