Mazda is a smaller company, with excellent engineers that do a lot with the more limited resources they have. I have driven both the 2.0NA and 2.5NA from Mazda, and they are both nice engines, but agree that a smaller turbo, like the 1.6T from Hyundai, or the 1.5T from Honda (minus the oil-gas dilution) would be great. The new Mazda 3 was designed with Skyactiv X in mind, and not the 2.5NA, which may be one of the reasons behind the lackluster sales. Hard to go premium when Mazda is powering it with a buzzy 4-cylinder, with a torque peak that is way too high at 4400 rpm's.
