 I own this car and it has not even come close to the expectations I had for it.  It looks great.  But that is it. Performance is poor, it is slow, and finally it has not been very reliable at all.  The starter has been a constant problem in the cold weather.  The electrical system has given me problems.  The tire pressure monitoring system has given me problems.  If I could do it over again, I would absolutely never buy this car again.  After my experience with the manufacturer, I will never buy another Mazda for that matter.
