AWD Manual Hatchback GT Plus Skyactiv-X Mazda 3? It just rolls off the tongue, and damn do I want one!

*satire alert* *satire alert* *satire alert*

But it’s ok, because they have a HE>i sticker in the back window of their car.

That’s not at all what Cavey is talking about.

right idea, wrong side. unless you are into that.

Dana’s queso looks like it was originally made in 2016 and she has just been reheating the leftovers ever since.

It’s been a while since I’ve had the car, but I want to say my RX8 had a cold idle around 2500 rpm. But, that was was nice, because if you blipped the throttle, it would drop the rpms down to it’s norm idle rpms.

I voted mixture, but it’s really like 85% tv, 15% handheld.

Though, even on the Premium, you can’t get eyesight with the manual. Not because I necessarily want eyesight, but that is what is required to get the upgraded, color lcd multifunction display on the dash and center console.

But Phoenix is a dry heat.

Exactly. Driving a manual Crosstrek currently. And while you *can* get a manual on the middle trim, that was pretty much impossible to find in my area, so to get the 3rd pedal, I had to give up every single option to get it. I still think I made the correct decision, but damn, I would have liked some of those…

While some modern cars may still have turbo lag, modern turbo cars have for the most part dialed that out, at least on the sporty/enthusiast models. My FoST had no discernible turbo lag, assuming I was in the correct gear. The MS3 I had before that was the same. Pick your gear, hit the throttle, and go, no waiting…

I’d be pissed, but HOLY SHIT! You can finally get a manual AND options on the same car, from the factory! Halle-fucking-lujah

That’s true, the FiST did as well, but it was only like 5ish torques more, so I’d call that equal hp/tq. At least stock. Put an aftermarket tune on the FiST and it becomes quite beastly.

Sure, but when do sporty cars have more torque than hp?

Went there for lunch today. And usually go 2-3 times a month. The one by work has lines out the door from 12-1:30 pretty much every work day.

Why? Because Mazda changed up the engine design with the Renesis, striving to achieve improve fuel efficiency and emissions. Part of that is a lower profile apex seal to reduce friction. Another issue was, changes to the OMP caused hot spotting on the center of the apex seal, which caused increased wear and early…

Never understood why this version edits out “crystal meth”

One thing that is an unknown, and could be a big factor in this, we don’t know if he had any negative equity on the car that died. A lot of used dealers that target less financially secure people will hit them with huge interest rates and will overprice the car and add on worthless/overpriced extras. Should people…
