Generally speaking, when a poster is quick to point out faults or deficits of a car on that cars forum you have to wonder why they bought a Mazda and why they are here? It’s not constructive at all.
If this is addressed to the OP (me), let me explain that I do love my car. On seeing the specific categories reported by CR, I immediately wondered what the actual problems are that CR readers flagged as significant problems in those categories. CR does not report those problems, so I thought the next best way to determine them would be to ask folks here to say whether they knew what these problems would likely be, either through first hand experience, or through reading of the many threads on this forum.
Interestingly, no one has said "Yeah, that's probably the windshield problem I've read about or experienced", or "Another thread discussed lift gate problems" (To be clear, both of these I just made up). Perhaps this means that numbers were low for CR's data, and they did indeed base their conclusions on problems in other models like the MX-5 or CX-9.
My goal is to find out more about any problems that are being experienced, and address them on my own car if needed. I imagine that most here would like to do the same.
