 Every review on here seems to be written by Mazda's PR dept.This car has a major issue.Everything about the car is excellent, except for the transmission.It is flat out terrible.Read the reviews at cars.com, this is not isolated.In their attempt to save gas, Mazda has created a transmission that will not shift down unless you floor it, and then the pedal engages some sort of performance button imbedded in the floor and the car lurches forward unsafely.Real world driving is miserable.Every down shift is met with a delay sending your body forward, and then the car lurches forward a second later.Simply awful.Test drive in traffic, around corners, change speeds...you'll see.
