I was in a center lane with my indicator on going to left, a car from right most came behind me then zipped past in the left lane - My initial reaction was - what a prick.
Went home and verified - the rear turn signal location is pathetic - more so if you live in a sun shine state like Texas - not sure how bad it is for GT but for Touring - that mini bulb location and brightness is awful.
Stand directly behind the car and you wont even see the blinkers, turn the left blinker on and step right by a foot - now you wont even know if the car has indicated that it will be turning left.
People cry about power lift gate, you are not gonna die if you dont have one. But safety is something else. Very poor from Mazda. Look at a lot of other CUV designs from back - they have accommodated this very well. And on Touring that small red triangle which is part of rear light is a joke at night. It is so dim.
