 Owned this car for over two months now and it is by far the funnest car I have ever driven.  Not quite as fast as my blown 93 Firebird but a better driver.  Handling and acceleration are incredible.  Nothing quite like hitting the interstate with cruise already on at 75mph and not really pushing it.  I drive like that all the time and it still averages over 26mpg.  Go figure.  Even wifes regular Mazda 3 get great mileage (over 30).  Only real issue I have (and its a minor one) is both vehicles have rattles in both front doors by the speakers.
