  i dont own one.. but i did drive my friend's basic and GTS.. (both diff pple)...
  
  but the fuel consumption for a 1.6 is on the high side as the car itself is 1.2ton..
  
  the noticeable vibrations kicked in at 170-180km/h.. this is because of the weight (i guess)... its good for a japanese 1.6 already..

  I own Mazda sports. But I feel the handling quite heavy..not as agile like honda cars. Also very unconfortable ride when goin over 20km/h bumps at 25-35km/hr.

  Hi there,
  
  What is the fuel consumption like?
  By the way, do u have the technical spect of this car, like the max hp and max torque..?
  
  What do u meant by uncomfortable ride when going over 20km/h? is it when u go slow, the car vibrate or wat?

  i think he meant that going over uneven roads/humps at 20-35km/h its uncomfortable.
  
  The reason for this is because mazda's suspension is relatively stiff (sporty feel).. that's y its uncomfortable when u go over humps at this speed.. if u want a more comfortable ride over uneven roads, get a softer configuration..
