I tested this car. It looks like a million bucks. I am shopping for a possible Accord replacement. Unfortunately, the steering feels like that of a 1967 Chrysler Newport. It's totally soft and geriatric in feel. In my opinion, it ruins an otherwise awesome car.
What was Mazda thinking? This car shouts "Drivers Car" and then let's you down when you drive it. Zoom This!
I have to agree.
My dad and I test drove a GS Comfort package, I4, auto on Saturday. Power was okay (nothing special), ride was comfortable (not soft but not jarring either), and it was spacious inside. But like you mentioned, the steering was horrible. Too light for my tastes, and not that responsive.
