    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Buy a 518 for the same money and miss out on: 500cc, a supercharger, full leather and electrics, etc, etc.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Great value, but poor depreciation: mainly due to lack of image.

    Front wheel drive! Which idiot thought of that?;

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It may be only 211bhp, but the torque curve is high, long at flat all the way to the red line and the kickdown is instant.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    My third Mazda now - they never ever go wrong!

    Image

    It looks good, but now if it ain't a BMW or a Merc, people aren't interested.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    500 miles - may as well have been 5 miles.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It ain't a BMW or a Merc, so the thieves don't give it a look.
