Post 'zoom-zoom' era Mazda are a joke, they're on the trajectory of Honda, which was another great auto manufacturer who drank the koolaid and tried to emulate white goods pioneer, Toyota but badly failed.
As far as their sketchy in house developed transmission is, typical engineers trying to reinvent the wheel and fix something there's no problems with, should have just used the 8sp ZF box and be done with it.
