 all the reviews and car magazines were spot on. drives like a dream, not just for an SUV, but for any car. the size is just right for us, and the seats feel great. of course some pieces could be metal instead of plastic, or just a higher quality material, but this is not a luxury car and nothing feels inadequate. for the price, we think this is an amazing deal. and with mazda being such a reliable brand, we are driving it happily and worry-free. top-of-the-line safety ratings gives us peace of mind too. two thumbs up.
