My Mazda 3 vs. New Honda Civic SiR

[timba24]

never thought things in alberta would be high asian gand areas but again I am from the SF bay area and know how that all works very well but man do I miss china town lol

 

[splitvizion]

yeah I think thats pretty F'd up that whoever would refer to someone in a negative ratially biased comment. You should have just said ricer if anything. Lets not start any unwanted tension in this community. How about that Escort ES. Petty sweet. LOL

I have a good one. I was on the highway two nights ago, just cruizin along when a ford Escort Es hatch pulled next to me and the guy and his friends were edging me on to race them. Pointing,laughing(for what I don't know) you know the deal. So I gave him what he wanted, droped it down to fourth and just completely torched him. So I eventually slow down and here he comes blows past me laughing, so again, dropped it down into fourth and blew by him again even with his full speed run at me. It just kills me how someone could think that a car like that is cappable of beating a car like our Mz3. I mean, this thing was beat. The kid actually lives around my town. I actually have a pic of the killed car because it was so hilarious to me what he has done to this car.

I dont know... he looks mighty fast, dont know if Mazda 3 could handel it

Man, I've seen Escorts that could blow the doors off of early-90's Taurus station wagons! You better watch out, I think that guy was just toying with you!

I saw a Kia Spectra R/T yesterday, sporting a wing that would make a Roadrunner blush. I was fearful.

 

[splitvizion]

If you could look closer at this thing you would puke. The hood scoop is def. not functional, it has neon valve caps, neon washer nozzles, like 3 differant 10" subs in seperate boxes all made by radioshack/wallmart/wherever. Its ****** hilarious how deep this s*** goes.

 

[Americanzer0]

Ummm... guyz, I don't want to sound mean, but you do realize that the Ford Escort, and the Zx2, And the Mercury Tracer are all based upon Mazda platforms, and that that there are Escorts out there that will wax the ass of almost all "Mazda" products, let alone be touched by "Evo's & STi's" .... the real car people here will know of what I talk about when I say these infamous words: "Cosworth Escort"


Also check out www.escortracing.com for anyone interested in anything Ford Escort related to (and that includes Mazda Protg's, and 91-96 EGT's)...


*For the official record though, I believe I can speak for the entire Escort community when I say that Escort mentioned above is disgraceful to both Mazda and Ford motor companies...

 

[jflo]

the cosworth escort isn't available to the north american public, so who cares ? and escorts that will destroy most mazda products ? do you mean the highly specialized and modified escorts ?

 

[splitvizion]

dude for a second I thought that you were defending that escort in the picture. That is a disgrace to anybody that is into modding cars. I 'm not cracking jokes because it is ford. I am aware of what Mazda and Ford have in common. I am cracking jokes because it is tthat ford with those cheasy ass mods. Its like a rolling Advanced auto add. What not to do to your car. Def. not good taste.

Theres really only one car company that I really think is all around garbage, and that is Chevy. I would rather walk then drive a chevy. Just my opinion.

And by what divine providence have you arrived at this opinion?

To piggyback on Goldwing....

(Theoretically speaking) Splitz is probably one of those people that put those stickers on their car where Calvin is pissing on another car manufacturer like Ford, Chevy, Honda, etc.

It always amazes me that people can be so passionate about something that is soooo irrelevant. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the 1st Amendment, but please, statements like that just make you look ignorant.

Now, if you came to that conclusion because of valid reasons (i.e. your friend was driving a Chevy when it spontaneously combusted and killed him or you've owned 5 different Chevy's and they all qualified under the "lemon law", then you have a valid statement, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

Sorry to pick on you Splitz, but I don't really understand why people come to conclusions like this.

 

[zoom-zoom2]

damn I dont even know what to say about the stereotypes in this one but s*** I am half asian so does that mean I am a dangerous cocky ricer? um no ethnicity, creed, background has nothing to do with it so it shouldnt even be mentioned

The fact is that in Edmonton Asian gangs are a huge problem. It also happens to be these Asian gang members that are driving around these riced out imports. In Edmonton, the only people that could possibly find a riced out car attractive, are the kind of people that sell crystal meth to children.

Ok, we have some real assholes on here. Thats whats up.

Stickers of Calvin pissing on whatever, ahhhh no. You will not find any stickers on my car unless it is a club I am involved in or if someday I am luck enough to have someone sponser me. Not a ricer over here. Everything that gets added onto my car is done in good taste.

Not to sure how passionate I am about not liking a certain manufactured car but if you had friends that owned alot of chevys and never saw anything good come out of it, then you would probbally come to the same conclusion as I have.
Friend #1: (3) Berretas all had the motor or tranny blow before 100,000
Friend #2: 2002 Chevy Cavalier with 150 miles. Three months later the engine blew up. Had to file for a lemon law with Chevy.

These are few examples of why I have come to the conclusion. It was not ignorance that brought me to that conclusion. Before people start flaming on someone, they should ask (WHY?) before they speak and make themselves the ignorant one. And the comment about someone not being a "real car guy". How ignorant is that statement. You tell me what a real car guy is? Flame on Flamers. I'm Rick James b****.

 

[goldwing2000]

Lighten up, Splitz (and Sir Speed, to a lesser extent).

Nobody called you any names, it was just asked that you clarify your position on Chevys.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion! Berretas and Cavaliers are hardly the flagship models of the Chevrolet lineup but I'm not going to argue back and forth with you about why Chevys are or are not crap or question the driving habits of your friends. Personally, I've always owned Chevys and never had major problems with them. Obviously your friends' experiences have been different.
There are people who think Mazdas are crap.
Personally, I think Jaguars are crap.
It's all opinions and personal experience.

Yes, the Calvin sticker comment was out of line (and said mostly in jest) but that's the type of response your comment, "I would rather walk then drive a chevy," will draw. It doesn't make Speed an asshole. He just responded with the same tone as you made your statement.

You have to admit that there are a LOT of people who are militant about not liking a certain kind of car. When you ask them why, they say, "BECAUSE THEY SUCK!!" and don't provide any real reasons.

He did later qualify his statement:

Now, if you came to that conclusion because of valid reasons... ...then you have a valid statement...

You do have reasons for your opinions, you provided those reasons, so we'll just leave it at that.

Try not to get so worked up about other people's comments. It'll give you an ulcer. (nana)

Cool?

 

[sndsgood]

if your worried about asian gang members who would shoot you.

1. i'd sure look over to make sure a gun isnt' being pointed at me
2. id' hate to get a gang member pissed at me by beating him in a race.
3. saying that all the asians are gang members is like saying all white people are in the klan and all blacks rob and steal

 

[Manny Fresh]

Why is this issue such a big deal for you?

Just relax my friend. I've moved on, so should you.

 

[Mazda3ofKent]

I dont like Civics too but some of you are takeing this to an extream

 

[goldwing2000]

All right, all right...

Everybody agree that this has gone on long enough?
