Not for tall humans

Fit and finish, drivability, looks, etc, are all fantastic. However, as a 6ft tall man, I cannot achieve a comfortable driving position. Very annoying. Steering wheel doesn’t come out far enough, so I have to move the seat forward and cramp my legs. Also, the drivers seat gives me lower back pain. If you are downsizing from a larger vehicle, make sure you are OK with this vehicle’s relatively small interior, and double check your driving position! Wishing I would have bought a larger vehicle.

Mazda provides great value for the money. The car design and details are well thought out. Stocked bumper & sill guards would have presented a higher level of quality. I'm not crazy about not having a keyed ignition.

Overall this car has been fantastic, zero issues and the only gripe I have is that the driver side is a little cramped, I’m 6’3 so I guess I’ll have this problem with just about any car.
