    Well done review from a great reviewer, bravo! Probably this is the sweet spot of the range of a well developed product. Simple is good, easily reliable and care on lightness and simple optimization do more than tech in this market position. The 2liter vs 1.2 is again a good remark, we need versatile car, reliable and stable in what they deliver on a broad use case.

Transmisija je odlicna i nikakve zamerke nemam. Doduse, kupili smo ga novog ali i ovaj u USA vec ima 30 hiljada milja i sve mu super radi.

      I've seen the translation, but it seems to be an idiom I do not understand.
      7:30 is actually quite late by my standards, but this was recorded in early March, so the sunrise is late. I already reached my pain threshold, and get up at 4:00 AM to start filming around 5:15. This is the best combination of light vs. no people wandering about. I seriously considered being on set always at sunrise, but that would mean getting up around 3 AM for a month or so, and I could do it to my partner, who's also my cameraperson. I really appreciate that she gets up with me at 4 from mid April until late August :)

    Pajacowanie. Tymczasem pamiętam test mazdy 6, w którym mówił Pan jaki to tapczan się zrobił. Mówił też Pan, że auto straciło charakter w porównaniu z poprzednią "szóstką". Tymczasem ja przesiadłem się z poprzedniej 6 na najnowszą szóstkę. Auto na początku rzeczywiście trochę muliło, ale po dotarciu (przejechaniu ok 5kkm) auto jeździ świetnie. Dziwię się też wszystkim ekspertom, którzy dziwią się, że wolnossące mazdy trzeba redukować i kręcić. No nie jest to auto, którym się wyprzedza na szóstym biegu. Generalnie mazdy jeżdżą świetnie i obecnie oferują najlepszą relację ceny do jakości. VW nawet nie jest blisko. I mówię to ja, człowiek, który bardzo się zapierał by nie wymieniać mazdy na mazdę. Ale jakość robi robotę u producentów z Hiroshimy.

      Some of the Japanese cars for the European market are made in Europe, like Toyota or Nissan. Toyota's diesel engines, and now hybrid drivetrains are made in Poland of all places. Nissan share tech with Renault, so the Micra has a 3-cylinder turbo engine. That makes them more affordable in the EU. Mazda is often suffers, because it is made in Japan, and therefore more expensive, and prone to currency exchange rate fluctuations.

      I don't know if/how you drive it outside the city. In city traffic it's just a matter of convenience. However if you like to drive a bit more enthusiastically, Mazda's auto just doesn't deliver. Or maybe it's the combination of Mazda's lackluster performance in general + the automatic gearbox. it is so easy to get used to those double clutch affairs.

    Test drove the cx 30 skyactiv - g 150, with aut transm. a few days ago - and it is lame. Floor the gas pedal and the only Thing which happens is - noise. It certainly does not accelerate...

    Bring back bigger 4 & 6 cylinder engines, and ditch turbos. All these so-called "efficiencies" have created poorly running cars which have limited refinement, and will not last the test of time. This is simply engineering to meet emission targets at the expense of driving pleasure and real performance is all situations. The engines available in Asia, USA and Canada are awesome compared to our feeble efforts.

      @@Gunzberg That is disappointing as reviews in USA and Canada reckon the new Accord is a fantastic car. Even better than the new Toyota Camry hybrid. The last version of the Accord sold in the UK (a long time ago) was very popular. This urge to go electric by 2030 is going to be a disaster for car people. May as well drive a fridge! lol :-)

      @@worrywart1311 In Australia maybe. But over here, mazda is made out of recycled material. Bodywork is paper thin. Torsion beam, underbody rusts within 3 years and fuel efficiency is nothing but a big lie, and spare parts are insanely expensive. On the other hand Audi is everything that Mazda isn't, better quality, more reliable, fuel efficient, spare parts are in abundance and reasonably cheap abd everyone can fix it. Audi A4 is a car that lasts forever. Currently I have one that is 19 year old with 320,000km on the clock 98% original parts.

I have owned several car brands but the only one that has never given me any trouble is Subaru, so I'm about to buy my fourth one in a row. (No rust in any of the three). If you keep a car for 19 years it is WAY out of date on safety systems and improvements.

      @@worrywart1311 I don't know, maybe the cars they sell on the other side of the world are well made. But here is different story. To be honest, I've been trying to convince myself to buy a new car ( new audi/VW), but no matter how mamy time I test drive new cars I am convinced that my 19 year old car is better. I have an Audi A6 2004. It has ABS, traction control, cruise control, automatic air-conditioning and a body that is made like a tank. And most importantly, it is extremely comfortable and there's almost o wind noise in the cabin. The car is very simple and I can repair it myself. It handles great and perfect car for long distance driving. Most importantly, it does not burn more than 7.5l combined every 100km which is amazing compared to modern cars.

      @@ardmrad9278 Yes I agree that is good fuel economy, especially these days. I don't service my own cars, so service costs and service attitude are important to me. In comparison with other Japanese or South Korean makes, Subaru is not cheap - but a lot less expensive here than most West European marques. However, their service and helpfulness is impeccable. In the rare event of a warranty issue they never quibble, unlike Mercedes and the like who prefer to fight tooth and nail to avoid accepting blame for anything.

    Mazda only extracted 150 horsepower from a 2-litre petrol engine. That would be acceptable for a Diesel engine, but not for a petrol engine.
    Ford managed to extract 155 horsepower from a 1-litre engine.
