I noticed something odd?

It seems slower and not as engaging. The steering feels unlike Mazda and is light. The sound is glitchy and at low rpm after a start the transmission is doing weird things in a spasm or 2.

Is this a difference in the trims? Is the meridian tuned differently? Or is this my imagination. It is quieter but the pickup and noise and heavy steering all are reduced. it feels more like a cx5 or Honda Accord than a fun SUV :-(
