I’m a 3-time new Mazda purchaser and recently attempted to pick up a leftover ‘18 Mazda 3. It was the least pleasant attempt to purchase a vehicle I’ve ever had, and I ended it all without closing the deal. I experienced every shady pre-arrival technique, and when I finally got a somewhat straightforward quote from a…

If you watch it muted it looks like they are fleeing the scene of a murder.  The bloody pants are a nice, effective touch.

I’m pretty sure the grass on this guy’s plot is going to grow really well.

I can’t believe the article didn’t touch on the hackers/cheats. The game is rife with them. They were employing hacks in the game on literally the first day. EA asks users to report cheaters, but it’s just too time consuming and soul sucking. While the game is free, people are still spending real money, so where is…

I would have, but Mazda went smaller while the world keeps getting bigger. And while I do fit the last generation, I don’t fit the newer one.

Depending on the vehicle this actually can be a thing. Some 4wd/awd cars are sensitive to differing tire diameters front to rear or left to right. Differing sizes can cause binding in the drivetrain, and vibrations as a result. I think the old Mazdaspeed 6 is an example. I believe some manufacturers actually specify…

Yep, those Veilside cars were pretty outrageous. This one was over the top too:

“a new floating kind of going”.  Love that!

It’s called the pee-pee flap:

On the topic of seats, why are we still on the on-size-fits-all model of automotive seating?

That looks like the express train to Brownsville.  Get it....cuz of the poop, you see, the poop.

I bet it runs on a combination of Axe body spray and hair gel.

This take is WRONG. I’d much rather my shifter be coddled by supple sack than by douche dispenser.

I would like this noise playing on a loop in my coffin...

Similar for me, except the car was mom’s. Makes me wonder what kind of mind fuck it would be to drive a RHD one as an adult.

“The people who were in the van actually belong to the cat.” 

First, if you live in an area with comfortable nighttime temperatures you need information: get a digital thermometer with an indoor and outdoor sensor. This will tell you when it’s right to open the windows. It’s got to be about 3 degrees cooler outside before it’s worth it. Then, just opening the windows is not…

S, M, L, XL and XXL seats should be mandatory.

I, for one, have never encountered a digitless farmer. If I do, am I supposed to make a wish?

I echo the concerns about the DCT. I have a ‘17 Veloster Turbo and the ECU/TCU programming is atrocious. It surges when it should be smooth, it’s constantly fiddling with timing and boost and too frequently cuts nearly all power output. It’s something I hope a journalist could raise with Hyundai representatives…
