Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's getting to be a bit of a fashion statement in bright green with the anthracite grey wheels and a nice understated body kit
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Love it, took brother and dad out for a spin and both thought it was superb
Would you buy this car again and why?
Subject to it staying reliable, I think I would have another, it's nicely styled, drives and handles like a dream and isnt too thirsty or insurance-heavy. Probably the only car Ive felt this way about
What are you likely to buy next?
As I say subject to it staying reliable would definately look at another Mazda before anything else

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
lovely, probably the most responsive car Ive ever driven outside of a formula ford. Ride is a teeny bit harsher than Im used to but I put this down to the fact the tyres are very low profile and the springs / shocks are still bedding in
What's it like to park?
easy peasey, I think sensors are an option but didn't bother

5 doors, economy (35 quid to fill the tank even after petrol went up) low insurance and tax, electric folding mirrors
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
folding mirrors, steering wheel audio controls, aux in port for ipod etc
