Replying to: autonomous (Mar 12, 2007 2:19 pm) Moral of the story: sometimes you have to leave home to feel appreciated.   If I wen to the UK, I would be driving a far superior Focus then we get here.....I guess I would appreciate that much more then what Ford provides for their own people!

Replying to: autonomous (Mar 12, 2007 2:19 pm) - Mazda3 hatch: 3 stars, "a good car, but not quite what it should have been"   I checked Autocar again and noticed that the Mazda3 hatchbacks in the UK differ from those being sold in North America. The UK Mazda3 hatch uses a 2.0 L with 148 hp instead of our 2.3 L with 164 hp. Hooray for us!

Replying to: ktpkloss (Mar 13, 2007 12:20 pm) The comparison is with the Mazda3 hatchback with a 1.6L engine offering only 105hp (poor cousin to what we have available).   p.s. Being a German site, I am not surprised that the VW Rabbit won. Replies to this message: eldaino (Mar 15, 2007 9:00 am) eldaino (Mar 15, 2007 9:46 am)

Replying to: autonomous (Mar 13, 2007 8:29 am) "...instead of our 2.3 L with 164 hp."   I thought it was only 156hp. Replies to this message: eldaino (Mar 15, 2007 9:37 am) autonomous (Mar 15, 2007 1:33 pm) eldaino (Mar 16, 2007 4:49 am)

Replying to: autonomous (Mar 13, 2007 1:29 pm) the rabbit being the car that it is, i'm not suprised that it won either!

Replying to: ktpkloss (Mar 10, 2007 4:08 pm) good choice ktpkloss! Glad you like your bunny, my experince with the dealer was much the same; quick, friendly, and to the point. But the dealer that i deal with now (where i get my service done.), they are less than stellar. But i was more concerned with the buying experience personally.

Replying to: bodble2 (Mar 14, 2007 9:02 pm) it is. even before the new sae ratings it was only ever 160.

Replying to: autonomous (Mar 13, 2007 1:29 pm) and the other cars were offering the same size engine too.

Replying to: bodble2 (Mar 14, 2007 9:02 pm) I thought it was only 156hp. Oops. You're right! I don't know from where I got that. Replies to this message: eldaino (Mar 16, 2007 4:49 am)
