As you mentioned, the Mazda 3speed.... I know it is a quick car, and is a bargain comparing to other cars with similar performance, but I would never buy one, just because it does not have any appeal to me, to my eyes, as I judge its design poor, so as its built quality, and not to mention engineeringly speaking, I don't respect them, and it not just because it is a FWD. I used to love the R7s, and for sure these are the last Mazda that gain my admiration and respect.

Just this morning, my wife said to me, "Porsche? You know that nice gentleman, WhiteThenGreyBRZ, the one who's always so thoughtful, considerate, polite and respectful? Why don't we buy him a new Mazdaspeed3 for Christmas?"

And I thought, "Why yes! Why not? What a splendid idea!"

But, now … never mind.

Good luck.

Full Definition of AGILE

: marked by ready ability to move with quick easy grace <an agile dancer>

Example
Leopards are very fast and agile.

Note that in the example fast and agile are distinctly separate qualities. This car IS VERY agile.

The cayman was benchmarked for handling. Did you think it would be as fast and agile as a cayman for half the price?

How did you find out it was a demo?

How many miles on it? How could you buy a new car with miles on it?

The troll thickens. I mean plot. I think.

Then just buy a damn turbo or supercharger. You will get your HP and torque. For about $5k you can get something like this:

They even have a tune for the automatic..

Is it me, or is overtaking other cars on the highway NOT an issue? Figure out the car's powerband... Then USE IT. Not every vehicle on the road can blow past people in 6th at 2500rpm's...


I say get rid of it. Let someone who appreciates the car take care of it.



I can't be the only nutjob who loves shifting from 6th to 3rd at 60mph...
