They like it ;)

Good article and i'm glad they like it. Mazda is improving once again.

REALLY? no way, I thought it's not fast enough like some other review said? it's not punchy cuz it's a Mazda, oh yea that FIT is so fast with 120 hp ... :)

I'd like to know what the hell Mazda was thinking when offering trims/options for this car? You can't get the 6-speed with leather, you can only get 17" wheels with the 2.5 non skyactive engine...all skyactive only come with the beyond ugly 16s. Makes absolutely no sense.

Agreed. Mazda has a nack for screwing things like this up. Still, they engineered a great product.

Agreed, SkyActive is gonna be huge but once again, Mazda is a step slow on the execution of the product offering as a whiole. I have no idea what their angle was on these trim combos but they failed miserably. This is the kind of thing that keeps you from being a great car company.
