No one said it couldn’t be done. But if it was as easy as you make it to be, there’d be a lot more action and no complaints of the race being boring. Even some of the top drivers said it was boring... on camera!

All that’s required is ground clearance (which it has) and low range gear. It will scale Renaults, Prii, Hyundais, or whatever your heart desires. Even a lifted Jeep could do this.

It may have been more exciting when the cars were small enough to fit two or more cars side-by-side. With modern F1 cars, you could barely fit two. When there is no passing, it’s a parade. I don’t think there is anyway to fix this particular race without scaling the cars down. Maybe that’s what F1 needs overall.

Nice. Please do one for automatics under $1k?

It’s available in the higher trims. It is a TFT display measuring 7".

Again and again. The answer is no. People in this segment do not buy manuals. Not in numbers that would support a business case.

Time to use aftermarket rotors?

It won’t trample you to death. It has pedestrian idiot detection and automatic braking (in certain trim).

Officially it’s 227 with 87 octane.

They have to boost profit margins by going premium. Premium buyers have money and appreciate good design and engineering. Mass market buyers don’t have as much and don’t appreciate the depth of effort Mazda puts into every model. For mass market, good enough is enough (see previous Camry and current Hyundai…

Not really. It’s quite standard for Mazda. They call it continuous improvement. While other manufactures push out [phone in?] a car and call it good (cough FCA), as soon as Mazda launch a model they are already working ways to overcome compromises and make it even better.

Troll as you might, not gonna happen. AWD and diesel on the other hand... maybe.

Chalk it up to market pricing and manufacturing efficiencies.

And all other manufacturers doing the same (including Mercedes) gets a pass from you??

What I said isn’t about efficacy. But, yes, just like the third law of physics—every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is something American policy makers should know very well, IF they bothered to learn from history.

What?? no red window tint option?? That’s it. Not buying one.

Dickish? Ever heard of psychological warfare? You are talking about a Jewish state that sent its Mossad agents into other countries hunting down ex-Nazis and Islamic terrorists that were responsible or complicit in the death of its Olympic athletes. All not only for the sake of getting even. A clear message was sent…

What a waste of a human being.

That’s exactly my point. Two. Two media outlets with negative reviews to start the echo chamber. And everyone paying any attention is left with the impression that every 3 is a piece of shit. I have a co-worker who took delivery a month ago and have yet to encounter a single issue... and one flawless example doesn’t…

Counterpoint... It’s not like every single owner are experiencing problems. This is kind of like the online review phenomenon? Most people submit reviews because they have problems. The few legit negative media reviews echo off non-media negative owner experiences and the overall impression suddenly become something…
