Another reason I love Mazda. Don't forget the new SkyActiv engine for 2012, should boost their MPGs as well.
.

the pop model starts at $15k with destination and they are already starting to be discounted.

i think its a really fun car and a good value IF the dealer network holds up and the reliability is at least average....and you can be comfortable in it.

it is not a good value, however, if one needs some utility.

i dont think the mazda 2 will have the skyactiv engine for 2012 though the mazda 2 gets it.

otherwise id be looking at the mazda 2. i would think if they shaved that much weight off the mazda 2 they could increase the epa estimates from 29/36....but i dont see any changes there.
