Whats up with the current hate for Mazda (based on r/cars and their sales numbers)?  Mazda can do no wrong in my eyes and have been the best looking and fun to drive cars for a while now, yet clearly other people don’t feel this way.

The exhaust tips are really distracting.  No idea why they set it up that way.

I can’t believe these guys went to the expense of trailering and housing these and didn’t leave the factory plastics in place. The second one has some but the first has been completely removed.

Wikipedia disagrees with you. Which year do you own? There are definitely two distinct ACR models with one being awesome and one being meh.

ACR version was amazing.  Add to the fact that its close competitor the Cavalier was such a pile of garbage that the Neon felt like a well assembled vehicle.

Man, that front end completely changes how the Cayman looks.  I would seriously consider one with that modification.

That’s pretty cool.

I don’t usually like it when these bite the dust but man this thing is awful.  I don’t mind the color on the outside but the inside is ricey Honda levels of bad.

$5 says they overlay fake engine/motor whine sounds over top of the thing during an action sequence...

I think that the idea of asking people if they are “afraid” is somewhat misleading for a survey. I’m definitely not scared, but there are (as of right now) vehicles/companies I “trust” and ones that I don’t.  Scared of getting in their vehicle?  Not really.  I just don’t trust it will do its job properly.

Worth noting that despite the gibberish that can come out of the speaker, the headset is much clearer.

Smooth moves is such a fantastic game.  You can probably get a Wii cheaper than a decent copy of that disc...

One off racing series. All vehicles destroyed. No way to recover...

I think the bigger issue is how often do things need to be adjusted. Sure, pit, Neutral, and a few others are obvious situational use. How often does brake balance or steering angle get adjusted during the race? Overtaking and fuel should be easy. Clutch adjustment on the fly? Tire diameter? Do you need to change that…

Its the only part that matters.

Which ones came with the baseball leather stitching?

This. As long as you are familiar with the brand and know whats important you can score some deals with high miles. I’ve personally bought a Fit with 198k miles (and put 20k on it before it was wrecked), a 250k mile Civic (cheating, it got an engine swap) and another 290k mile civic which saw DD use for several…

This thing is a mess, looks like a Stinger and a Charger made a ricey love child.

We know its 180 kph, it still has nothing to do with why they picked that number.

Somehow I was expecting the article to go the other way.
