    Not everyone is retarded and speeds buddy.

    My parents didn't want me to get a WRX or even a 5 speed mazda 3 because it would be "dangerous" for me to be driving manual for my first car

    so what did they do?

    They got me a car that has awful side impact ratings, no side airbags, and no ABS. Not such a wise choice in my opinion. Buy me something MORE dangerous KNOWING that I will sell it as soon as I possibly can.

    No abs? All Mazda 3's that are sold here have abs on standard. About the safety, I think that car is much more safer compared to some 10 years older car (bigger or smaller). I wouldn't have complained if my parents had bought me a brand new car...

    I'm not complaining, having a new car is awesome! But that's about it. It just pisses me off to know I could have had a car I actually wanted, that is better in every aspect aside from being used, for less money Now if it were 5 speed I'd love the car to death, but it's not. This is like having a nice computer built on an INTEL OEM motherboard that's BIOS locked.

    I'll double check tomorrow, but the i sport model has ABS as OPTIONAL here in America and the only things I remember under the options was AC and all weather floor mats.

    You caneasily work an automatic, and if you know how to use it, an automatic is actually faster for lap times. Stop complaining. Your parents got you a car. That's better than those with no car.
