Front lifts when you accelerate from stop position even the slightest acceleration (badly) *weight

You can hear the motor rev it's **** off. *weight (higher compression) but due to reduced weight you can really hear it.....worst motor noise i've on a new car.

Total car feels light especially on a windy day you can feel the wind throw you around.
Sounds like the springs and/or damper are too soft. Similar problem to the old 2003 Corollas.

As for the motor noise, I had the same opinion even for the 1st gen Mazda6. The sound of the engine revving just makes me cringe and I back off, fearing that I will hurt the engine by revving it too much. Total opposite of the Euro where when you rev it, it sounds like it is asking you to rev it harder and harder.
