 When I bought this car, it was a necessary "downsizing" for me from a GMC Acadia (basically I took what I could get to get my payments more affordable).I didn't expect to like it; it was just something I bought to "get me by."Well, to my surprise, I am now a Mazda customer for life!This car has been very reliable, affordable, and fun to drive.Everything on the interior is clean and easy to use, and I think the exterior has a nice look to it as well.My family is growing so I am now taking advantage of the Mazda loyalty program to get a nice discount on the bigger CX-9.So glad I made this purchase!
