I have been a Mazda fan since my first GLC hatchback (1983 I think?) and while I have owned several other makes of cars in my lifetime, nothing compares to a Mazda. All four of the Mazdas I have owned over the years have been solidly reliable with great fuel economy, so when I decided that, for the first time in my life, I was going to splurge on a brand new vehicle, my local Mazda dealership was my first - and only - stop. I have had absolutely no regrets about purchasing this car! With the Skyactive engine (6 speed manual transmission) I get about 600km/tank, and that is with little to no highway driving. It's a very comfortable car, handles well in all conditions, and in my opinion is quite stylish compared to other cars in it's class. They've made some improvements to the dash panel since my 2006 model (which was already pretty nice) both functionally and aesthetically. I did opt for quite a few "bells and whistles" and I'm glad I did - well worth it! I am absolutely in love with this car, and would recommend to anyone who wants a stylish yet practical vehicle that drives like a dream! Zoom Zoom!
