 Love the styling and the performance (mainly handling), but can't say we're a big fan of the gas mileage.  My wife drives the car almost exclusively to work, which is a ~32 mile roundtrip of 90% highway miles, and we're averaging 25mpg (tires properly inflated, oil changed, air filter changed) on our 36,000 mile Mazda6.  The styling is great and it performed well in the snow, which reminds me of one other negative: this car is not meant for snow chains AT ALL.  There is almost no clearance between the control arms and the actual tire, so you get A LOT of vibration even at low speed with snow chains.  On top of that, the alloy wheels were scratched by the plastic chain connectors.
