    I bought a set of WS70 for my Mazda 6 once, was like driving on a waterbed.

    True, Mk1 is superior in the snow.

    The left side buttons are for front and rear fog lights, respectively.

    True. We also have a law that you can't get out of the car in the dark on the highway without a reflective vest (like the road workers use).
  5. mrtn
    Exactly.

    No, mine's equipped. No need to fiddle with hex wrenches.

    They stripped the US market variant of the power adjuster knob.

    I asked my dealer to turn off the feature. They said it's a safety feature and can't be turned off.

    Oh, if it's a bracket then I don't know. I assumed he was talking about the heated windshield which would block some of the GPS signal.

    They're idiots. It's a standard light sensor to tell the ECU the sun position to guide the A/C and headlights/dash lights. All cars have it.

    The black bump in front of the dash is not a GPS antenna.

    The original model's seats before the last facelift (-2010) were the best of the bunch. The ones with random stripe graphics that were introduced with the latest facelift were a bit flimsier. New model's seats are superior.Comfortability on long trips is very personal and depends a lot on the person.

    The low load limits are only derived from safe center of gravity. This is to prevent the car from tipping over when overloaded and top-heavy. You can safely install a pop-up tent on sleep on the roof rack together with your companion.

    No, I do actual snow driving.

    I once helped a guy compare the transmission configuration in my Toyota. His CVT belt blew due to lack of maintenance. He bought the car used and it had 280 000 km (175K mi) on the odo. He managed to source the original manufacturer of the transmission parts in China and got it running for a couple of hundred (did his own labor), including resurfacing the pulleys which got damaged by the belt chips. So it can be done and more so in the future when the novelty factor is gone.

    CVT is the best for small engines, IMHO. They're getting more and more common as well as the technology has matured.

    My friend installed LED bulbs in place of factory HID. Much brighter but also too bright in front of the car. Almost unbearable. He loves it tho.

    Osram Nightbreakers are the only quick and cheap option. Next would be retrofitting LED projectors.

    You should only mess with rear speakers and subwoofers when your standard setup already sounds so good that it doesn't really need anything else done to it. So, insulate the doors, change the speakers, all tweeters, add an amp first.

    I have used a set. Nothin special, just like any other brand name.

    I have just watched the video, there was no metal cover there, mine had one. Regardless, doesn't change the procedure.

    Changing is easy. Remove the passenger side piece under the wipers, then a tin cover from under it and there it is. Easy with yanking stuff, the plastic may have become brittle over time.There's possibly a plastic grid tray there which you need to remove to install a generic filter. My original filter was in the plastic grid but the aftermarket one fit in the bottom tray, had to leave the grid thingy out.

    How much mileage do you have on the ATF?
