One thing to note. You’d never see a CVT (poor reliability/listless to drive), on a Mazda. The Mazda engineers were very wise enough, not to join the “CVT Bandwagon” (i.e. Nissan, Subaru, Honda, etc).
I’m glad they don’t use CVTs but I wish they just used the ZF8 on the new RWD platform. It’s proven and dead reliable. They instead made their own transmission which isn’t as good and probably cost a lot to develop.

I mean CVTs are incredibly reliable if they’re in a Honda or a Toyota. This is a room temperature IQ take at best to treat CVT as a bogeyman lol
