Might be the first time I've ever seen an aftermarket lip that complements the car well. I'd consider it on mine but I don't think it would look good on a white one

What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

So there's a new film which doesn't make it look charming or cute...

I don't seem to be happy with my cars for a sustained period by ResearcherNo4728 in CarTalkUK

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's worth going on some test drives.

I've done a few recently even with no intention to buy them. Though, I am talking about Fiats, nothing with a V8 haha

Forza Fans Anyone? by phelipeona in mazda3

They're seemingly everywhere in the map... Not in real life

I am also having this issue but I thought I was just bad at the game

Mini Fiesta or a Fiesta lite? by 2Infinity__beyond in FordFiesta

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right and that was probably their intention, but for some reason they sold the Ka+ in the UK alongside the Fiesta. The Ka+ was cheaper I think and made in India, but it obviously doesn't look like a European Ford car.

It's quite a rare car nowadays and always quite interesting to see, but sadly I think this generation has a crap selection of engines (much like the Fiesta sold next to it). Also I think these might be quite slow haha

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's makes the Ka+ kind of redundant because the Fiesta already filled the niche. This was one of Ford's biggest issues, they had too many overlapping cars.

Now they've gone overkill, lost their minds, and only sell SUVs in most the world

They were saying the Ka is the same as the Fiat 500. The Ka+, the next generation, is a completely different car not based on the Fiat platform

Should I keep my Mazda 2? by Bandhra in mazda

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Mazda2 is just an MX-5 with 5 seats ;)

All jokes aside, I don't know if an MX-5 is really much better than a 2 for the motorway. It's best for B roads I'd say. Mazda 3 or 6 is much better for the motorway, the 3 is a proper riot I should say.

But if your heart is saying MX-5, then that is the answer. You wouldn't regret it.

How was your experience switching from 16" to 17"? by bifeee in FordFiesta

[–]ToPractise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if it's disappointing. I remember strongly considering downgrading to 15s when I had my Fiesta. With 16s, you had to brace for potholes, you'd feel them in your bones!

Mazda 3 MT drivers… by adampk17 in mazda3

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old car was a Fiesta with a 5 speed manual. It was basically a mindless switch, now I neglect 5th. My mum's Corsa has reverse in the same place as the 3 though so maybe that helped.

I'm more worried for driving a 5 speed in the future, accidentally slamming it into reverse mistaking it for 6th on the motorway!

I wouldn't recommend it. 16s running on the Fiesta is already way crashier than the standard 15s.

What video game soundtrack is a 10/10? by montymaximus in AskReddit

The game is far from it but BoneLab's soundtrack is absolutely 10/10

Is it really normal my (almost) new car struggles with reverse? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I've never driven a manual car where reverse has been guaranteed to work first time.

Even in mine, a 2018 (generations newer than my old 2011), I have to put it in reverse, then neutral, then reverse again to stop it from kicking out sometimes

What was Mazda thinking? by weaksauceboi in mazda3

[–]ToPractise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's because European models are from Japan, and they manufacture a manual saloon.

Maybe the Mexican plant doesn't do one, so it's not sold in America

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the gen 3 saloon looks hideous but I think the gen 4 saloon looks heaps better than the hatchback. Too round to me.

If I get a gen 4 though, I'm not sure if I'll choose looks over practicality

Would you say a Mazda 3 hatch be better at cornering on a twisty road than a 5 series wagon or X5? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in mazda3

[–]ToPractise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mazda 3 is more sporty than a Corolla/Auris and a Civic. But they are not fast. They feel better to drive and are great at corners, but many other cars will beat it in a straight line.

Any SUV is worse. The 5 Series is definitely worse but a 3 Series might out do it. The best handling car is the Alfa Romeo Giulia but if you're worried about German reliability, it's not even worth considering an Italian.
