 I bought my first mazda (mazda3 s) used in 2009 and I loved it.Since then I have bought 3 more and now I have a 2011 mazda3 s 2.5 and we just bought a 2011 Mazda CX-7 i touring.My wife loves the car, and I do too.It drives VERY nicely and is very well put together on the inside with alot of attention to detail.As far as being pokey, I have not seen it at all and I have the non-turbo engine.
