  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Cheap compared to anything else with the same spec/ performance.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Very bad on fuel and having to check oil every two fills gets annoying.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent road holding and little road noise.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Awesome, very fast revs all the way to 9.5k. Fuel and oil problems drift away as soon as you accelerate.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good. You have to be very careful not to flood it when the engine's cold though. If that happens it has to go back to Mazda.

    Just look at it. Got mine in titanium as you don't see many in that colour.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good for the type of car. Lots of room in the back as well.
