    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Light, nippy, responsive, good steering feedback, good ride height (adjustable).

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not intended as a mini-racer (nor was I!), but very happy with performance.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    So far, so good. Had previous H-Reg 626 Estate. Can't beat Mazda reliability and confidence!

    Happy with exterior design. Not an Aston Martin DB9 Vanquish S, is it? Prettier than the Atoz!

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not a Rolls, but not a Hyundai Atoz either!
