I'm getting much better gas mileage...I have the 6 speed A/T and I get 40.5 MPG with that being 95% city driving, and I have only 1400 miles on it. It's so much more than my old Yaris. Yeah, I know that's not popular here.

Hey, your experience is as valid as any other. I think most question/wonder about long term reliability. On a 3 year lease, it almost doesn't matter what you buy these days (almost lol), but if you're looking to buy and drive until the wheels fall off, I'm putting my money on my '07 over the new Mazda re-badge versions. I, and others, very well may be wrong about that. Time will tell.

+1.
10th year owning my '08 and runs like it did off the lot. It has surpassed almost 15+ cars I've owned during the same time of ownership and has been in 5 accidents, all not at fault for me. I was actually swiped by a U Haul truck yesterday and waiting for estimator to assess damage. Almost 90k on the odometer
