QUOTE(arcana83 @ Mar 28 2013, 08:00 AM) I feel that this is the right way the manual gearshifting should be, - on top and + on the bottom. it follows the flow of force felt when u are driving. another driver's car that I know uses the same concept is bmw, if im not mistaken peugeot does too. I feel like driving an arcade car.

Nope, I pretty sure Peugeot are different with Mazda, + on top and - on the bottom, but you are right upon BMW. I totally agreed with you, I find it is the better way to pull down the knob for up-shift.

QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Mar 27 2013, 11:48 PM) I finally had the chance to use the flappy paddles. I must say, the gear shifts are smooth and quick, no lag from user input. Bro, did you try the shiftronic? Some said shiftronic is faster than paddles shift. Since you have both, worth trying and share the response here.

QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Mar 27 2013, 12:04 PM) Off/Topic. How do you guys like the new Audi A3? Audi A1 starts from RM179,900 while the Audi A4 starts from RM235,000. How much do you expect to pay for the Audi A3? It should be in the region of 200K. But it may not reach Malaysia as it would not be favoured much at that price range. The A3 is actually shorter than even the Forte when u compare overall length. The A4 was already a bit cramped inside so i would expect the A3 to be much worse especially with the centre transmission tunnel.

QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Mar 27 2013, 10:19 AM) he got history in contradicting himself one.  If u arent sure then ask. Try not to make blind statements. Being able to take corners fast doesnt mean the handling is top class. The 18 inch rims make taking corners much easier compared to my previous rides and yes in that aspect the handling is good. But handling in general refers to many other things and this is whr the K5 lacks compared to conti's and possibly the M6 as well. Trust that clarifies.

Yes i think ure right. Ive experienced the same in my ride. But the only issue is that u gotta keep 1 hand on the gear while the paddles are easier to use.

I wonder why people nagging about Mazda's act, they are being responsible to their consumers. Any car manufacturers' recall are good. If I can have my car's problems (or potential problems) fixed FOC, why not.

If I can have my car's problems (or potential problems) fixed FOC, why not.  Either responsible or not, i believe no manufacturer dare to take the risk of human life. It's a big news if any Mazda 6 driver seat burning while driving due to the overheat issue. It's about life. If the issue is not directly related to human life, e.g. engine failure, gearbox issues, i doubt they will act so fast. This post has been edited by Seng21: Mar 28 2013, 03:07 PM
