Genom 11-04-2003, 09:37 AM Big yes. About 16 times :D MazdaManiac 11-04-2003, 09:53 AM I had already read it cover to cover BEFORE I bought the car. I have since re-read most of it and I am constantly picking sections in a semi-random fashion to ensure that I know all the details. I will do the same with the shop manuals when they arrive. eccles 11-04-2003, 10:38 AM Cover to cover, baybee, both before and after taking delivery. Why anyone would take delivery of a high-tech piece of machinery like this and not RTFM is beyond me. Rick 11-04-2003, 11:27 AM I flipped through the pages cover to cover. If I question something(navigation system), I search the manual. Haze 11-04-2003, 11:38 AM I read it cover to cover which took me a little while. The damn things get bigger every time I buy a car. I was also very amused with the warnings. They sounded like advice from Hagakure's "Way of the Samurai". It really put me in the mood of having bought a quintessentially Japanese car. COOL! MEGAREDS 11-04-2003, 09:44 PM There's a manual? bobclevenger 11-05-2003, 12:47 AM Yep. Online before I bought it, and on paper after. I knew more about the car than the salesman did! MyRxBad 11-05-2003, 10:18 AM I totally agree. My car is on order (for Mar/April) and I've already read it once.

Damn, you beat me to it! rxeightr 11-05-2003, 09:00 PM Lookin' kinda lop-sided. Cover to cover here too. jtimbck2 11-05-2003, 09:50 PM I can't say I've read it cover to cover...it's a freakin' REFERENCE book, not a novel! ;) But I have consulted it several times. WayneOsWorld 11-05-2003, 09:58 PM I read it, but I still learned a few things here in the forums. Hymee 11-07-2003, 01:07 AM Originally posted by Haze I was also very amused with the warnings.

You mean there is other stuff in there other than warnings! I was disspointed it didn't have full instructions on performing drifting manouvres, as per the brochure... Wasy 11-07-2003, 02:48 PM You can't operate the navigation system without first spending time with the manual! matt 11-07-2003, 03:11 PM I opened it only to look at the maintenance schedule. That was it. |
