 This is a good car for everyday 
driving, however it wont do much more 
than that.  Whenever you need that 
extra oomph there is nothing there, 
and downshifting hardly does anything 
but make more noise.  Overall it is a 
good car but it just seems to be 
lacking, maybe that ES would be better 
or even the new MazdaSpeed.  I just 
wish it had some character to stand 
out from the rest of the everyday 
commuters.
