Couldn't ask for a better car. It is a superb performance car. The rotary engine revs much higher then any other car I've had and it handles perfectly nomatter what speed. On the open road you can put your food down and feel the acceleration. As far as cost goes you certainly get your moneys worth. Check out the 40th anniversary edition on mazda.com

Pros — Superb handling
Cons — Chews through oil

It's a head turner, especially in red. Practical 4 doors, and seats 4 comfortably, although rear headroom and legroom is lacking. Performance is great, comes with paddle shifters! 6-speed.Great soundtrack from the rotary. Bad fuel consumption though.

Pros — 4 door coupe
stunner to look at
nice rotary engine
paddle shifters
cheap
Cons — hard plastics
fuel consumption is absolutely horrendous..

This car in Black with a body kit and a wing with some rims and the inside tan or black, would be in my opinion the best car other than the Lamborghini. When i drove this car its pick up was slow but after that it was very fast and to keep the car at a steady speed i didnt even have to slightly press on the gas it did itself. The car on the inside is small but in my opinion I don't need a big car so it was perfect. In my opinion this is the best car for me!!!

Pros — The looks and the speed!
Cons — I heard the gas mileage isnt good.

This car has great everything.  It has a roadery engin so the harder you drive it the better.  And it is a 4 door so you get a brake on your inshurance.

Pros — Roadery engin
Cons — None!!!!

I had the sunroof open, the stereo cranked and cruised up and down Riverside by all the other dealerships.

Pros — Man magnet
Cons — I don't own one.

Needs a bit of work on the acceleration, but good handling otherwise.

Pros — Fantastic Ride!
Cons — Wee Bit Deflated at times!
