#309 of 378 Now I remember ya... by maltb Jun 05, 2002 (6:26 am)
It's the ................................ across the suject line that brought it all back. Welcome back Marti!
#310 of 378 Dream Machine by marti77 Jun 05, 2002 (10:52 am)
finally, we get what we've been hoping for since the "new" Mazda first came on the automotive scene two years ago!!! adequate power for passing and merging with traffic delivered by a silky smooth "tranny" coupled with an inspiring and ultra quiet ride!!! all this, plus all the "tweeks" and refinements Mazda has seen fit to include in just upgrading this '02 model, even down to the now audible "ping" sound to the turn signals, definitely end results in the sweetest of Dream Machines!!! hey, bring on those "Ody" boys now!!!
#311 of 378 Most Impressed!!! by marti77 Jun 05, 2002 (10:43 pm)
besides the bigger engine and smooth "tranny", the "thing" i'm most impressed with in my new '02 LX is it's supple and compliant ride!!! i don't know what Mazda did to achieve such a remarkable ride!!! whether it was new spring ratings,readjustment of the variable steering ratios or simply by adding the new Dunlop (thank God, no Yokohamas this time)low profile 60 Series tires!!! whatever ever they did they definitely did it right this time!!! this "baby" tracks like an arrow and drives like a "dream!!! thanx guys!!!
#312 of 378 Power Surge!!! by marti77 Jun 06, 2002 (12:17 am)
anyone ever noticed that with the 200HP "maxing out" at 6200 RPM, there is an ever so slight hesitation in the power surge initially until the motor gets up to about 3000 RPM and then the 200ft/lbs of low end torque start to kick in and then it's "Katie Bar the Door"!!! great for passing and merging with traffic, but not exactly the right setup if your so inclined to drag race your MPV!!! but then again, who from the ZOOM ZOOM Club would ever think of doing that child like act of agression???
#313 of 378 Gear Ratios??? by marti77 Jun 06, 2002 (1:17 am)
does anyone out there know just what the final gear ratios are for the "tall end" (4th & 5th gears)of the new 5 speed A/T??? i've noticed my new 200 HP V 6 barely stirs even at 65MPH and "goes to sleep" while in final drive with anything under 50MPH!!! which is all OK with me if it gets the MPG i'm hoping for and besides it "snaps" down to a lower gear rather handily when called upon to accelerate up!!!
#314 of 378 Lucky for Me!!! by marti77 Jun 06, 2002 (1:48 am)
my new '02 LX came through from the factory on consigment just as i would have ordered it!!! LOADED!!! the only things not on it are those items specified for the ES only!!! like leather seats, power side doors, moon roof and the deluxe 8 speaker audio system!!! and of all the many items i have to play with (Besides the Side Airbags)i enjoy the 8 way power driver's seat the most!!! simply from the fact that my wife is considerably shorter than i am and in our "old" DX we were never ever completely comfortable in it's permanent non adjustable seat!!! now, all we have to do is..zip zip..zoom zoom and we're just like sitting back home in our very own easy chair!!! that away Mazda!!!
#316 of 378 S-Plan by khanir2000 Jun 06, 2002 (12:42 pm)
Please some body can tell me what is the S-plan and how to register in this plan. Thanks,
#317 of 378 Visual Illusion!!! by marti77 Jun 06, 2002 (8:21 pm)
has anyone noticed that if you look at the redesigned sculpted front end of the '02 MPV a certain way it will seemingly looks longer and even wider than the snub nosed dropoff front end of a '00-'01 model!!! great job of visual illusion, Mazda guys!!!
#318 of 378 Blind Luck!!! by marti77 Jun 06, 2002 (10:14 pm)
it would be blind luck, i'd say, to get your MPV off the Dealer's lot just as you would have ordered it in the first place!!! that is exactly what happened to me when i picked out our new Sage Green '02 LX complete with Rear Bumper Step Plate, Roof Rack, Dual A/C and Cassette Player along with the 4 Seasons PKG, Luxury PKG and most important of all, the Security PKG for safety sake!!! all this and the Dealer has agreed to throw in a pair of mounted front mud guards as part of the deal!!! not bad for a "gung ho" MPVer,to play with, i'd say!!!
