I've had my 2009 Mazda3 about a month and I love it. It's a whole lot of car for the money. There's two things I'd really like to see on futuer ones:
1. Auto locking feature on the power door locks. My other vehicles had a feature where the doors automatically locked once the vehicle reached a pre-set speed (9 MPH).
2. The satellite radio antenna intergrated into the base of the regular antenna. I was given the sat radio because it was already installed on the car. I don't know if this is SOP, but the crappy-looking, after-market style sat antenna is mounted on the trunk lid. Besides looking pretty crappy, it loses the signal too easily. On moderately tree-lined roads (of which there are many here), the signal cuts in and out. My Mini's antenna base was a small shark-fin, which blended in, looked nice, and worked well. Come on, Mazda.
So, what geature do you wish you could have gotten on your Mazda?
