Sit low to ground like sprts car. Great six speed manual. Fun to drive. Not a dog, just tuned cleverly for fuel economy. Torque max is 3,400 rpm, allowing great gas milage at normal rpm shifting, and mellow driving, unless you want, or need more, then, put your foot into it, and it will go. The best of both worlds. Window on rpm gauge lets you know which gear you're in, and when to up, or down shift. It will tell you to go from 6->3 going down a hill. But tough seeing down, and long, so have to swing out wide going around corners. Lovely styling. Understated performance, and drivability. Not a "Hey, look at me!" car, drive-wise. Simple, but functional. Likable.

Have seen mostly i Tourings so I wanted to give an i Sport review. The Great- Looks and handling. Easily the best looking car in the class and lets face it, it's nice having something different than everyone else. Car either has incredible handling or everything else I have been driving is poor. The good- Stylish interior and infotainment system. I really like the interior design but I have to admit...it takes a little getting use too. When I first drove the car, I thought it was almost weird. I don't like that the infotainment display always returns to the home screen. Should default to a channel list. The seats are also a little narrow as others have mentioned. My parents hate this car because they can barely fit in the seats. Aside from those minor things the interior and infotainment system are good. The bad- The only real bad things about this car are the head room around the window areas and the trunk. The trunk is nice and deep but the entrance to the trunk is small. It is difficult to fit items into the entrance. Also, when you try to reach things out of the windows its difficult to see what you are reaching for...The window is small around the door frame and at 6'2 I have hit my head multiple times. Overall- Had I rated this car after the initial test drive, I would have rated it a 2* but like other posters the longer I own this car the more I like it. It has great pick up and incredible handling. Gas mileage much better than others in this class.

I wish I could have found a touring with a 6 speed manual and Moonroof. They don't make that combination. The car feel slightly under powered. I added fog lights which was more for aesthetics versus function. It is a beautifully styled car, looks very much like a Camary in a lot of ways but is so much better as far as overall lines. It is far the most balanced of the Mazda lineup.

Piece of junk

Bought this car brand new in Oct 2016. I am the only one that drives this car. Acceleration is horrible, and no power at all. Ride quality is horrible, lots of wind noise in cabin if going over 60 mph. Paint is already chipping on hood, and front of car, without highway driving, and car is parked under covered parking, and washed with gently soap. DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE, IT IS POORLY MADE.

They are getting scarce. Very happy with the 6 so far. 3 years later still love the car, a, lot more car than many people get for 28-30 K Despise the traction control, in the snow & ice it keeps cutting the engine out if I spin the from wheels a bit - usually when I am pulling out into traffic, thanks a lot. Car still runs perfect, looks good, zero problems (as expected). The electric safety brake is a great idea that sucks in practice.
