I've had a 2016 Mazda 6 Touring MT for just over a year now.
I love the car, but I do do sometimes feel like the computer has more control than I do. For example,I find it almost impossible to rev match when downshifting because it seems virtually impossible to "blip" the throttle. A quick press and release of the throttle (even all the way to the floor) results in an engine speed increase of only a few hundred RPM, and that with significant delay. Getting the throttle response I want seems to take way too long on the throttle.
Also, I rarely seem to get a smooth shift between first and second unless I stay on the clutch longer than I would in other vehicles.
Just curious if anyone else if having similar experiences in their Mazda (or other vehicles)?
Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic for the days when throttles had cables and there were no computer chips second-guessing you or the machine!
