I've put just over 2000 miles on my 2016 GT in 5 weeks of ownership. I watched every Youtube video and read every test on this car before buying. These are my observations:
1. Noise - I don't find the wind noise or road noise bothersome at all. I can't understand complaints in this area. Maybe because my previous driver was a Mazda5 and I also have an MX5 my perspective is different. But, for a car that I paid $28,588 out the door I have zero complaints in this area.
2. Ride - I find the ride to be awesome. Just the right mix of comfort and sportiness for me.
3. Power - Yes, more power would always be nice but I'd rather have the efficiency the car gets. I have had no problems passing people when needed even when space was tight.
4. Exterior - Yes, it is a 4 door sedan and mid-size but I like the looks more and more. I have received many compliments on the car.
Interior - Stellar. The interior does nothing wrong in my opinion. I can't think of anything to change or improve upon. Maybe more color options but having a limited selection I'm sure saves money.
Overall, the car has exceeded my expectations. I knew it would be a step up from the Mazda5 but it is a huge step up. I feel like I'm driving $40k or even $50k car every time I drive it.
