Don't tempt me! Already has the privacy glass!

 

Do it man! ;)

 

Also my dad told me something about the 6 when he swapped it for the MX-5 NC2 a couple years back, he said that "No car should leak oil like that"...Is this true? Or is it false? Think you should keep an eye out for it either way dude.

Well that's a bit wrong. A Mini is supposed to leak oil... It's not a true Mini if it hasn't got at least 1 leak! :lol:

It's a diesel so you'll probably still need to change gear at least once more than you would in a petrol equivalent. Most of the power will be between 2000RPM and 4000RPM, with the revs either side of that you're wasting your time/acceleration.

 

I'd imagine it's probably quite/very good at accelerating away from the likes of 40MPH though which is all that matters.

Nice! I actually like this Mazda.

 

0-60mph in 8.4 seconds, 177bhp and 400nm of torque

 

But 400nm and 177bhp only do 0-60 in 8,4? Weird.

 

Weight :nods: Our Lexus is the same. 175hp and 400nm and 8.x to 60.

 

Correct, it's a heavy car so the acceleration isn't as good as it could be in a lighter car, but saying that it doesn't struggle to keep up with anything I've seen on the road so far!

You're right there, it doesn't struggle at all when accelerating at 40/50/60 or 70mph, foot down and it's off like a rocket
