. Feel free to use bias :P

Plutonus · 06-10-2007, 01:29 PM

Yes, the BA Hatch (in my experience) is often labeled as a girls car.

Putonyourshoes · 06-10-2007, 01:49 PM

yeah its a little bit true..
but when you see the persons face of shock when you leave them for dead
through the twisties it doesnt really matter.. girls car or not they drive heaps well

Plutonus · 06-10-2007, 01:50 PM

But as someone said in another topic, thats what makes it such a 'sleeper' car.

OZY-323 · 06-10-2007, 02:06 PM

yeah i cop it all the time with my fiance....she hates it...

Cosmo Dude · 06-10-2007, 03:21 PM

Some guys think that bigger is better and subtitute there lack of... errrr, ummm with a big V8. These people look at smaller cars with contempt when they should be looking at them with envy.

with minor mods, they look stylish.

So you've got it covered either way

RedLineResident · 07-10-2007, 10:50 AM

hands down girl cars.

Doesnt matter tho, unlike other girls cars like the mirage etc, its a damn good car.

Built well, handles well, has potential and is awesom to drive. So at the end of the day who really cares.

pr1mo · 07-10-2007, 12:55 PM

so if the hatch is a girld car what does that make the hardtop?

the BHA protege is a grandpas car i know that

Interestingly in the S3 JDM Lantis brochure i just got, the Hatch is heavier. Hatch 1200 vs Hardtop 1190 for the Type R, 1140 vs 1130 for the Type G.

project.r.racing · 07-10-2007, 01:42 PM

yeah but we dont own JDM cars with heavier climate control/more wiring for other stuff/etc. all the shiz adds up. but i'd assume they be equally heavier for both.
OZ delivered hardtops weight 40kg more don't they?

my S3 weighs 1160-1180kg.

Rupewrecht · 07-10-2007, 01:50 PM

According to the Mazda Australia spec sheets

Manual Hatch 1.8: 1135kg
Manual Hardop 1.8: 1120kg

Manual Hatch V6: 1205kg
Manual Hardop V6: 1190kg

Autos are 20-35kgs heavier again.

Sorry Ryan!

project.r.racing · 07-10-2007, 01:51 PM

owned!

i just console myself with the fact that the hatch is betta looking then, i'll just deal with the extra 15kg. all the extra weight must be in the rear hatch door???
