The Mazda has a build quality that I don't see in the other cars.
As for the fuel mileage...the Mazda is poor compared to the civic, because you tend to stay in it a bit more...it's just a fun car to rock around with. Toss the Mazdaspeed exhaust on it and it's quite the rocket, with an excellent exhaust note. On the freeway, AC on and cruise set, we get 33 mpg or so at 75mph. Around town, it dros closer to 22, with my foot in it continuously.
The hatch is cavernous...to a point. It'll hold lots of stuff, but there's too many thing sticking into the open space to carry really large single things...IKEA runs don't always work out. It will easily hold a complete 911 exhaust system sitting flat on the floor though, to give you an idea of the real estate.
