Are u sure sudden acceleration and comfortability is better than 121?no way...before i bought my car,i thoroughly examined both 3,axela,es5,fit aria and corolla.mazdas are ahead in style,but interior quality,comfortability and space i think it lacks.es5 and fit aria has vry cheaply done interiors and less options.mazda has lot of great options too.but finally i stopped at 121.which felt better for me in sudden acc(pressing the paddle twice)and comfortability it is behind.but when it comes to the axio,it is a crap in performance,using cvt.do ur mazda has cvt?
