Definately a nifty car - quick and practical without busting the wallet.

I've got a Mazda6 S wagon - the bigger cousin of that car. This is a surprisingly good handling car with decent brakes and a 220 hp engine. I've got 60K on it now, no rattles, no squeaks, interior looks like new. This is the 5speed auto with the sport shift (manual auto mode).

I sold our last Mazda (MX-6 V6) with 290,000 miles on the clock. I did have to put a clutch in around 275,000. Ran into the kid that bought it a couple of months ago, car has 310,000 still running strong. Little smoke on first start in the morning (valves have never been done) but still runs strong, drives great and passes emissions.

I'd buy another Mazda after my last two and the Mazdaspeed would DEFINATELY be one I'd consider!
