Incredibly reliable and a blast to drive.

You know how some people talk about developing a relationship with their car? This is one of those sorts of cars. It was reliable from the moment I got it to the moment I sold it and made me smile every mile it went. The only complaint ive ever had is there is a bit of road noise, and it's not the smoothest ride, but for the price, it was far better than one could ask for.

Best car I have ever owned PERIOD!!!

This car is hands down best bang for your money. I've owned a lot of cars and nothing beats Mazda in anything except maybe base sound system. Performed like a dream, worth every penny,comfortable, super safe, drives for eternity on just a 40 dollar tank of gas..which fills it up at 319 a gallon. Responsive as xxxx. Little racer for you sporty types.great for Seattle commutes

GREAT CAR!

I have owned this vehicle for 8 years now. Has never let me down and is so fun to drive. The handling is better than any other car I have driven. It has a sporty look to it and well as sleek look. 10/10 would recommend.

Best sedan I’ve owned.

Very sporty sedan. Good on gas, lots of trunk room. Seats are firm and could be more comfortable, but are very long lasting with shape over years. Great gas mileage, two cabins air filters. Very easy to clean inside and outside.

My first Mazda - LOVE this car

Great gas mileage, even in the city, handles well. Decent leg room in the back, plenty of storage behind back seats; the back seats fold down offering the versatility of an SUV

Great intermediate sedan

One of the most important reasons I bought this car is it is so easy to get in and out of. And plenty of headroom. I'm 5ft. 9in tall.
