I got the S 5 speed sport auto transmission. It's so nice and fun to drive. Handles great. Just wish it got a little better gas mileage.

I've only had the car for 2 weeks, and I like the car a lot. One thing I would point out is the small trunk on the sedan and high back-end spoiler. Maybe I was spoiled my a mid-size car. Outside of that, I'm incredibly happy with my purchase. For the price, you can't get anything fully loaded and with the size engine. The Civic is close, but do you want to be like everyone else? Tremendous value! I was looking at the Mazda 6, but you can get basically the same car for $10K less, much better value.

Hands down best car I have every purchased. I've owned 3 Hondas; '90 LX, '96EX and '99 SI Civics also an '02 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (piece of junk). This car gets out handles and preforms all these cars and also get better gas mileage. MAZDA is the car of choice in this segment. Sorry Honda lovers but it's true. Buy a Mazda and you'll see.

Excellent performing car. I love driving it. It handles great, it is fast and looks awesome. But the fuel economy is horrible I have driven the car 1500 miles and I am averaging 22-24 MPG. I would recommend the manual. Mazda automatics don't get good gas mileage. I test drove a Benz C230 with the Kompressor and enjoyed driving this car much more.

Every time I drive my car, I feel like it is the first time I have driven it--and this is after owning it for over two years! I am a student, and this car was very affordable for me. It has everything I wanted in a car--safety, handling, comfortability, peppy engine, good gas mileage, fun to drive, great features inside and out, easy to maintain/ not very costly. It makes me feel great, safe, and very pleased with my purchase. I would not trade this car in for anything!!
