test drive this car and you will end up buying it! I've owned an Audi and a Saab and this car is in the same league but better priced! Thank you Mazda, you've made a beautiful car that is affordable and sporty!

Pros: - love the style inside and out on the sedan. - love the way Mazda drives, handles well. - The Bose sound system is great. - I feel safe in this car. Cons: - Tight space, especially the back seats. - The safety features in the US are missing some items compare to other countries. - Missing some basic features even compare to my old 07 Jetta. (heater mirror, car alarm for break in, etc) - The display should have been touch screen as well, for when you're just sitting in the car. After having the car for about half year now, these are some thing off the top of my head. I liked the previous style of the Mazda, with this generation it's takes it up a notch. The Bose sound system sounds really good, I just wish there was a CD player. Yes, a CD player. Because mp3s and music streaming still have a lower sound quality than CD, I would like to see if this system can tell the difference. Make sure to do your research before buying, cause I didn't. I just assume some of the items were standard until after I bought the car. During the winter every morning my mirrors were fogged up, it was then I found out there's no heater mirror on the car. Most cars now a days have heated mirrors standard or comes with heated seats. I honestly don't understand what Mazda was thinking. I still haven't needed the AWD so I can't comment much on that. Personally I wanted a stick shift but I didn't like the hatch style or pay for the premium trim, oh well. Over all it's a nice car but like every car out there, it's not perfect.

Had the breaking problem when new and was fixed with an update. On the 3rd battery now as it has something that always kills the battery. Mazda says everything is good!!! If you don’t drive the car everyday especially in the winter the battery is dead. Must have some huge draw but apparently everything checks out ok? Last Mazda

Beware people ! The 2019 model year already had 6 recalls . We just dropped the car off at the dealership service .. some major transmission problem . Grinding noise going into gear past 60kmph, and burning smell , smoking comes from car .. this car only has 5,960km on it . 6 recalls and now this ? Avoid , avoid ! Junk !
