 Great vehicle for urban living, less desirable with large families and further out.  Small size makes for easy parking and able to use tight spaces.  Hold greats cargo and easy to load/unload.  Front seats get a lil' tight for people over 6'.  Roadnoise/tire roar is prevalent (like most Mazdas).  Fuel economy falls to low 20's when driving at Western state highway sppeds (i.e. 70 mph cruising).  Great handling, just adequate power.
