I owned a C30, and have driven a number of Mazda 3's. There is quite a bit of difference between all the models (Mazda 3, C30, and Focus). Stepping from one to another, you’d be hardpressed to find a definitive similarities, unless you start looking at suspension part numbers. All 3 had wildly different motors,…

I owned a 2011 C30 R-Design 6-speed. It was a good car, but it was not “fun.” The suspension was too soft to be sporty, there was ZERO feel in the clutch, I never got better than 24 MPG at any point, and the motor mounts were the softest things ever (I could feel the motor rocking hard under acceleration). Also the…

‘85 Woot Woot

Is the guy giving you the finger through the windshield?

Woof. From the one picture, it almost seems like the front door is too small, and access to the rear is going to be atrocious even with the half door...

The car not found

It was the heart of the Malaise era people...the V8's made very little power. If you’re THAT worried about power, head on down to your local junkyard and snag some late 90's Explorer heads GT40P’s if I remember correctly, a cheap dual plane intake, and a Brawler carb and you’ll be doing just fine. Check the…

Boo

Wife and I just bought a new fully loaded CX-5, and it’s definitely the nicest interior of a car I’ve ever owned (although that’s not saying much). I came into this article prepared to be the only one suggesting the CX-5, but I’m glad you were here to do it. It has really impressed me with quality so far. Lots of…

Every single mechanic, and even GM mechanics say, STAY THE F AWAY FROM THE ENCLAVE/TRAVERSE/ACADIA...maintenance nightmare

The idea is to NOT be noticed. Something that’s going to start when the going gets tough and be able to slink away into anonymity.

It does look very Toyota-y

I was just thinking...are Mariota’s flaws better or worse than Trubisky’s and would it benefit Chicago to take a flyer on Mariota this offseason since they already seem to be tiring of Trubisky? But then Mariota’s issues ARE Trubisky’s issues. Inconsistent thrower? Check. Unable to make reads? Check.

The Dolphins organization contribution to the effort

Very cool story, and a killer deal for this guy. Hope he can return it to glory

There’s a reason the LS swap is so popular...find me another engine that has the power potential in that small of a package, for the price point.

I mean, the the OG ZR1 did exist well before this...

Ford has invested millions into Rivian...I have a hard time believing the Ford is scrambling to catch up, but rather is investing in a manufacturing partner

The best and alternatively worst meme of 2019

Oh yeah, I got what you were layin down. Just wanted to add my .02, and kudos on the CORRECT answer. I really liked the “rawness” of the SS...the drivetrain felt immediate. But it’s hard to duplicate a torquey NA V8. Those LS3's were a treat.
