When originally looking to buy a new car I always found that the Mazda lineup was very appealing. They are very stylish inside and out but that is about where it stops. The car is extremely loud when driving. This isn't even highway driving, it can be slow driving. It is so loud that I can't even hear the radio without blasting it. In addition, the windshield fluid tank is about 0.5oz. It runs out constantly and the stock blades are basically useless. Gas mileage is decent but that is one of the only positive about the car. I would trade it in a heartbeat given a good deal.

It is spacious, very big trunk space and efficient use of frame to maximize space for passengers. The drivers seat and panel is laid out and simple to use. I like that it drives smoothly and accelerates well for a vehicle it's size and weight, (although it could be better). Most impressive is it's turning radius, which is great for parking lots. I do not like that after 70K miles, it does not perform as well as it did, despite diligent maintenance. Torque is diminished, however on balance it is a great car. Despite the multiple recalls for minor issues, my family and I are very satisfied.
