I drove one last night (2.0 petrol) and couldn't get over how nice it was to drive (Im not just comparing to my corsa either)
It had so may extras on it too, xenon lights, traction control, bose speakers, auto wipers etc....
I've never really thought of Mazda as an "upmarket" car, but after been in that one, my opinion of them has changed completely.
Apparently they do a turbo version too? The 2.0 was quick, think its 140bhp?
Who else was impressed with them?
Might try and persuade my mum to get that next

What about the quality?
Japanese cars are renowned for having lots of options.

Quality seemed fine, but tbh I didn't go round pulling the plastic bits apart on the dash etc.

Looked mint on this one 
If I was "Settling" down, and needed a family car, i'd definately have one!

The problem with the 3 mps is that it's now £400 to tax. Really good fun to drive though, although they eat through tyres pretty quickly.
