Sporty styling. Big grille promises big powah. Black with red stitching, interior much better than Mazda3 and Mazda5
Gayla loved the paint. Plastic wheel lip moldings, lower body cladding should help prevent rust. Not what the grille promised.
Commanding appearance. Thankfully more conventional than Mazda3, with a larger nav screen. Very good ergonomics.
Bolsters less effective than they appear. Red stitching attractive. Good legroom, but cushion a little low, window line high, and seatback doesn't recline.
Pockets in the sidewalls perfectly sized for a gallon of milk. Long hood. Needs the Grand Touring's 19-inch wheels to fill huge wheel openings.
