If those idiot OEM engineers would have given us 1000hp from the factory like we know these engines are capable of, we wouldn't have had to tune them!

That's now the Korean thing. Lobster N = :turboyaris:

You could actually build a "Mazdaspeed2" from a :manuel: iA pretty easily. A premium fuel tune with raised rev limit, 15x7 RPF1s with 23" tarz, and some coilovers would make for a pretty :fuckyeah: little car.
That would be :notbad: All that and an LSD :fuckyeah:

I mean I get that. Flat brim vapors tuning and blowing shit up isn't anything new. I thought you were trying to relate aftermarket tuning to gauge OEM reliability.

not at all, my angle was, that Japanese were just as good as blowing up as german cars, in the hands of the right people..

The Japanese have been pro level at blowing up stuff with motors since WW2.

I had a lot of fun on the Mazdaspeed 3 test drive. That car was a hoot. But horrific exterior and interior of the 2nd gens.

I just drove the :eeyore: iA. These cars are fun, even with the stock shitty tires and :jalepenis: 5.5" wide wheels. Quick steering, super responsive brakes despite being drums in the rear. Ride quality is certainly not luxury but no worse than the :wankel: or the 3. The slushbox works incredibly well and will ride the limiter in :manuel: mode instead of upshifting automatically. Downshifts are smoother and quicker than I can do with my feet. Solid 4/7 car. This one with 26k miles feels the same as the 52k mile one.

With some slightly better wheels+tires (put winters on the stockers) and a $100 swaybar it would be 5/7.

IMO their automatic is underrated. It's one of the best I've experienced.
