Well done. A review style probably best suited for my generation (born '80s and up) but with references for older generations and relatable to all car enthusiasts.

That was an awesome and honest review. I showed the part about practicality to my friend who has ridden in the back a few times, and he agreed whole heartedly about that bit. :thumbsup:

Until I put the hurt down on a lot of big power cars on Daytona :)

I have the same exact Mazda 3 you described and boy it's a fun car. Mazda got the electro-hydraulic steering feel down brilliantly and the way the wheel jiggles with information is Porsche like (from driving a 997 Turbo).

Did you change the rear sway bar? I did do that and it was the single best mod I've ever made to any car I've owned.

Actually no. It definitely might have helped the roll though.

If you still have it and want to upgrade, I still have mine; Mazdaspeed3 26mm rear bar with nearly brand new MS3 endlinks. Willing to sell it cheap :) (just taking up space in my garage)

Awesome video jsooke. The guy is really nice and humble.

Not like that subaruwrxfan guy. Watching him makes me want to punch him in the face.
punch face

Well done review. And thanks for the info on Initial D. Been watching it for free on Crackle. Takes me back to the old days of growing up watching speed racer, except this is a little more real. And is actually how I feel driving the BRZ now.lol

Nice homemade review and journey which resume well the basic caracter of this car. Built to be affordable AND fun to drive!
Woohoo!

Really long with a ton of repeated info, but overall I did like it. Does do a pretty good job describing the car.
