I totaled my '16 Mazda 3 S GT 6 speed last year and haven't missed that wheezy, inefficient thing for a second. I want to love Mazda, I've had a few Miatas, and my dad had his FD Rex until this year. But their current engines are awful.

Well, if you are buying an SUV for speed, you're doing it wrong. You're stuck with the Trackhawk, GC SRT, turbo Porsche or maybe the X5/6M then. Unless you want older then toss in the TBSS, but be ready to put a trans in at some point. I agree that, outside the Miata, Mazda sucks right now. They need a new Mazdaspeed model.
