Yeah, I used to love the VCDS, hope something similar comes along for the 2014 Maz3 (and the other sky-active architecture)... I would love to get the rain sensor to close the sunroof!!

Why the haters gotta hate? just don't buy a VW and you got nothing to worry about... :wink:

Camry's, you can hate them all you want... Gawd and to think that the last car ever made in this country is probably going to be a Camry... :cry:

JayMo,
Great idea re the rain sensor. I hope they develope something soon :)

Don't get me started with bloody camry's and their drivers! The only thing that I could think would be worse than a Camry as Australia's last car would be a Prius. Actually I can see the publicity stunt now...

Is it true that the passenger seat in the new Mazda 3 is not height adjustable? My brother is buying a new car and when he asked the dealer how to adjust it, he was told that you can only rake it back! Now he's buying a passat instead. Quite feature packed for 35k and you should have seen his face when I introduced him to APR!!!

I should point out that I'm not comparing the 3 to the passat in anyway as I have no experience to do so. What I can say is that IMO the passat is a far better car than a jetta for the same money.

Hi Speed

The driver's seat is height adjustable (but not front/ back separately like in a Passat) at least it is on the SP25GT...

My car was a 220kw 4mo B7 Passat wagon with the ultra deep bolstered sports seats, hate to say this, but the 2014 Mazda3 seats are more comfortable and still grippy, esp after 2hrs... -sure the car isn't as grippy as an FSI220 Sports ... but they are otherwise not comparable (a Mazda6 AWD MPS wagon would be the equiv if such a thing existed).... but the three's leather seats are awesome for what they are... unlike the 6 there is no memory on them though.

Congratulations to him...

Thanks JayMo. Apparently the passenger seat does not have height adjustment so his head hit the roof. Drivers side was fine as he could lower it. It's weird that the 6 doesn't have memory though. Thanks again :)

Your jobs are at risk. 6.4% unemployment and rising. Why? - China. And you are saying they don't know what they are doing? Evidence is there that these fake Brembos will be more than safe.

You should understand your denials. Wasted too much time explaining.


No, Chinese sales are due to the products often being cheaper.

Not because they are better quality. That is not evidence. Wait, that's right, you hold wiki articles as empirical evidence.

I like arguing with you. It's fun.

Now here's a fun one for you Dupain, as an authority on Chinese industry, explain the benefit of suicide nets fitted to many factories there.
