Did you max out the spring on full load? I had 5 ppl in the car, no luggage, at 90 km/h drove over a bridge on highway and the spring maxed out and really bump the whole car

I noticed a light whistle on really humid/foggy mornings. My guess is it's the antenna moving through the water vapor. Only happened a couple times.

I too, assumed it was a Festiva, but this one actually had a Mazda badge. I even wondered for a moment if someone had just added it, then I remembered that they were the same.
As for maxing out the load - I did not notice any suspension bottoming-out. The bumps and potholes we encountered were no different loaded or with just the single driver. I wouldn't call the suspension luxuriously soft or anything, but it handled our weight just fine. As for the luggage . . . well . . . we both carry a fair bit in our "better than six-pack" abs (large kegs).

What's the max for total weight ? Is that not posted on the pillar with recommended tire pressure ?
I've no idea but apparently it did not handle weight well, when I loaded with 4 adults the suspension will hit its max and bump the car on uneven road when driving at 100 km/h, there's not even potholes or holes on the road. Moreover I grind my bumpers trying to get over the speed bumps at 3 km/h!!
