| 1121337 | 2010-07-22 09:16:00 | I've been told that I don't have the multi-tasking ability for a manual, they're probably right. Always easier to remove tread with a manual though ;) Nah driving a manuals eaaasy. Although most new(ish) cars these days are autos. |

| 1121342 | 2010-07-22 09:46:00 | It's only the 1800cc baby engine, barely any grunt. At least it isn't the 1500... |

| 1121344 | 2010-07-22 10:02:00 | mum had a mazda familia that we just got rid of for $600 to a mechanic student, 92, 1300cc, just needed a water pump replacement and maybe fix the brakes, should be a breeze for a mechanic. only thing is the aircon does not get cold, had it checked before but he couldn't find a leak - at the aircon specialist, he filled up refrigerate and after some months ..... actually i quite enjoy 1300cc japanese - cheap, easy to maintain, does the job, easy on the petrol. had ours for 15yrs. we don't use it for travel thou, we really just travel once at xmas .. |
