I had a 2007 Mazda 3 Sport which was a n/a 2.0 litre petrol. I think it was rated at about 150bhp and had a 6 speed manual.

Are these the one’s with twin fuel tanks?

So what are you saying here? Europeans don’t prioritize healthcare and education?

The Hdi engine is even better on fuel.

I’m a Brit and we use kms in the army, as well as metres, yet then still use yards...wtf. Oh, and the vehicles have kms on the odometer, but then have mph on the speedo. It’s almost like not knowing what gender we are. 

I’ve had a 406 HDi 90 (bhp) and I wouldn’t call them upscale as they competed with the likes of Ford Mondeo’s, Vauxhall Vectra’s and the like - basically fleet cars and middle of the range family cars.

Did the UK car sales include leasing or just pure sales?

I have a degree in town planning, I love cars but I also agree that personal car use should be banned from city centres.

What have the swapped the diesel tanks with, a jerry can?

Pah! Electric post vans? It’ll never catch on...

Supposedly this is something they have been working on.  

I was going to say this. My old Ford Mondeo TDDi estate has a quick clear windscreen. Just press the button and it de-ices a windscreen like magic. Simple, effective and no need for heated wiper blades.

Apart from the ‘Americas’there is very little global appeal for these vehicles, diesel or not. 

The hilarious thing is that it is considered a ‘poor’ choice for buying a car. Therefore, if you buy a regular car you just cannot afford the SUV/Truck. Rather than, I don’t want a huge SUV/Truck, I would rather just have a car.

I meant, I doubt these have any appeal anywhere else in the world. They’re not a global vehicle such as the Prado. 

Which smaller 4 cyl cars won’t get 33mpg highway? 

Where in the rest of the world?

You guys will tell yourselves you need security for anything. Why so panicked? 

Yeah but which EV car was it?

People say it looks absurd, I just think all of the run of the mill cars look basic.
