Our cleaning lady at work was all excited one day, telling us how her husband just picked up a new Jeep.  She was like yeah, it’s all tall and a 2 door.  Walked out to look at it... 2 door Tahoe.  

Buddy can’t bust em! 

I know all of this.  I hate the sedan version, hatches are just so much more practical when you go with a small car.  I had a brand new 2012 Touring in Green back in 2012.  I did my part back then.  Been waiting for Mazda to do theirs.  I almost bought the Yaris hatch version, but no manual option.  So the hunt…

Huh. I was thinking of space for passengers.

Mazda CX-3 Compared to the Mazda 2 it was based off of. 

I would have bought the Yaris hatch with a stick as well.  I am going to talk to my dealer about trying to get me a proper KODO 2 from PR.  He said he might be able to do it last time. 

I would put Mazda in a similar regard as Toyota with Reliability and Durability, outside of the Ford majority owned years.

I wish we had gotten the DJ here in the U.S.

The dead Yaris was easily the best toyota sedan of the past decade though.  

I love mazda, I really do, but sometimes I really can’t stand their decisions.  I wanted a KODO 2 hatch in the worst way.  I still need to bug my dealer to see if they can get me one from PR. 

Got a link to the AWD manual 3? 

The worse part is that the 2.3L Ecoboost comes with a dual mass flywheel.  It will probably feel just as disconnected as a torque converter. 

I’ll take a base 2 door manual trans in green.  4 cyl preferably.  

I made taco dip over the weekend, with the smoky chipotle ortega sauce.  It is always a fan favorite and it didn’t heat up the house cooking. 

The one vehicle in their lineup that doesn’t follow the current design language.  I do like that one.  

I’ll take a larger grill over a droopy melted looking butt.

2ND GEAR:

I just don’t find the current Mercedes styling appealing.  

I never said it was a powerhouse, but they handle very well stock. 

how much?
