Lets compare what was worse, the DBW of the euro or shifting in the s15 and the accompanying clunk that made you think your gearbox just fell out of your car.
Check this out. The new Mazda6 just got Throttle-by-wire, and 6MT or 5AT. It'll be interesting to check the Mazda forums on whether they start hating the throttle-by-wire since they can compare it to the pre-upgrade model.

Its not a matter of hating drive by wire. It is the fact that the accord DBW is not up to par of the european cars which pretty much all run DBW. The mazda DBW might be fantastic.Quote:

Only complaint i have in the dash board, its boring.
really? i actually really like the dashboard.
Boring > ugly/tryin to be modern
The only thing I hate about the dash is that the techo is on the left, the speedo at the center. Should be tacho in the center and speedo to the left (or digital in the center). I guess that only happens in sports cars :p If your saying the Euro dash is boring, try the BMW ones. Their tacho hasn't changed in 10 years or more....still that simple white on black and red/orange illumination. Simplistic = classy. Too complex = ugly/tryhard. I personally like the dash with a splash of blue (i.e VW and XR6/8).
Off topic: Is the S15 gearbox that bad? What made you guys go from a S15 to a Euro?
I just have one real silly dislike...
If you lost drop something between the front seats and centre console, you cant get your hand in there to retrieve it as there is no room. A real nuisance if you are driving and you need to retrieve what you just dropped in there.
Yfin yea I'll let them check it out next service, but then again I told them last time about the dbw and they came back with "After we've done the service we've found no such problem exists" cant blame service people though.
Im cool with all the stuff that comes with the car when I test drive it like I accept the power, wheel, visual stuff.. etc.. coz its wat you see thats wat you get but who wouldva thought dbw would destroy you at low speeds.. serious who the hell would test how well the car go at 10km/hr?. we've more concerned with the more important stuff like acceleration and handling. we shouldnt have to worry about if the car comes with 4 wheels or not.
i cant see what the fuss is about with the euros dbw.....i think its great or maybe i have learnt to drive it properly.
Pffft I love everythin about my new Milan Red Euro :D
Well almost everything, anyone else with luxuries find their sunroof undercover sliding thingy vibrates/rattles when you go over bumps or down a rough road? Is it something that can be easily fixed?
Well apart from that just the tint/window issue, everything else to be honest I love, especially now I have the black leather seats! My missus uncle has a BMW 5 series and he reckons the leather in the Euro is better than his BMW leather !!
