I find this torsion beam setup is very stable, even too neutral while cornering. There is no way what you're saying is normal. I've taken corners at and above 70mph and its very stable.
Just want to mention that this is a compact sedan not a sports car. Nobody is expecting it to "take" any kind of corner at 70 mph...
To be fair, he said his '15 ES350 took the corner just fine. That said, the Mazda3 is 300 lbs lighter and I'm sure they don't use the same tires.

No I didn't say that. Someone else said about the corner. I was talking about curves on a freeway. Those are not corners.
I took a drive back at the curve I mentioned before and at 60 MPH the car started to swing slightly - so that makes it 10 MPH less than the Lexus. Minimum.
I agree the weight might be a contributing factor. It doesn't explain the fact that the Mazda6 handles that curve much better than Mazda3 and it is not much heavier.
I am not sure I would be able to take a corner turn at 70 MPH.
I never did that and I believe the speed at which I would overturn would be much lower than that.
Is your car a standard version? Are you sure it was 70 MPH?
