Wow, 2.5" shorter in length than a Honda Fit. Looks interesting for city driving and street parking. Questions for me include: What (if any) autonomous safety features come standard, ground clearance, and weight.

Like the new exterior styling but that infotainment UI looks awful. 

Can’t see the front end, but looks like a boxier and less attractive Genesis.

Tons of great reviews out there for the 3 (see Savagegeese’s if you want a detailed look), but I’ll probably wait around for a second generation Skyactiv-G engine. I’m hoping for a small-displacement turbo, as Mazda seems to be one of the very few manufacturers still clinging to a standard 6 speed auto + naturally…

So... Honda Fit or the new 2020 Yaris? I’m still holding out hope Honda puts (at least some) safety equipment standard on base trims for the new 2020 model year.

Honda Fit weighs only 138lb more and yet it has 130hp.

Erik, does the Telluride require premium gas to get that horsepower/torque? Price shopping this with a CX-9, which is similar in weight but slightly smaller. Mazda has a smaller displacement engine which has less hp but much more torque.

It’s gotta be the CX-3, right? It’s the last vehicle to get their new design language. It’s a (small) crossover. Or yeah maybe scrap the CX-3 and bring over the 4 to the US since customers are all buying bigger vehicles now.

Nice write up! My only hang-up with the interior seems to be the over abundance of shiny black plastic material around the gear shifter area. Sure it may look good in press shots, but it’s impossible to keep clean, easily scuffed up, and just looks bad after a few years of use. Especially in an area you’re touching…

How is NVH versus past Mazda3? They substantially improved things in the Mazda6 and CX-5.

I think the new 2019 Santa Fe also has that Rear Occupancy alert. Must be a feature on newish Kia/Hyundai products

I still think the lack of a first party controller is mistake. Ask anyone who has ever bought 3rd party controllers in their life, and they’ll tell you how much they regret it. There’s a reason the 360 controller was so popular on PC, it’s because it’s really good and solidly built. Every iOS game controller I’ve…

Stephen, you can also pin Netflix and Amazon shows.

"Hey Toto, how about those contract negotiations?"

Where in the US is the Escort not legal?

I bought a generic waffle weave towel at Walmart with very good results. I believe this Meguiars is also a waffle weave, so I'd imagine i'd work well. I've never ben a fan of synthetic drying towels. Never given chamois a try.

Schumacher never won a WDC without Brawn. Can Vettel win without Newey?
