 I have enjoyed the car for 5 months and over 7000 miles.  On a 7 hour drive the car proved comfortable and peppy. Fitted heated side view mirrors. Overall mpg 21-26, which is okay.  The car feels steady on highways - does not sway.  Overall a very good car.  Mazda should shorten the rear bumper depth and may be improve trunk space or the rear seat space by a few more inches.
