    Excellent, especially if bought private.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Mazda servicing and spares very expensive. Find a local independant garage/spares.

    Rewarding. Almost sporty.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Suprisingly nippy. A little more oomph at lower speed be nice. Not a road urner.

    Even at 6 years old, the styling can't be beaten.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good comfortable driving position. Road noise intrudes at higher speeds.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Standard immobiliser. Fitted my own alarm. Flimsy locks.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Customer service fine. Pricing far too expensive.
