Hopefully that I have taste...and shares in the local petrol station!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They love it, the Copper Red colour with the stone leather really work well together

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, because there aren't too many around. It's not a company car so why not shake off the "Mondeo" man syndrome?

A fair deal, top price for my trade-in and a good price on the Mazda

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Want exclusivity!

What was the dealer like?

Good, very helpful

What's it like to drive?

Easy-peasey, very responsive with great roadholding. Sticks to the road around corners with very little body-roll

With the sensors it's not too bad, small turning circle though...

Rear wiper had no blade left, Dealer sent me one in the post.

What's most practical about your car?

Easy to drive with some oomph if needed

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Two - BOSE sound system and the Xenon headlamps (wouldn't buy any future car without them)
