Ultimate Test of a 2.0 Sedan

[classic_queen]

K, judge me all you want but I rarely do a lot of illegal things in my time and since this one involved my car, the test of it's power and this is my car club, I figured I would share my findings with everyone.

Last night, I had to drive some of the guys from my slopitch team from the King George Skytrain stn to the Shark Club in Langley. (it's about 20 or so kms).

I had (+ myself) 5 guys in the cab of the car and one guy in the trunk (he said it was pretty roomy and yes you can cue the circus music).  I must say that I didn't lose too much power and she chugged along fairly well considering all the guys had to have been between 150-200 pounds each. 

So to conclude: the sedan makes a perfect clown car if anyone is wondering. 

NOTE: The reason I did this is because we all went to the Lions game and I ended up being the only sober one (funny how that happens) and I didn't want any of these guys driving themselves.

So let me get this straight, you transported 7 people in your car?

Well at least no one drove drunk.....but I would have felt pretty bad if you would have been rear ended cause the guy in the trunk would have been soooo dead. How was the game anyway? I prefer NFL...gooo raiders.....the black hole rules.

Classic Queen have a look in your manual and see what the MAX weight (load) is for your car.

I just noticed I am finally listed as a premium member....ahhhhhhh sooooo goood.

hmm yeah good that u didn't get rear ended......

btw, sounds good to me.......cuz when i test drove the 2.0 sedan it was an auto and i had total 5 ppl in the car while testing........the car did move fine, but just can't talk about performance...

[need4speed]

You gotta admit the fact that Mazda has done very well in the making of the 3. I'm still happy I have one. 

[Inno]

yeah im very happy too....

i mean........they have done a very good quality job improvement over the protege(5) i must say

still enjoying my every second with the car

This wasn't the thread for sedans vs hatches.  I just wanted to share my experience.

[Inno]
