I do this all the time. The other thing is that the click is so faint I can barely hear it so I never notice it's on.

and that's why the very first thing i bought for my car is an AFE short shifter.

stew - i didn't know it was possible to aim the windshield washers, thanks.
Thx Mike. Didn't mean to get in anyone's face. I was just curious. I haven't driven many cars myself.

I think you can aim all windshield washers on all cars. Can be a lil' tricky and take a few attempts to get 'em as you like. I knew a guy who would point one straight up (missed the windshield completely) to squirt on folks tailgating on the free way.

BTW check out goldenstateofmind.com fellow warrior fan to keep up to date in the offseason

Minor complaint

The BOSE stereo is a big disappointment. Where's the bass?

Rearward visibilty is sad, not that we spend much time in reverse.

Otherwise, what a great car!

I need to amend my post. It isn't the door rattling, it's the seat. Guess I will fix that this weekend...and I now have no complaints with my 8. <3

I disagree regarding the Bose system. When cranked up to near max (30+) with a decent hitting song, the system really hits hard. I can actually feel it in my chest, like I used to when I had subs in my old car.

I for one am actually impressed by this system.

Omg.

Try a more pure sports car then, like the S2000. You'll love that rear visibility.

Blind spot requires me to look over my right shoulder.

4 me BOSE gets a 7 out of 10 for an OEM system. Cranked up to 30, the bass gets distorted, but it is an OEM system. I had a kenwood head/infinity components/JL sub/6 chnl PPI amp long ago which was only OK for an aftermkt system. It easily could beat the bose. BOSE speakers are made in mexico. I dont know why people buy BOSE anything.

If I could I would have bought the GT package with out the stereo. But since its there i'll live with it. I think Honda has better OEM systems (they use Alpine head units).

BTW I luv my 8.

The only thing iI think Mazda dropped the ball on is the oil pressure gauge.

Any other "quibbles" that you may have --- you simply need to remember the amazing price this car is offered at --- considering it is a true one- of a kind car.
