Otherwise, I like the car, quick, shifted well, decent clutch, and decent styling.

see how opinons work.... i disagree w/ the bolded parts

already ordered a short shift plate and rear engine mount to help shorten and solidify the shifting. can't do alot about the clutch, the letup is short and not alot of feel.

i'll throw any 10 yr old mazda against a similar volvo anyday, and the mazda will be miles ahead while the volvo is in the shop.
