Mazdaspeed3 + Motor Mounts = Goodbye torque steer.

Unless you’ve gone mad and modded into another 360wtq, then only DOT slicks can save you on the road.

Are the IS-F reliable and fun? When they came out I had hoped reliability would be their long-term advantage over competitors. The time has come for me to stay up all night infiltrating the IS-F groups and query.

Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like infiniti will ever come in stick shift flavor again, while BMW at least still has some.

To explain it better. In fictional or narrative film, 30fps is often known as the “Soap Opera” look.

So many times I’ve held a friend’s DSLR and saw they have 60fps on, because more is better.

Exactly,

AfterLife

370z is a dedicated 2 seater sports car. The Genesis coupe is more akin to a grand tourer like a G35/7 coupe, not bad for the first attempt at a rwd sports coupe from a foreign nation if you ask me.

Did you have a particularly bad experience with your MS3 then? I may be able to help. I would agree that the CX-7 was a clusterfuck of problems in any comparison sure!

I’d agree about the average person, but an enthusiast that knows something about a traction circle could still get around pretty quick. Let’s not forget the past Focus RS were high power FWD as well.

I’ve never heard “Chrysler of Japan” about Mazda, I would not associate Chrysler as being fun to drive either.

Yeah it’s crazy to think there’s diesel, awd, and hybrid versions of the 3 in other places.

So true. Everyones just calling out Mazda for more performance mazdaspeed cars. They are not the biggest company, in fact they’re one of the smallest US automakers that are just large enough to show up on a statistics report right now. Let them make some cash people!

Depends on the dealer for sure. My OEM turbo was smoking (like it will do eventually after modifications and pushing power). The closest dealer said they might do it, but only after inspection at my cost, and no guarantee.

Agreed, some cars are great after modding. If you plan to stay stock, there are better car options for that like the GTI you mentioned.

I’m pretty sure this guy got on MSF.org and got flamed off pretty fast.

I may have misread sarcasm or something.

Is Gran Turismo not qualify or just not universal as I thought it was?

It would be great to have the hatchback Demio like other nations get. Unfortunately the last Mazda2 did not sell well in the U.S. at all. I’m sure that’s why they’re banking on the CX-3 version instead, and so far it seems to be doing well for them.

I’ve never heard of the wagon discontinuation because of cafe. Seemed like it was just because of sales targets and reception. It’s definitely harder for a smaller company to provide as much variety and risk with the assets they have.
