Purchased a new 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 and I currently have 105K miles on it with just regular maintinance. It is six speed, "can get 32 MPG" and when you want it stops , turns and goes great!!And if you like that kinda stuff it will also go 155 MPH and stop on a dime! Just be sure you find a good Mazda Service center, I have run into several that should be ashamed to call them selves a repair shop!
