Maybe he realized he was becoming a snob or something.


edit: after reading brewsky's quote it appears he liked the principle of a cheap fun sports car then but just dislikes the car... who knows...
soft from the factory is correct but then you look at other reviews (and my experience which isnt a big deal since i admit im biased) and you see people like pobst saying that once the car settles, its nothing but precise. all that aside i think what mazda did was genius. a softer car from the factory means a larger market. plus, enthusiasts are going to change suspension bits anyways. he absolutely does seem like a snob. i like my journalism to be without opinion and bias. sure its entertaining but it loses its objectivity
