Thread: Share Your Ride

This is my 2 year old Mazda CX3. My last three cars have been Mazda as they drive much better than their competitors, IMHO.

For my fans.....

I also have a CX3, but in the UK, its a fine little machine notwithstanding its harsh ride on the standard 18" wheels. I particularly like the head up display and the steering wheel mounted gearshift paddles for the auto box. I have the 2 litre petrol engined model, diesel drivers in the uk are taxed exorbitantly these days. It drives and handles sweetly and the standard bose sound system is excellent. I see a lot of these CX3's on the roads here, but they are something of a rarity in the UK.



In Thailand I have a Toyota 4wd Hilux, I have had it from new and it is now 15 years old, the exterior now has a pleasing patina of scratches and dents but the interior is still in pristine condition and apart from batteries, oil, tires and brake pads... oh .. and one starter motor, it has never needed much in the way of tlc apart from a service every year. A truly amazing machine.

I shall never, ever, ever take anything you have to say about cars seriously again. Ever.

Well not that I ever did previously but now I shall do so with renewed vigor and focus.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and a Toyota Rivo E. Both good motors for Thai roads (off and on).

I know, bo-ring, but any thoughts on Fortuner vs Camry for mostly local driving?

Close, but no cigar.

If you trade up the E350 Avantgarde Cabriolet ... we'll think about it.

Ply her with some JW Blue and look-out

Camry, hands down.

The Foreskinner has a rough ride.

rough ride maybe, but the camry will drown in 6 inches of rainy season water, whilst the fortuner, or any other high rider, will just keep on going.

True enough and that's why moi has a Toyota 4 wheel drive truck - wish the thing rode like a Camry sometimes as it's hard to text on some roads!

The HUD is cool. No BOSE or sunroof in Thailand.

I saw heaps in Melbourne last year.

Daily car 25yrs old Celica, quite PITA to service...

My last hara before settling down with a second hand toyota pick up in the village.
If I'd known back in November what I know now I would never had ordered it. All water under the bridge now can always get out with a huge loss later.

Yeah, the best ride has gone

What's with the PRICK sticker?

I guess when you can afford to be, why not.

Oh, my bad PIRK. Allways been a bit dyslexic. Nice wench.

I got one of these. I've been told it's worth 3 to 5.
Could get me life if I take her wrong.
