I LOVE the 5. But not for a poor reason.
Resale value sucks. Which is good for a buyer, getting a second hand one. I see many nice units for cheaper than Honda Insights (G1). Yes, their fuel economy as a base stat is not impressive. For it's power level, I would expect more. If you get a standard, keep in mind EOC. That will significantly help fuel economy. Ecomods otherwise are all the same, really.
The only car I considered (REALLY considered) against my Mustang was the CX-5. For a close price (~25) it was very nicely equipped. Gorgeous inside, ride was great- sporty in a turn but comfortable in a straight. The biggest thing was after test driving so many Mustangs, it felt like a slug with a parachute flat out. I couldn't figure out why it was so cheap. All Mazdas seem a tad pricey than a foreign competitor, but I don't think it's a rip off.
If you want, I can make you a spreadsheet of auto populating costs/mile if you give me the general factors, and which cars.
