Aside from cutting that corner completely and weaving in traffic....I think she liked it.

I guess that's how they say it in Canada (and other places).

As weird as it sounds, it actually makes more sense that way.
"cat"
"fat"
"matter"
"camera"
"Canada"
"after"
etc.

Yeah that's the one thing i don't really like about my R3. The exhaust is too quiet for me (for a sports car). Then again, that's probably because I have a very very loud (yet awesome sounding) '91 rx-7.

It's weird to have a loud, slow car and a quiet, quick car. should be the other way around. though I don't think I want to mess with the 7's exhaust. I love how it sounds.

I know what you mean I have a loud *** eclipse as my DD and its slower/louder than my 8.

I'd like to go full racing beat exhaust, but it's so expensive.

Anyone else notice she is sitting in front of the seat belt shoulder restraint? Probably not a good idea for a review video.

The Mazda did get annoying in the first review, did anybody notice the guy from Top Gear (name escapes me right now) said it the same way. He only said it twice so most people might not of picked up on it.

With the womans review she made it sound like Mazda had the RX8 out with another engine and then later decided to put the Rotary in the car. Did anybody pick up on that or it another funky Canadian way of saying things?

I don't know about stealing one , but you can get it from mazdatrix (http://www.mazdatrix.com/8intake.htm), assuming they ship to Australia.

She ends with "If nothing else, at least it sounds good. It might not have the modern gadgetry of a car today () but it certainly is a blast to drive" .

Dumb ending to a decent road test. I also was wondering about her seatbelt and I'm guessing she's too short for proper usage with the Recaros.

Paul.

I didn't get that either. What else is modern gadgetry? It has bluetooth, Nav Option (ok so not in the R3) and a 6 disc CD changer with Sat Radio optional. Keyless entry and start.

So it doesn't have internet or a hard drive.....don't buy it!
