When I was accord shopping and realized the hybrids’ seats didn’t fold down for my hockey sticks I told the sales guy I had to pass. He asked if I would seriously pass up a car because the seats didn’t fold down for hockey gear.

Yep!

Happy with my V6. Got 800km on a 65L tank during a recent interior trip. Never tried econ mode.. ever. No ragrets.

I cant believe any sedan made in the past 20 years doesn't have fold down seats. Thats fucking insane.

It's actually shocking how many don't and, of those that do, how many don't have split-folding rear seats.

^ or have a bunch of metalwork intruding into the opening once the seats are down. I remember the 5th gen Prelude was really bad for that, the space you actually got to use was pitiful.

Only the previous generation Accord Hybrid and thats because of the battery pack. They fixed this problem for the new generation.

imo trunks are a bit archaic on most cars
i wouldn't consider most vehicles without a hatch

jpark 06-06-2019 11:34 PM

My Evo X's seats didn't fold.

I was just looking at a 2020 Genesis G80 (for my dad) and those have a pass through, but no folding seats.

Anyone know about this car? $12k for a pretty clean NB Miata. It's expensive but those mods seem pretty decent?

sonick 06-07-2019 06:20 AM

^ the guy's on Vancouver Miatas and is pretty active on there so him as a seller is pretty legit on the up and up. The mods should also be pretty legit and not cheapo parts.

If anybody else is looking for a Miata, maybe a more stock one, check my sig ;-)

Blue NB was originally an RS member's car. Seen it up close a few years ago under previous ownership and it was pretty clean. Looks like it's been kept that way. Solid cars that have been well maintained are almost always worth the premium.

Yeah that's my concern as well... wonder if you take off the decals and raise it a bit will solve that problem

A couple of things look a bit off on this one:

- no front (Mazda) emblem
- hood seems to be slightly mis-aligned on the driver side along the top
- pretty sure the CDM / USDM cars don't have the front fender turn signal lights. So either the guy bought the Euro signal lights and drilled them in himself, or this is not a CDM / USDM car
- looks like quite a bit of surface rust on the brake rotors
- missing shift knob

So? My car gets that kinda rotor rust after a car wash and sitting for a day. What's an acceptable amount? lol

tofu1413 06-07-2019 01:06 PM

The orange brown surface on the rotors match the interior :troll:

Really? It's common to get a bit of surface rust on the rotors after a wash and sitting for a while. But from this picture:

https://images.craigslist.org/00z0z_...F_1200x900.jpg

It looks to me like the rust on the rear driver side rotor is pretty heavy...

trollface 06-07-2019 01:28 PM

Looks perfectly normal to me. I would not eat off it, but nothing seems off at all.

hud 91gt 06-07-2019 01:33 PM

Guys. If you take it for a burn around the block and it’s still rusty you may have an issue. Brake rust, but brakes should also work and rub that rust off. Lol

twitchyzero 06-07-2019 05:51 PM

rust on rotors is like water spots on paint

non-issue whatsoever

twitchyzero 06-07-2019 07:28 PM

truong's old S2000?

It's also FWD according to the seller

Epitome of a cheap, first car/beater/something to learn stick on.
