I can tell the brand is working hard and developing their luxury image after severing ties with Ford and their successful partnership. It is great to see Mazda finally achieving what they wanted with the Amati Japanese-luxury fighting brand they proposed in 1990. unfortunately they just did not have the money to start a seperate luxury brand like acura, nissan and lexus back then.
Mazda has stepped up their automatic transmission and overall drivetrain tuning game BIG-TIME with the skyactiv design transmissions. the previous generation 5 speed auto used in the 4 cylinder mazda's was an apalling transmission to say the least. the newest mazda cx-5 continues to ride on the original G chassis and revised skyactiv version of the L engine they had from before, but everything is very well designed together and still class-competitive without a doubt. mazda's drivetrain and chassis tuning is excellent. above all, my favourite two things about the car is the 2.5L engine which revs and produces torque wonderfully while being efficient and making a great sound, and the steering. I cannot think of any other 2015 model car that is this involving to drive period.
Now that they have improved the interiors in the newer cars (addressing my only complaint) they have really shaped up to become quite the brand. If they could improve two more things, it would be stiffer suspension (less body roll) and most importantly do something with the stock open differential, which is crap. that thing needs to go.
