"we hit a blinding rain squall and within seconds the fwy had several inches of rain and in sport with elevated rpms it stuck like glue as I threw a hydrofoil-like wake and powered thru it -pretty dang amazing the AWD i-active sense when its put to the test -There was no other vehicle even close to keeping up"
I would not advise anyone to drive in Sport mode in several inches of rain.
You would be risking your life and your passengers along with those drivers around.
Good drivers know to slow down when conditions require not speed up.

- Regardless maintaining a constant speed with higher rpms - say going 45 in 6th gear at 1800 rpms does not provide the same control that going 45 im 4th gear at 2800 rpms does ( sport holds the rpms up ) and I have extensive professional driving experience - so thanks mom -and im quite certain you would not be in my car -
Backseat drivers cause more accidents than all other interior distractions combined - You still have that Mazda GLC ? I liked those
- ZOOM F-ING ZOOM -
Have a great labor day weekend !

Yes - What qualifications do you have to dispense driving advice ? My guess none -

I hate to ask but out of curiosity what "extensive professional driving experience."

Smart drivers, especially professional ones, know enough to match their speed with the road conditions.
Most states reduced speed limits in adverse weather that effects road conditions.
Not certain why you feel the need for juvenile sarcasm, it indicates no sign of professionalism at all.

This forum does fine and will continue to be the best information source of factual experienced and empirical information second to no other Mazda forum covers the same model currently on the www.
We would hate to see you go but you won't be missed.
