Some of those cars drive amazingly well.

You are right..for the money there is not much out there that will run with that.

But..do they have to make them so goddamn ugly!


to the original question..I'd take it out on a track for a couple of laps. But that would be it.

I find it funny he comes here to talk shit behind his "buddy's" back.

not a fan but nothing wrong with that car. lots of power compared to the price

I kinda like the Miata's, my wife drives this

You have wantanbe rims on your miata? Pretty sweet, jdm tyte y0!

i considered one of those for me

since i have no small penis syndrome, i totally would drive a "chicks car" :winkwink:

My best friend has one, flashed his ecu for a bit more boost (no other mods), and it is pretty damn fast. Reminds me of my old STI.

But I like this. I looks sporty.

The car looks like a freaking station wagon.

at least mazda doesn't call their wagon a *shooting brake* and describe it as sexy

i have learned that americans dont like station wagons while Europeans dont like pickup trucks

maybe its because it rains more over here? but we dont like our stuff to become wet :1orglaugh

And the cool thing about this car is you can add a supercharger or turbo fairly easy.. and tons of other mods that can be done. I do the mods, my wife drives it :)

Thats what they use here to transport corpses..

for those that didn't watch already :

i know - thats why i dont understand the negativity when it comes to station wagons nowadays

i'm going to guess marketing. the television tells us we need our station wagons jacked up a bit and called sport utility vehicles.

Very nice :)

My thoughts exactly

I love a nice wagon. That Mercedes is fucking ugly.

These weren't half bad, but didn't sell all that much. I see them around though.

i've owned several mazdas, my favorite was my 1996 rx-7 twin turbo but my 1st was cooler, it was a 1978 mazda cosmo, the 1st rotary powered car, i could make this fukcer backfire like crazy!

solid little truck.

mazda's are allegedly one of the most dangerous cars to drive

From some one in the ER. They are known a tin cans

"allegedly" said by a Chevy sales man or what?

I'll pass

I'd rather have a WRX wagon :thumbsup

I still love my kia K5. lol

A large part of the ugly fronts on cars now is having to have space above the engine for cushioning pedestrian impact to pass the euro ncap tests.

i would drive that car

The speed3 is turbocharged, hence why it's so easy to mod and get a lot of power out of cheap :thumbsup

This is very true really. Here where I live pick ups are constant; I can't remember the last time I saw a station wagon. When I see a station wagon of any kind I think "mom mobile from the 1970s / 1980s".

In Europe you see a pickup without 'Daves Gardening' (or other reason why you need a pickup) written on the side you think... knob.

even with the vauxhall and vw trucks?

Vauxhall is England only - if even available there

VW has the Amarok but i have seen maybe 5 in total since they launched

Pickups are less popular than Bentleys

(and really just used by gardeners)

gotcha, i was reading about this amarok a while back, looks cool to me, too bad it won't sell very many over there and they won't even offer it here. why bother.

Never come across them, seems to be mainly Nissans. I can appreciate knackered truck, dented, drivers seat a bit smelly on a hot day, mud on the floor.. But a shiny new one, that just gets used to drive to the mall/wallmart.. Bit like assholes with massive 4*4´s in the city who never take the car into the enviroment it´s meant for.

VW builds them mostly for south america - but they seem to do well there

the thing that always got me loling about those are the one with brush protectors on the brake lights! so they are going to be going so fast in reverse that they need guards over the brakelights? got it. :1orglaugh

i see now.

Cool car, would drive that anytime :)

Although I have a fully loaded Acura MDX just sitting in Canada (still), in Bermuda I drive a Mazda 2.

Bermuda is only 22 square miles with a maximum speed limit of 35 KPH (that nobody pays any attention to). The roads are very small and gas is fairly expensive here. Other than those reasons, it's funny how different the culture is here in the ex-pat community. There's none of the "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality here. I know partners in big reinsurance firms taking home multi 7 figure per year bonuses and driving $2500 150cc scooters. It's kind of cool actually. We often say Bermuda is like college but with a gold card.

For years I never understood the need for a truck either. I always had sports cars, and in the rare event we needed to haul something we used my wife's SUV. Until... I bought a truck. The moment we bought it, it became the most important car in the house. This morning I made a dump run with it.

A truck is a car with room for cargo.

See, I think that's awesome...

Why would anyone want to drive around in these little cramped supercars? if you want speed buy a god damn motorbike, if you want to go somewhere A-B then get something with big seats, stereo and quiet running.
