 Really fun car!  
 I would not be caught dead owning an 
SUV/wagon but, because of the nature of 
my projects, I need more than a sedan.  
I also want a car that has good 
performance.
 I bought it on Friday PM and we left 
Boston for Chester Nova Scotia Saturday 
AM.  My wife and I found the controls 
and instruments to be well designed and 
the gas mileage to be reasonable (23.3 
mpg at 79 mph) and (25.3 mpg at 75 
mph).  The car is very comfortable and 
I found that there was less road noise 
than in my Passat GLX.
 It's road handling is fantastic!  I 
have a fairly aggressive driving style 
and I found that it took the corners of 
the Nova Scotia country roads 
effortlessly. Well done Mazda!
