Major Upgrade

I leased my 4 door hatch 2.0 iTouring in January, so I cant comment on reliability. I've got the 6 speed manual and it includes all of the options excepting eloop, lane departure warning, and Adaptive CC. I was coming out of a Hyundai Veloster, and this was a MAJOR upgrade in just about every way imaginable. Build quality is the most striking difference between the two vehicles. Ive driven about 1500 miles thus far and I've averaged 34.4 MPG combined. For those who are struggling to meet the EPA's estimates, I suggest using the cruise control whenever you're on the highway.

Coming from a Honda Fit, this is a great step-up in terms of, well, everything except for ease of parking, although it's still pretty easy to park. Roomy in the front and rear, with enough cargo room, plenty of power for me (184 hp engine), and looks great outside and in. Controls and navigation instructions take some getting used to but are intuitive once you grasp it. Bluetooth does take a while to connect on startup and only sometimes resumes my phone music for some reason. From what others say, the tires are crap in the rain and are noisy. MPG in San Francisco is 23 without the Tech Package not driving conservatively, but that's in line with what I got in the fit (85% of advertised mpg, tons of traffic/hills, etc).

Nice driving car with high quality interior. Good engine and handling. However, engine and road noise were VERY intrusive. This is the third time I've passed on a Mazda to buy another brand due to noise levels. Too bad Mazda has continued to neglect this. The clutch was easy to adjust too but didn't add any excitement to the driving experience. I would probably opt for the automatic with this vehicle even though I generally prefer manual transmissions.

I was trying to decide between the Mazda3 and the Lexus 200h. This car has all the main features I liked in the Lexus and I saved some $7000+. It is fun to drive - a lot of pep and I can't say enough about how helpful the blind spot detector is when I change lanes on a busy highway.

This is the first non hybrid car I have owned in over a decade. No doubt I will be paying more at the pump, however, the ride is comfortable, the technology is easy to use and aides in safe driving, and the ride is comfortable. Driving is a pleasure!
