ZeKik, I just tooted 🎺 earlier about finding myself behind a #Mazda #MX5 #Miata and one of the responses mentioned the dynamics etc.
I’ve never been a big fan of manuals (although I love shiftable automatics) but maybe I should drive the right one to understand why so many #WeirdCar fans desire them.
I’ve driven a Golf Mk I manual (not GTi), a Mercedes-Benz (hated it), and a few other nondescript manual rentals in various guises.
If you had to drive ONE manual to understand, which would it be?
jnv, French Washed today and finally a sunny day to open the roof.

This is highly disappointing. This is likely an abuse of DMCA, but the affected people won’t fight it because it involves open source developers without the resources to fight it.
Mazda is a bully. And they are aware of their power dynamic in this and know they’ll get away with it.
qlp, WTF, Mazda?
