“The engine is aided by some great sidekicks, the first of which is the 850RE eight-speed automatic, which is basically a Chrysler-built and calibrated version of the ubiquitous ZF eight-speed design. It is, as on other cars, lovely, shifting quickly, smoothly, quietly and at the right times.”

Another post indicated a good Mazda dealership and since you shop here in the NJ/NY/PA area, let me say that Faulkner Mazda in Philly area was good. They low balled the SHIT out of our trade in (another Mazda) but did maximize the incentives that both me and the sales guy missed but sales manager came out to flag for…

As a 18/19 year old in a band, our other guitarist bought a new Golf Rabbit (5th gen when they brought the Rabbit emblem back) and I immediately fell in love with it. Held his guitars, amps, and was comfortable. Plus it was new (I was driving an 89 Buick Century at the time) and a 5 speed which made even more…

I was confused as well.

The Camry is still a full second slower than the A35 to 0-60 and A35 has AWD. Camry isn’t beating it off the line.

Man, reading these stories makes me feel bad for a lot of you.

Interesting fact I didn’t know! Although by turbo I meant the KLZE swappers started also adding FI to their Probe GT swapped cars. IIRC after swapping in the KLZE + new intake there was basically no room left under the hood.

I’m on my third Mazda (4th technically) being a mix of the 3 and 6 over the years. I’m excited to see the AWD and the improved quality/shift further upscale. Really looks like they are competing (and beating at least in luxury orientation) with Subaru and possibly eyeing Acura.

NP. Runs and drives and the engine was quite reliable.

Noted and it’s why I asked. I didn’t think you did mention that. Someone else did to me (mention shareholder value should be completed abolished) and I can’t picture how that would work. Not everyone is so altruistic that they’d be OK busting their ass for a something that doesn’t benefit them in some way.

Do you believe that it has changed with Trump though? Legit question as I’d argue Trump is way more aligned to the values of a free market than Obama was. Heck, he literally quotes that type of thing when whacking some of Obama’s policies. I’d argue Trump’s entire budget is neoliberal.

To take a stance, as with all…

Teessss dies of Dysentery and millennial hatred in this thread.

You’re associating my personal beliefs with a statement about the general public. Whether or not I believe in doing that isn’t relevant to the concept. The statement still stands; if it wasn’t true we wouldn’t have this situation in the first place.

Exactly.

I’m calling BS on this entire article. When I get a moment I’ll dig through my university’s library but the fact that one law professor can’t find this in a corporate value statement doesn’t make it true.
I’ll say this, I graduated HS in 2002. I’ve went on to get my AA, BSBA, and MBA; all in business. Guess what I was…

This feels overly complicated. I get that the things the system may do when it detects distractions may help realign behavior but we’re not locked into that system. People will ignore it, get a new car, or do a work around eventually. I like it for drunk driving though.

Just had two Coke Zeros, a salami and olive loaf sandwich, and some buffalo ranch pringles. I’ll top that off with a night session of deadlift day at the gym + a dog walk and possibly a cigar.

I can’t go look the system up but I assume there are other conditions besides turning that engages the rear wheels, correct? Like slip detection, possibly even weather detection?

Mazda’s been messing with us for years with this shit. Mazda Mazda3..

I was really hoping you were linking to this
