Now, about Mazda3 & 6. YOU who called "EXCEPTIONAL" cars are actually cars which share components w/ FORD!!!! Understand? From the Motors to various other parts.
Mazda3 = Ford Focus; Mazda6 = Ford Taurus; Mazda CX7=Ford Edge etc and etc.
Mazda doesn't have financial resouces to do all their R&D. This is where Ford comes in. Ford offers Mazda the means to develop the 4 bangers & V6s then share them w/ Ford.
Thus, get some "edumacation" before making a fool of yourself in the public.
My goodness, ... ( 5 days ago by bjjvancouver)
My goodness, ignorants are coming out of the woodwork.
Charlieboy,
RX8, along w/ Miata, share absolutely no parts w/ Ford. These 2 cars are what SEPARATE Mazda from Ford. These two cars are what makes Mazda, UNIQUELY Mazda. These two cars, again RX8 & Miata, are the only original and INDEPENDENT cars of/from Mazda. Every other car which Mazda offers are shared, as you call it "FORD PARTS," including your so-called "EXCEPTIONAL" cars >>
Mazda3 & 6. It seems you got everything backwards?
Oil infiltrates ... ( 5 days ago by stropsomsoc100)
Oil infiltrates eyes when standing behind the exhaust pipe of the rotary engine car.
As understood if you read my name from the opposite,
I own a first　twin-rotary engine car Cosmosport.
The rotary engine car is not economical, and is not a good car for the environment though it is happy driving. The rotary engine often breaks, and if seals are not exchanged by high cost , its fuel cost will become bad.
Didn't realise they ... ( 5 days ago by MagicAyrtonforever)
Didn't realise they were so cheap.. Still prefer my 350Z Nissan, But sounds like a good car.. not sure about the rotary though.
read my comments ... ( 5 days ago by Charlie819boy)
read my comments again. i said the mazdaspeed. who here can argue that the mazdaspeed 3 owns it's competition. civic si, sentra se-r, and tiburon. both can't hold a lick to mazdaspeed 3 in terms of the cars being completely stock.
sorry they do. it ... ( 5 days ago by Charlie819boy)
sorry they do. it may not be the important parts like engine internals but hoses, lines, and other minor items do come from ford. Ask any dealership in america. do you really think that as good as the mazdaspeed series and the rx-8 are, do you really think i didn't consider buy them the last time i was in the market for my last car? my payments are done in january and the with the R3 coming out i'm definitely checking that out. don't let your pride cloud your judgment.
Yea i would never ... ( 5 days ago by Charlie819boy)
Yea i would never trade in my STI for an rx-8. However, they are a great car to consider because of their relatively low price. i just don't like the torque. the high revs and handling is a plus.

Sti sounds good...He says that the rx8 engine sound is good yet with the 350z he says it just drones? hmm, I think that, that V6 is the best sounding 6 ever.. even the 911 sounds like a drainpipe compared to my exhaust note.. mind you I have fitted a K&N induction kit and Fujitsubo Cat back exhaust system to it :D
Well first off. ... ( 4 days ago by aaronUSAF)
Well first off. About mazda. They make ALL thier own cars, granted it is true they share some parts with ford but their unibodies are all original mazda. Ford actually adopts mazda bodies for thier cars in europe(well some like the new fiesta and ka based on the mazda 2 which is a small car much like the fit over seas). The Focus is entierly Ford and the 6 is actually the ford fusion not the tarus. Ford would do well to start using more of mazdas stuff in their cars.
I think Clarkson ... ( 4 days ago by prod1gy3000)
I think Clarkson had a few too many when he called the car 'sensational.' The RX-8 was basically one big dissapointment.

what about mazda b-series trucks (b 2300 b-3000 b-4000) are just re-badged ford rangers
Mazda3 uses the ... ( 3 days ago by bjjvancouver)
Mazda3 uses the same duratec 4 which is used in, "European" F. Focus; Mazda designed this motor, however the R&D funding came from Ford. Until recently, the motor in Mazda 6 was the same one used in Jag., Lincoln and F. Taurus, as you said, the Fusion for 2010.
I merely made some generalization as far as Mazda/Ford, for the clueless here who are ragging on the RX8 & other rotary cars w/out much personal knowledge about them. They get the wind of Ford owning 35% of Mazda, then start...

i have and it was disappointing. not enough torque for me. i like that break neck off the line launch which this car doesn't have. Hell the car is slower than a CIVIC SI stock for stock. come on now. not to mention reliability issues. when your engine rev's that high (not that there is anything wrong with that) the parts on your car wear that much quicker and when your putting in some ford parts on top of that...well you know. people want cars that have better reliability.
i think the problem ... ( 1 day ago by Charlie819boy)
i think the problem with me was that a lot of my friends that have purchased one boasted so much about it, i think i was expecting too much. granted their cars have been suped up beyond belief but still... come on... slower than a freaggin' civic?

The RX8 is ... ( 5 hours ago by wasp010)
The RX8 is extremely reliable and share NO parts with Ford. 99% of the parts come from Japan, and 100% of the RX8 is assembled there as well. Ford owns 33% of Mazda's shares. Thats it. Idk where everyone comes off thinking Ford builds the RX8. And uhhh...the RX8 is every inch of door to door with an S2000 till around 100 mph. Are you saying a Civic Si is as fast as an S2000?
LOL. you really ... ( 1 hour ago by Charlie819boy)
LOL. you really should do some research instead of what you hear. stock s2000 hit high 13's on the quarter. The civic Si Low 14's. The Rx-8 in the 15's! LOL. keep talking out your ass MR. "CTS-v is the fastest 4-door". tard....
