#ManualTransmission #Cars have become enshittified in recent years. There is almost nothing out there that's like a small hatchback with a < 2l engine, naturally aspirated, yet which has a top gear that lets you cruise at around 2500 RPM at 100 km/h. The worst offender I found so far: 6-speed #Kia Souls. The overall ratio of 6th gear is about what 4th gear was in the 1998 Honda Civic DX hatch i had years ago. Why would I want to flip through 6 gears, just to get to 4th? And then continue driving in 4th after hitting the freeway? #FacePalm So far the only thing I found with non-sucky gearboxes are #Mazda 3s. They are a little large. Mini Coopers are good also, but they are finicky about fuel and built by BMW (expensive parts, maintenance, issues, ...).

Il Tempo: CX-6e la sfida elettrica del futuro Non poteva non essere il MAXXI di Roma il luogo ideale per presentare alla stampa la nuova Mazda CX-6e. In questa location esclusiva, Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, le linee di Zaha Hadid, incontrano il linguaggio stilistico Kodo e la filosofia costruttiva della casa giapponese.  Le linee incredibilmente fluide e dinamiche della Nuova Mazda CX-6e dialogano con le geometrie avveniristiche del museo, in un incontro tra design automobilistico e architettura contemporanea che esprime armonia, tecnologia e cura artigianale del dettaglio.  La Nuova Mazda CX-6e incarna l'estetica giapponese attraverso un design pulito, una cura meticolosa dei dettagli e un abitacolo studiato per trasmettere armonia e comfort. Mazda amplia così la propria strategia di elettrificazione introducendo un Suv che interpreta i valori distintivi della Casa: l'uomo al centro, piacere di guida (Joy of Driving) e qualità costruttiva.  Sotto al confano batte un propulsore elettrico, alimentato da una batteria da 78 kWh, sviluppa 190 kW (258 CV) e 290 Nm di coppia, assicurando una risposta pronta e lineare grazie alla trazione posteriore, elemento identitario del piacere di guida Mazda.  L'autonomia, fino a 484 km nel ciclo WLTP, e la ricarica rapida in corrente continua a 195kW garantiscono serenità sia nelle lunghe percorrenze sia negli spostamenti quotidiani. Pazzesco l'abitacolo, con grande cura dei dettagli e un display centrale da 26 pollici, comandi vocali e sistemi avanzati di assistenza alla guida per un ambiente tecnologico ma intuitivo, dove comfort, sicurezza e coinvolgimento si fondono in un'esperienza di mobilità elettrica evoluta. Prezzi di ingresso 46.750 allestimento Takumi. Accanto all'acquisto tradizionale, la nuova CX-6e è disponibile con Mazda Rent2, la formula di noleggio a lungo termine «tutto incluso>. CX-6e: The Electric Challenge of the Future The MAXXI in Rome was the ideal place to present the new Mazda CX-6e to the press. In this exclusive location, the National Museum of 21st Century Arts, the lines of Zaha Hadid meet the Kodo stylistic language and the construction philosophy of the Japanese automaker. The incredibly fluid and dynamic lines of the New Mazda CX-6e dialogue with the futuristic geometries of the museum, in a meeting between automotive design and contemporary architecture that expresses harmony, technology, and meticulous attention to detail. The New Mazda CX-6e embodies Japanese aesthetics through a clean design, meticulous attention to detail, and an interior designed to transmit harmony and comfort. Mazda thus expands its electrification strategy by introducing an SUV that interprets the distinctive values of the House: man at the center, driving pleasure (Joy of Driving), and build quality. Under the hood beats an electric powertrain, powered by a 78 kWh battery, developing 190 kW (258 CV) and 290 Nm of torque, ensuring a responsive and linear response thanks to rear-wheel drive, an iconic element of Mazda’s driving pleasure. The range, up to 484 km in the WLTP cycle, and fast charging in continuous current at 195kW guarantee peace of mind for both long journeys and daily commutes. The interior is spectacular, with meticulous attention to detail and a 26-inch central display, voice commands, and advanced driver assistance systems for a technological but intuitive environment where comfort, safety, and engagement fuse into an evolved electric mobility experience. Entry prices start at €46,750 with Takumi trim.
