Actually, I do get 40 mpg overall...fair mixture of city/highway. I'ts a 1.6L 103-hp 5speed. I'm not saying they're all safe and inefficient - but there isn't one that is safe AND efficient like my car.
I was in 3 accidents in a 1992 Protege, none of which were my fault, and my car was hardly damaged while I saw a Mustang and an Escort get wrecked. The Civic in the 3rd one was fine.
Had another collision, my fault unfortunately, in a parking lot with a Marquis, it had $300 damage, I had a 3-inch scratch.
I'm thrilled with Mazda's value and I can see no reason to spend more and get less with an American car.
