No power. Uncomfortable

Doesn't accelerate. Head hits roof (I'm 5'6"). Seat uncomfortable (hurts me all over). Very jarring on bumps. Noisy on road. Cumbersome music knobs. Statick radio and satellite sound. Crap speakers. Confusing how to turn off/on car, pkg brake, music. Random dash lights appear. Chirps distract more than help. Worst is it's slow acceleration. Blind spot at front corners (too big). Steering ferls jumpy, insecure. Worst is it's slow acceleration. Dangerous. Worst car I've ever owned.

Base Mazda. Dependable. 32 mpg combined. Not real powerful but excellent base vehicle. Road noise a slight distraction.
