    It's for sure good looking. Do they come with A/T or manual only?

    That one "appears" to be auto. Guess it will be similar to the Mitsi ASX. HAven't tried the ASX but it looks like pretty good value.

    Actually, I googled it and they didn't confirm if we get A/T with diesel. That's what I had in mind but forgot to mention that.

    I guess, once again, different countries will get different specs AND as usual we'll all want what the "other guy" is getting

    I doubt we'll get the auto diesel. The gaps can't seem to do it. It's a nice car though and will apparently be very good on fuel around 5l per 100 km

    unless the petrol version is archaic then that one in the picture appears to be an auto diesel.

    Tach only goes to 6k.

    Mazda's still feel cheap to me....well, they are cheap i guess.

    If the petrol's a 2L then I'd assume it has the same engine as my mums Mazda 3 which redlines at 6,500. And on the topic of feeling cheap my 2000 bora has a much nicer interior, is much nicer to drive and has steering feel and gearshift feel that is 100x better than my mums car... Just saying I think I'd go the Tig at least if it was my money

    I agree. It looks like a superseded mazda 3 on steroids...
