We got a mazda 3 with the 6 spd manual, and love it. Overall build quality seems very good, although some of the interior bits feel a bit cheap and plastic. But crawling around underneath, doing oil changes, swapping the winter tires on, I am impressed over and over.

If I drive it nice, I can break 40 mpg.

If they really up the mpg by 30%, we're talking 50 or better if you drive it nice.
