The power came on too slowly and left quickly. It was faster then the Si, yes, but didnt feel faster. The steering response was mediocre at best, the clutch and shifter felt VERY notchy and the shifter was WAY to close to my leg. It was uncomfortable to shift the car.

Some may find it odd of me to say, but the car was too quiet. It just had the feel of the standard Mazda 3. When I told the salesmen this, he tried to brush it off by saying that all the extra cash was under the hood of the car, that it was not much different from the reg mazda 3 except for engine and suspension.

Was actually disappointed for a 33k CND car...
I agree on nearly everything you said. There was no roar to the engine. It feels boring. This is after months and months of praising the car, wishing the SI could be more like it. The only part I disagree with you on is that you think it doesn't feel faster. It's very torquey and feels a lot more powerful imo. Just a very boring kind of power. Like driving an accord or something
