Thrilled with my used S Grand Touring Hatchback

I've owned both 1985 and 1993 Mazda RX7s and loved them. I am astounded that this four door S Grand Touring with all of the options only weighs 202 pounds more than the two door 1993 RX7 sports car! Amazing that they can pack so much luxury and features into this car and still keep the weight down. I like that you can manually shift the six speed automatic and with the stick or the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. When I need to bust out fast I hit the sport button and put the transmission into manual shift and it rocks. I don't miss having a manual transmission at all. The car is such a pleasure to drive with so many features to make me comfortable and safe. I'm loving the radar adapted cruise control and the reverse warnings. The Bose sound system is excellent and the interior detail reminds me of BMW quality with the leather. I'm 6 months into my used car experience and have about 58,000 miles on it. I replaced the brakes with the Power Stop Z23 Evolution kit (for about the same price as OEM parts) and it was a definite improvement in stopping power and brake feel. I've got the OEM roof rack for surfboards and if you fold down one back seat you can stack snowboards back there. The Android Auto integration makes a big improvement over the stock system so that is well worth it if you have the choice. The car feels great to drive so I am thrilled with my car and now I like road trips again.
Disappointing gas mileage

The car is beautiful and fun to drive, but I haven't gotten near the advertised gas mileage, and that's the main reason I bought the car. I went for a 6 cylinder SUV to this, and the average mileage isn't all that much better. I even took it back to the dealer thinking something was wrong with the monitoring system, but they insisted it was accurate. I am lucky to get 29 MPG on the highway. I have also had issues with the Infotainment system - similar to those published by others in various forums - GPS system all of a sudden fails, doesn't recognize commands, fade has to be set all the way to the rear to get any sound out of the rear speakers.
