Summary
What does this car say about you?
A car designed for drivers by drivers. Well equiped and practical to use on a daily basis. Great looking exterior. A good all rounder with very little overhead costs.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone I have shown has commented on how practical and good looking it is.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely. I was always convinced Honda would be my next choice but for the amount of standard equipment it's not suprising I've seen so many Mazdas driving about. Would recommend to anyone with a passion for driving in style that does not want to spend all their hard earned cash on their next motor.
What are you likely to buy next?
Definitely another Mazda car, especially after reading other owners' reviews. Most people like me who have recently purchased a Mazda wished they had years ago.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Handles really well with more than enough torque being the 185bhp output. Extremely comfy on any journey, a real pleasure to drive.
What's it like to park?
No problems with a suprsingly good turning circle. Easy enough to judge distances from kerbs, etc.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing - all good so far.
What's most practical about your car?
Greater amount of boot space as my Honda Tourer had. Great looking car which handles and rides very well.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Bluetooth integrated stereo with Bose speakers as standard and proximatey warning system which is great on motorway driving, plus heated seats are a great luxury. Electric folding door mirrors are very handy.
