But, when I actually drove the car... at the very first shift of gears down to semi auto mode was a cheap feeling, then i steered it off on the road - another disapointment, the steering has no feedback at all... nothing... it's so light I can countersteer with one finger...Quote:

then i tried the sports shift... it is SOOOOOOOO slow, not responsive at all, and what's with the pedal shift where u use your fingers to shift up on both sides, then use your thumbs to shift down, and again able to do it on both sides... can't you just make it nice and simple - left down, right up.
but the chassis was nice :thumbsup: nice and solid, firm suspension, not much body roll at at, yet a comfortable ride. How do I know... well... I hooked around some round abouts a little too fast, my dad was shocked... the sales guy was sitting in the rear middle seat, he was rolling around quite alot... then a few corners later he looked pissed and said it's a new car, others are wiating to test it, so then I took it back to the dealer :)
looks like it's the end for new mazda 6 dream, and also it will be a while until my next visit to that dealer... then I went across the road to check out details about the new Euro, I knew more than they did over this forum... but I sat in the Civic Type R, first thing I noticed is wrapping around the bucket seats, then the fighter jet 'cockpit' it was so nice!
so then I drove the 3 year old Accord Euro back home - it's still a great car
Mine is nearly 4 yo and still drives like new..try driving a 4yo mazda 6 and see that they don't hold together as well.
true civicish with extra buttons...lolQuote:

I wouldn't be surprised if the layout of the new Euro is very similar to the previous one just to cut costs (also, why fix something that isn't broken).Quote:
