I'm years removed from my car appraising days, but I do miss the short test drives I had in basically every car. One manufacturer that consistently impressed me was Mazda. I always felt a consistency in driving dynamics, from a Mazda2 to a Mazda CX-5. I love their entire model line.
As a current GR86 owner, I do wonder how he'd tune the car differently. Yes, I do understand Mazda made a recent MX-5, but I can imagine the inputs and extra back seats would change the tuning.
What are your thoughts? Would he lean to how the tuning is currently set, more for sports car driving? Or more towards the RX-8, certainly capable, but a bit more refinement, especially with driving inputs?
Do you think he'd force an inline 4 engine with a double wishbone suspension and push the price target up to show it's in a different class?
His brief interview on Savagegeese tacking engineering challenges for the CX-90 was very impressive.
