It's a great starter car. It's one of those cars that are great to go from point A to point B. Minimal, sleek and a great drive in the city. It's by no means fancy but it gets the job done.

This car is beautiful. The ride is super smooth and it handles like a dream. It makes driving fun. The interior console is set up very nicely. The leather is supple and smooth. Initially I had to get used to the seat warmers but they're a nice feature to have during the winter. Another nice feature is the cameras in the back. Great for parallell parking.

Easy handling. Field of view is great. The car overall is a great starter car. The hatchback is a great option because it has an enormous amount of cargo space when the seats are pulled down. Overall a great car for a great price. Fuel efficiency is also great on the highway (we did a get a larger motor).

I find this car to be extremely fun to drive. I am generally not a car person and was initially reluctant to purchase a Mazda because of perceived issues. I was glad I was wrong. The car handles really well. The steering a very responsive. My only drawback is that I do find when I break that the breaks are super responsive. However, I've gotten used to this. One thing that I would like is a better horn. The horn is quite weak sounding. Overall I am super happy with this car. I got the hatchback version and it was the best decision I've ever made. It's been great with moving cargo to and from furniture stores and even on long car rides. Great little car for a first car.
