For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

    Driven a few Mazda 3’s and the wheel / button placement is great. Lots of things within fingers reach. One thing I’m not keen on is the sports mode button, that should totally be on the steering wheel, where right now it’s on the middle dashboard.

    I guess the idea is you want people to think about switching this mode on/off so it disincentives them doing it all the time maybe?

      Another bump for Mazda. Their recent engines are phenomenal as well. Really well made naturally aspirated 4 cylinder with a normal 6 speed automatic. They drive fantastic and feel very well engineered. No more cheap ford parts. Best bang for your buck right now in my opinion.

      Well, I bet that sports mode position comes from the MT days. It’s also not a switch for casual people to toggle frequently.
