Got a great deal on this car. Second Mazda we own, really reliable cars. Good interior layouts, good handling. Jul 12, 2021

After about a year of owning the car I can say that I am happy with my purchase. The car looks great, drives like a top level car, and is filled with options. The car struggles a bit with heavy winter driving, but that was remedied partially with the addition of Blizzak winter tires. This car turns heads and is a riot to drive around any corner above speed.Mar 23, 2015

This car has been to most reliable car I have ever owned! I had so many more corky issue with my Accord but this car since has had no issue other than wear items that need replaced. This is also a great car for hauling, traveling (especially with pets), and actually doesn't handle terrible in the snow. If you're looking for something fun but practical, this is definitely the vehicle for you!Jun 20, 2014
