It's not THAT old - it first made it into a car in 2013 (Mazda 6 and CX-5). At the time it was the most efficient four pot around but it's slipped now - 28mpg combined versus 30mpg for a 1.5T CR-V or non-hybrid RAV4.
It's a more refined motor than the Toyota 2.5 but not as nice as a K24. My parents have a first gen CX-5 and the drivetrain falls into "it's fine for what it is". The auto shifts better (smarter and smoother) than the 10 speed in my RDX.
