Fantastic value as now so cheap and dependable.
Costs
Mazda own parts expensive, but you seldom need to buy any except filters.

On the road
Driving
Responsive, solid handling and holds the road supremely. A little difficult on rear vision for smaller drivers, but not really a problem, you soon get accustomed to it.
Performance
Responsive for 1.6, sometimes wish I had opted for 1.8, solid handling.

Great, in 4 years it has only needed replacement distributer sourced second hand at £65

respectable and cute, still really not looking too dated yet even in 2006
Comfort
Great car for medium stature, but 6ft 3 friend could not fit behind wheel nor drive it.
