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.

1121338 2010-07-22 09:17:00 I like manuals too, Hmm come to think of it since I got my own car in 08 I have not driven an auto at all. nedkelly (9059)

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 ..

you get imprezzas at queenstown, they are rented for tourists mainly for campers and backpackers with a 1500cc engine.
