I bought a Mazda 3 skyactiv GS with luxury package this spring (2012). the fuel mileage is awesome (consistently between 6 and 7 L/100km mostly city driving) after 6000km. I still love it, of course I am coming from an old corolla in which the only thing auto was the transmission. my Mazda has an auto transmission with the tiptronic shifting. I have it all decked out, only thing. I would love to have had (and couldn't with this model) is dual climate control. of course the model I got you couldn't get new under 20k, it's too bad you don't have great credit, as the 0% is nice. It has some good kick to it and the dashboard is well laid out, nice features such as auto windshield wipers etc. I got the hatchback and have enjoyed it. my only complaint is sometimes going from reverse to drive and quickly hitting the acceleration it seems to jump a gear or something, could be because its new and I am used to a 20 year old car. otherwise it shifts quite smooth (6 gear transmission).
