Sho's 7th Mazda!

Rolled 7k this weekend.

Had my free oil change done at 6800 miles as we are taking another road trip this week.

Still averaging 29mpg on highway trips, with i-stop off.

Couple things to note:
-while wind noise inside the car seems minimal, when I call my fiance while on the road, she complains that she can hear wind noise prominently on her end. Havent received that feedback from anyone else, however she's usually got airpods in...maybe its amplifying it in her ears?

-the more aggressive you take off from a stop, the smoother the 1-2 shift is. The short gearing and the wet clutch really appreciate a more aggressive take-off IMO

-i wish the front seats had thigh extenders

Another road trip in the books for the better halfs bridal shower. Came back with more than we left with and just under 9k miles on the clock now! Averaged 27mpg on the trip both ways, from Louisville to Baltimore and back loaded up with the 3 pups, luggage for a week, etc.

Love these updates...How did it handle the load and that rack extension on the back. Did that affect handling, noise levels etc?
