True story, I think that it’s funny that people buy trucks when gas is cheap instead of doing it when gas is expensive and trucks are cheap. I got mine in 2008 when you couldn’t find a prius for sale and tundra’s filled dealer lots as far as the eye could see.

The wiper defrosters are available on a lot of cars but they aren't made available in the western states usually.

I for sure thought the replies would be offers to exchange sexual favors and/or organs for a chance to drive the acr.

I really like the way you characterized the volvo as not a luxury car but instead a really well made regular car. I'm very excited to see what volvo does in the future. It seems like Volvo and Mazda are two of the hardest working auto makers with some of the coolest products.

You’re not wrong about feel not coming from weight. From what I have expierenced with the F30 the steering feel and overal package of the car was really disapointing in contrast to the experience of the e90.

I’ve had the 3.20 and 3.28 as loaner cars when my e90 335 is in the shop and they don’t have the steering feel of the e90 or the interior material quality. I will admit that the turbo 4 isn’t that bad and the 8 speed auto box is fine but not that engaging in manual mode and revs the engine more aggresively then I ever…

I get that BMW made this thing drive like a Camry because that’s how you pay the bills. But it’s sad that they used to make the best drivers cars and now nothing they make is interesting or innovative. Worse, the interior of the F30 sedan can’t touch the quality that you find in a Lexus IS or Audi A4. So if the…

I think one year they made an r8 out of a GT86. It might have been a different group of students though.

I think they called it the cx-3 instead of cx-2 because they don’t plan on selling the 2 in the US. Also it’s priced a bit higher then the 3.

I drove a manual 3 s touring hatch and the visibility was great. Not quite what I have in my 08 vw rabbit but I felt comfortable driving it. I have also driven the manual and automatic mazda 6 sport and I liked both of them. The Mazda auto box is perfect and even though I am a save the manuals type I wouldn’t mind the…

I hate this all touch headunit that honda has been stuffing in their cars lately. It doesn’t respond to touches quickly and makes doing anything with the radio really annoying especially while driving. Other then that I’m excited to find out how much it will tow.

Minus that one time a gentleman and his small dog perished a few hours after the battery in his Corvette did. Although the Corvette does have a lever on the floor to open the door which makes that story much sadder.

I had the pleasure of driveing a manual diesel Meriva and some how really liked it. The seats were hard and flat, the stick shift wasn’t in quite the right place and the diesel was gutless compared to the golf and truck that I normally drive. But the suicide doors were the best.

Toyota likes to make money without spending it. Thats the only bumper design that fits the shape of mazda headlights and kinda, sorta, not really looks like something Toyota would do.

People still flash their highs at me in my tundra; with fogged over headlights. I found that most toyotas have blinding headlights that never seem to burn out.

A 2 year old loaded mazda 3 hatch is like 2k more then this.

It's the south African version of the mrap.

Looks better then the lexus gx that inspired it.

It’s the radar unit for the active cruise control and not running over people bits. They used to be a round plastic thing slotted into the lower grill but I think it needs to be front and center for not running people over. Mazda does it too but it’s harder to tell.
