Awesome car! Unbelievable Bang for Buck!

The car handles amazing and the price is great for what you're getting. The Bose stereo is pretty good. Amazing power... you would never think that this is a 4. More power than most 6 cyls. The paint quality on my Speed6 is suspect. Ice slid off my car during the winter, leaving several scratches on the trunk. Now that's cheap paint. Also, although the foldaway design of nav is excellent, it is not intuitive at all, much better in Honda and Nissan. Can't use nav when driving even though remote was made for passenger to use. The car drinks gas but its to be expected with this much power.

Well built for the price segment & fun to drive. Interior is comfortable with excellent driver positioning. Chassis is rigid with good steering & suspension feedback. Engine is strong (when it wants to be) with well spaced gearbox ratios. A great blend of versatility & performance.

This is the closest to a German handling sport sedan that Mazda has ever created. It may look like a "Plain Jane", but this girl likes to party.

Left a sour taste in my mouth

Bought the car brand new. The clutch had to be replaced after about 14,000 miles but it was covered under warranty. Car started smoking with about 28,000 miles on it due to a blown seal in the turbo. The turbo had to be replaced along with some other parts but it was covered under warranty. The car is now back in the shop with about 40,000 miles on it. Started bucking and shuddering under light acceleration and the check engine light came on. It's now been at the shop for 2 full days and dealer is yet to tell me what's wrong with it. I love the car. Great bang for the buck but it's not reliable at all. I traded in an 05 Maxima (which also was a piece of junk) for this car.

I read the reviews, and there were two things that stood out that I have found are problems; random loss of power and the clutch is a piece of garbage. When I first got it I worshiped it, but with time, I noticed the clutch slips at higher RPMs under acceleration and I have always noticed the times when it loses power. And you never know when the power will not be there. Bad in hilly areas with that clutch. Oh and the build quality, some parts are super cheap. Maybe that is just cause I came from an Audi. And once in a while my shifter is really stiff.
