Car and Driver says manual is available with the front wheel drive version but not with AWD. That’s SOP with Mazda though.

These were zippy cars. This one time on private road/closed course/it was a holiday anyway I got the four door up to 153 mph.

I got mine up to 120 on a road that I had no business going that fast on. I miss having that power to pass on the highway whenever I wanted.

2013 Camaro SS (not my pic above, just the same model). I really like my car but I have a feeling it gives off an immature look. In fact, I think the majority of compliments I've received have come from children. I'm in my 30s and should probably have something more practical. Leaning towards the Cybertruck, when it comes out.

I found 90% of the complements I got on my G35 were from dudes, women didn't seem to give a poo poo.

How’s the Mazda Turbo? I haven’t driven anything with it yet. They’re putting it in the AWD 3 hatch for 2021 and I’m real interested.

i mean it's not "fast" but there's very little lag and it's smooth, and the 6 at least pulls over 300 torque so i don't have any complaints. it certainly doesn't feel as slow as it may be.

also, the reason i didn't buy the signature is because it has a different camera (a 360 degree thing) that has such a hilariously low resolution you can't see anything. any other difference between it and the grand touring reserve is so minimal it didn't matter.

Yeahhhhh. Yeah. Mine was dented, had ruined paint that was 19 different shades of brown, but I made it into an insane go-kart that was absolutely glued to the pavement. Still, there were twenty things broken on it at any given point.



and I still miss it.

Currently AWD, which is FWD most of the time. I've had all manners of drives and transmissions except hybrid and the 4X4 on the new V70CCs (which I hope to change) because as I pointed out in my original post I am afflicted with crippling dorkism.

Hello Commandos
I drive a Mercedes CLS, it's the model above the E Class, it's like a 4 door coupe, 4 seats, it rocks, I posted this in a car thread somewhere else:

I can't get a pic at the moment because lockdown means my car is tucked away and a bit grimy but last year I got one of these:



Merc CLS, I really like it. It does stupid funny things like when you unlock it the headlights fade in blue to greet you, I am simple guy I guess.
The seatbelts also hug you when you plug them in.
These things are important to me.
More seriously it is an awesome car, fast enough for me, flappy paddles and three gearbox modes. It the most comfortable car I've ever had easily and to me it looks amazing, like a 4 door, 4 seat coupe.
It even parks itself, which is odd.

Looks like this inside



It eats miles and has been a real fun car so far

Honestly rhe headlights are the best bit I think, they follow the road, and when you come to a roundabout they open a 'light curtain' so they spread both ways, apparently they hook into the sat nav to do this

My fifth and last ICE car. 1997 328i 5-speed. Lots of fun to ride, easy to service and entirely offline with no concept of center console software updates or anything like that. Offloaded it in 2016. Now I live in a well-connected city and work from home so I don't need a car and so I just ride a bicycle. My next car when I leave the city will be an E36 again but an electric conversion project starting from a donor coupe model with nice interior and a busted engine.

I used to have a 1972 Plymouth Duster. Everything about it was broken and when you turned the engine off it would keep idling for about two minutes after you stepped out of the car. I miss that piece of crap.

My headlights were messed up in the wiring like they'd turn on and off randomly sometimes and I was driving behind someone on a lonely pitch black country road one night and they started doing that and I think I really freaked that person out because they suddenly gunned it and sped off. Sorry person, plymouth wiring bad. I was not in your back seat the entire time.

don't currently own a car.
