My first car was a ‘12 4-cyl auto sedan, and even with the auto it was a fun car for me. I even autocrossed it, yes it’s a boat but I have to say the suspension setup and steering were pretty impressive for what it was.

Maybe something like a 2-3 year old IPL 6MT Q60?

Were you blindfolded on a novacaine drip when you came to these conclusions ? I rented a 2016 Corolla for a week on vacation and compared to my 2015 3 it felt like I was in a Lada in 1986.

Glad to hear, I’ll check it out. I heard the FCA system isn’t bad either.

Mazda was smart enough to outsource their infotainment, but even those developers couldn’t get an image to display, it just tells me there’s a message and then says the message can’t be displayed.

Exactly. Personally I’m going Fiesta ST with a warranty on this one, but that’s not for everybody and I could totally see the charm of this car. Just make sure you have at least double what the car costs saved up for maintenance and rehab.

This car isn’t a car for someone with $8000 looking for the best GT cruiser. This car is possibly one of the best cars for someone with $18,000 looking for a GT cruiser. Why? Because I’m talking that dealer down to $6500 with a tank of gas, taking that thing to an Independent Merc shop that knows all the failure…

I think I’m speaking not only for myself when I say “Thank you mom for not disowning me when I got that speeding ticket after that other speeding ticket”

Yeah... So when are comparable upgrades going to be made to Japan’s modern version of the SBC, the VQ?
