Even BMW has gone back to regular autos in non-M cars. I doubt they will with advances in torque converter autos. On your original sentiment, I'm in that exact same boat. Makes me wonder how much longer it will be before DCT's will be the norm. I'm sure it's still fantastic to drive, but I have no love or much use for torque converter autos these days. The only saving grace for me the last time I was in a Mazda dealer was that their only ND in stock was an automatic. My goal is to not go to a Mazda dealer and drive one of these because if I did, I'm fairly sure I'd buy one and I don't need a new car right now. The more I hear about these, the more I like them.

More answers to questions: The Club model continues, although it can now be had with leather-trimmer seats on the Brembo/ BBS package.Īlso new for 2019: standard tilt and telescoping steering wheel (it only adds half a pound to the total, we’re told) plus backup cameras across the model range. The crankshaft didn’t lose weight, but it’s now stiffer.Īnother side benefit: fuel economy is up 1 mpg. The direct injection can deliver shorter pulses, meaning up to three pulses per combustion cycle–before that max was two. More updates: Lower piston domes help the tumble flow of the air-fuel mixture. There’s a new lightweight, dual-mass flywheel as well–yes, dual-mass. The pistons have been lightened by 27 grams, while the connecting rods lost 41 grams. The exhaust header has received larger tubes. The intake manifold also features shorter, fatter runners.

It’s one we have been hearing for nearly 30 years and, has tradition has shown, Mazda replies partway through each model generation. It’s a common request for Mazda: More power for the Miata, please.
