Possible consequences of driving a car called “Mazda”

[Desdemona_666]

Greetings, family.


Does anyone know if it would be bad for me to drive a Mazda car, due to well known background of the name, and what it means?


I have an eye on one car, and I love it in every way, the only thing that troubles me is name.


I can try and ignore its name, but I am wondering about negative consequences it can have on me, if any.


Thank you in advance!



Hail Satan!!!

No, I wouldn't say so. However, you need to be careful which model you are getting and on the grip and other things of the car.

Thank you. I have collected a lot info on the specific model I am looking at, and everything is OK, it was just that name made me a little bit nervous.


The history behind it is that founder just picked the name because he see it fit. It appears that he didn’t have any specific agenda.

Oh gee, I hope not. I was hoping on getting a Mazda Mx5 Miata sometime in the future. Well, that's one car I was hoping to get. From a car guy's perspective, I'd stay away from the Rx7 and Rx8 because of their rotary engines. They tend to be less reliable than traditional piston engines.

Premium European cars drive like dream when they are new

You are wrong, dear friend! A friend of mine bought a brand spanking new BMW X6 fully loaded with everything but the kitchen sink. His car stood more in the dealers yard than his! Interior falling apart, malfunctioning electronics and various other driveability issues. They even discovered that a self-tapping screw had penetrated an electronics module - an overworked slave had made a mistake at the assembly plant. Yet the price was approx. $130k for his car. Go figure, right?
I could give many more examples about Audi and Merc but you already get the point.

Even the Japanese quality (Toyota, Honda) has gone somewhat south because they obviously outsource various parts that fail.

Anyway, like I said, everything is OK until the dealer honors the warranty and even then they'll try to make you pay for their mistakes. After the warranty expires you are pretty much f00ked.

Cars and trucks aren’t tough like they once were.

Sad, isn't it? Search for F-150 Ecoboost problems to see what I mean. They thought that a smaller turbocharged engine is going to give better economy. They were wrong. And the tiny economy you MAY get, you pay more than that fixing the damn thing because turbocharging increases stress on the internals of an engine thus severely hurting longevity. The simple naturally aspirated pushrod V8 was foolproof to some extent in comparison to all the "new tech".

You know what BMW stands for? Break My Wallet.

If you're talking about the CVT transmissions, then yes. Never get a car with a CVT that means avoid Subaru unless it's a manual, definitely never get a Nissan because their transmissions always take a shit around 70,000 miles. Honda, Toyota, it's all the same. Too bad the manual transmission is dead in the US except in tiny and slow eco cars like the Chevy Sonic/Aveo or expensive sports cars like the Subaru WRX, Toyota GT86, a Mazda Miata or (If you're getting the 5.0 V8 version) a Mustang.

I really like to drive. It's a masculine thing it seems because I noticed women are not enthusiastic to do it and in my experience men drive better.

Four banger in a Mustang is an abomination.
I was talking about the Ecoboost engines in their light duty pickups.

Vape? Wtf dude that’s just retarded, have a mind of yours.

Clearly you didn't catch the joke. There's a stereotype that all Subaru owners vape.

Ohh ok haha

 

[ShadowTheRaven]

Ohh ok haha

You ever hear the stereotype that a BMW owner never uses his turn signals? Or that Audis cut people off? Or that Honda Civic Si owners are ricers? Or that Toyota Prius owners are gay? Yeah, there's one for every car. Subaru's stereotype is "people who vape", especially if they own a WRX or Legacy.

Is vaping considered retarded here? I used it to quit smoking tobacco and it really worked.

I like cars, and I like to drive, too, but I am mediocre driver. I am a bit jealous of men and their driving skills, it’s like most of them are born with steering wheel in their hands.


I’ve seen women who are good drivers, but they are rare.

I'm not a great driver but I'm good. It took me a bit to learn because I have anxiety and once I couldn't go because I was in third gear and it took me sow time to realize it.

I'm a guy and I was pretty bad at driving for a while during training. Took me a couple months longer than most people to learn it. Though the exam to get your license is beyond brutal over here so it's like you're being forged by lava before you eventually pass, lol. So because of that I'm rather good now too. I was shitting my pants during the exam though. Rarely ever had that much anxiety at any other point in my life, not gonna lie. The morning of the exam I was contemplating my life and shit :lol:

Also my driving instructor was a woman. They're rare but there are women out there who can be damn good at it too.

Men are probably more mechanically proficient. Not only that, we love to see what our precious machines can do For instance, I'm saving up money for a drift car.

I'm a guy and lost my driving license because i was flying with my car and it got destroyed, thanks to the Gods I got out without a scratch but the point is, It's better to have a lot of caution than be very good at it, don't even know what being good means when driving a car.

By "being good" I mainly meant having the basics of driving ingrained into your very being. To a point where regardless of the situation and regardless of what you do/think while driving, a portion of your mind is always unrelentingly focused on the road and on what is happening, ready to react correctly to anything that happens within a splitsecond. Having achieved this will ensure that you literally cannot divert your focus away from driving even if you tried. This kind of caution and ingrainment of essentials is what will save your life one day if a bad situation was to happen on the road.
I managed to develop this because of the extremely strict and brutal exam of getting my driver's license. Despite feeling nervousity and fear like I was about to get killed or smth for the slightest mistake, I stayed laser-focused on the road for the full 45 minutes. And I still failed the first time because of smth small. On the second one my fear & anxiety was another 5x worse because I felt like everyone would make fun of me if I failed again. But that time I passed, and through all of this I ended up having all essentials for driving ingrained deeply into my being.
I never want to do that exam again though :lol:

Hahaha I feel you man. For me it was a sneaky cyclist driving to the very back right of my car. I didn't even realize there was a cyclist there until the guy told me after we were done. I drove too far to the right and he didn't like that. I was just trying to drive as "perfectly" as possible but it backfired lmao
