So has anyone who has owned older Mazda noticed any major changes in feel, etc. Since Mazda attempted to move upscale in the market? Good/bad/meh?

    We have owned Mazdas from 2002 through 2023 model years. And I’ve driven a few 90s and maybe an 80s model. I wouldn’t say they have gone soft and upscale, I’d say they feel less cheap. And I don’t mean that as a knock against the older ones! The newer cars have vastly improved sound deadening, soft touch plastics, and genuinely nice interiors. I love the way a Protege drives, but my 4th gen 3 drives 95% as well and is a nice place to spend time.
