Took delivery on Saturday and had a chance to go through the vehicle a little bit. The real test will be in the field beginning on Tuesday.
1. Under the hood is well laid out. There are 2 engine grounds right on top, so if you need to add extra equipment the ground is right on top instead of on the fender under the battery.
2. The air cleaner also has easy access right there in front. Maintenance should be easy.
3. The interior is also laid out well. The dash is at an angle making components easy to read. The sunvisors each have extenders. It's nice.
4. The sunglasses holder at the top of the windshield is too small.
5, The car also rides tight. It's not too hard and not noisy like some others say.
I like the car better than the 2013 CRV it replaced. The Honda rode like a bathtub and the seats will crush your spine, but it was very reliable. Hopefully, the Mazda will provide 150k trouble free miles too.
