Maybe someone needs to hear this. Engine coolant is kinda delicious and very nasty stuff. Don’t have your dogs around when you’re replacing your thermostat.

If that’s your benchmark, then the world lost its way in 1997.

Will get. Not will only be.

The fact that Mazda of all companies threw touchscreen climate controls in this car is utterly mindboggling and needs to be called it out with absolute impunity by the car community and car journalists. Why, WHY after spending so much money and time on designing the least distracting interiors in the industry…

Review scores are a meaningless metric, obviously, and Metacritic is a blemish on games criticism, but even those numbers—a 36, alongside a 4.9 user score—are pretty hard to deny.

People judging cars made 30 years ago differently than ones made today isn’t as insightful as you think.

It’s definitely not gonna be this one. This is the worst new EV I’ve seen in a long time.

As someone who has had multiple cars with auto HVAC, you still adjust it all the time.

most cars have auto HVAC. That’s not an excuse. I should be able to adjust the climate super easily whenever I want. It was a non issue for 50 years, so why is that being taken away now? Also, even with automatic climate, touchscreens are still annoying.

That red color Mazda has been using lately is FUCKING GORGEOUS

100% honest story with zero bullshit. Thank you for writing this.

This is a good argument for jughandles but I think the biggest issue is that since they aren’t the norm in a majority of the country, they are very confusing for many people who usually consider the left lanes for turns.  But I guess jughandles to eliminate slower drivers from clogging up the passing lane while…

Agree. Only downside is that you actually have to drive in the slow lane. 

What about tailgating slow-pokes in the left lane to encourage then to get in the correct god damn lane?

You utter child.

“Compared to a normal year, they also calculated that the pandemic had led to a 17.5% to 20.2% increase in parental deaths.”

A hell of a lot less than 40K

if that’s the case that is fucking unacceptable. Indicators are the last thing that should be moved from a physical control to haptic touch buttons.

I propose crowd-sourcing traffic violations. Here’s how: every vehicle gets a paintball gun. Drivers who identify poor driving behavior can shoot the offending driver’s vehicle with one paintball, like a downvote. Once your vehicle accumulates sufficient paintball downvotes, you lose your license.
