I can't imagine said person taking the same lines in his brand new ND (on and off the circuit) as he did in Little Reddy!

Very funny guys. :lol: My ND will eventually be my regular track car ... once the new car smell wears off and the depreciation effect has waved is magic wand. For now I have my sights on seeing if I can get a stock NC into the 11s at Wakefield with nothing more than a set of Rspecs.

Very few pictures out there of them, and it looks these are unique to Mazda Australia.

(got a Meteor Grey 2.0GT coming in March/April :D)


Yes wife is getting them in the full Kuroi pack (Soul Red 2.0GT)
She asked for a 2016 build so we'll be waiting till March/April too :D

And here you have it folks....

Not so surprising, given it's amazing abilities and the way it's been received around the world.

I just keep wanting to say...."that's my car!!!"

I'm just surprised that wheels drove something other than a Commodore.

I am staggered that it got this award. Frankly there are many better cars these days but certainly very few in the lower price range. Still its good a result for Mazda and I will read the report.

Yeah, MM's logic isn't logical.

Anyway, it's an excellent car, as anyone will know who has dríven one, and now at a great price point.

Good to see Wheels finally noticing there is a glovebox, and even mentioning how good the auto is, including in the 1.5L

For those who already received their ND, would you be able to tell me which top do we get in Oz? In the states, they have the club top (without liners, noiser) and the GT top which has a loner in the top.

Which cars introduced into the market in 2015 are better picks?

If you can do 1.08's at Lakeside first time out in Little Reddy Bryan, it's a reality!

Both. The Roadster gets the top without a liner, the Roadster GT gets the top with a liner. Only just noticed this a couple weeks ago. I have the 1.5L Roadster and never noticed any issues with roof noise on the rare occasion I drive with the top up.
