    It drinks like a fish - 20mpg driving slow.

    Driving

    It drives how it looks - fantastic.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fit performance air filters and exhaust, then it's fast.

    Pictures don't do this car justice. When you get up to one and see the curves, not to mention where the doors handles are...

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    At 6' 3", I just fit, but once in, you feel part of the car, rather than being sat on it.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    All will be ok with alarm, a DiskLock, oh and a big dog, shootgun and an electric fence.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Local Mazda are good at getting parts, but as for fixing it, I leave that to a specialist, as my local Mazda dealer have never even seen one until mine.
