I understand Aus reduced some of its import duties and Mazda dropped prices on some models accordingly - this ring any bells with you guys?

Yup!

here's a question - am I the only one that gets freaked out when cars with xenon lights drive towards you? I find it quite disorientating, not unlike being under a strobe light. a hell of a lot of fun but not when you are driving towards it

I understand what you mean - I occasionally get startled by an oncoming set of xenons.

However, as the driver of a car with them, I know that I may startle the odd driver but at least I've woken them up and they've seen me! ;) Always harder to hit something if you know it's there.

Haven't read all the thread but we over the shaky isles are still a wee shade better off than Aus. On road is about 2-3k less in our peso's than aus, then deduct 10% for exchange rate and it's looking pretty good.

Only one spec and that's "cow enchanced" or "handicappped" depending on your preference!!

Personally I likee the "mans washbag" look to quote Topgear! And the bulk of the extra weight is not the electric seat or Bose Subbie....it's me!!
