Awful quality

Would not recommend this car to most people.

Let's start of with the positives:
Looks great, nice looking interior, handles very well, lovely ride.

Now the reason I wouldn't buy it:
Awful Turning circle, car reset most settings every time you get in the car, daft electronics (won't show time in instruments etc.) Awful mpg, terrible build quality, poor back seat and terrible boot. Electric handbrake dimwitted.

I have had the car 3 weeks and had to return it due to multiple issues within the cabin including; both front door severely rattling and squeaking, both seat belt clips on b pillars failing, gear stick squeaking in use and unable to get into reverse, steering wheel rattling and needing replacement, dashboard rattling, new armrest on drivers door.

Awful experience. It's hard to live with every day because Mazda insist on you using the car their way instead of your way, and if you change the settings they reset when you next get in. They don't do a lot of the basics right, like show trip mpg or the time. To make the cabin feel nice, they neglected easy to live with features in other cars that might not have as nice a cabin but are better to live with.
