Maybe Mazda can start by offering the 2.5t in the 6 and cx5 here in Europe so they can actually compete with anything other than base engine germans in terms of performance.

Oh you mean like the brz 86?

It shouldn’t be much of an issue unless spain has some specific local laws. Per european law the car needs a certificate of conformity (coc) that each car sold in europe comes with.

Wasn’t this published at the beginning of the year already?

Let’s be real here, most local laws already mandate a max of 75db. Heck, even some racetracks have limits that aren't far off

Lol, take your bs somewhere else, you have a problem with your consumer protection laws, mandated 2 year warranty on electrical items and universal phone chargers too?

The problem is that a Z car with a 3.0l would sell like crap in europe and any other countries that have displacement-based taxation. Same goes for any of the other models with V6s that you suggested. They might work in the US but might not internationally

And a CVT

Nah, it’s a nissan model younger than 10yo, it will be drab and unimaginative with its main selling point being high discounts

High temperatures and usually crap owners that do a shit job at proper maintenance but still throw on some overkill performance parts

No, they’d just need to shoot some people with rubber bullets and throw some teargas, that will be enough to stop these internet warriors.

Why? So you can get pelted by whatever is chucked up by the front wheels?

Nice investment piece.

Nope, only rwd hatch is the outgoing bmw 1 series.

Yeah, to me this isn't a true hot hatch anymore, those are supposed to be affordable

At 55k it stops being a ‘hot hatch’ and it becomes something else.

How is an empty lane next to a congested one not exactly like real life? In fact, it means the AI is smarter than most drivers in my area because they manage to congest a complete three lane highway over a heavily used one lane off ramp

But in initial d they already bust a nut over the 86, at least the speedstars do. You're right for the antagonist crews though

Of course not, it's an American article, not a european one

Of course not, it's an American article, not a european one

If your commute is only 5 miles just use a f*cking bicycle to go there unless it's bad weather. That will help the environment a lot more than getting some fancy electric car to drive your ass over that puny distance every day
