Can my car keep up with a Mazda 3? Explain?
My car is a 2003 Honda Element. It's a 4 speed auto with awd.
The Mazda is a 2006 Mazda 3 i with the 5 speed manual.
By looking the performance specs, the Honda makes 160 hp and the Mazda makes 145 hp.
Also the curb weight between these two cars are 3526 lb(Honda) and 2718 lbs(mazda3)
My question is, on a open highway such as an autobahn with some curves, can the Honda Element keep up with the Mazda 3 if the challenge was the keep up with it?
The 2006 Mazda 3 has a governor-limited top speed of 115 miles per hour and you've said before that you can't get your Element beyond 100 mph. So no.
But why are you even obsessed about this when you're nearly $10,000 dollars in debt on credit cards at 18 percent interest and only making 450 dollars per paycheck? It seems to me that your financial situation is more important than whether you can beat a Mazda 3 on the German Autobahn.
How should I start investing in stocks?
- Prius: Can someone explain the power usage meter & specific difference between power mode and Eco mode? My brother just got me a Prius to replace my old beater Honda and I'm having difficulty understanding the power usage meter (meter on dash with "Charge-Eco-Power") and the difference in the Eco & Power modes. I do understand the charge bit on the meter.
- Mazda reliability? Particularly 2013 mazda 3? I'm in the market for a new car and I was looking between 2013 Toyota corolla which is just boring and doesn't have as much features compared to Honda, or mazda. The Mazda 3 is at a good price 1000 dollars cheaper then the Toyota. So my question is, is Mazda reliable for that generation, or should I stick with a very well known reliable car maker?
- I have a 2006 Honda Metropolitan, WHen cold it starts up but i have to keep revving it to keep it going? I have already replaced the battery, air filter, spark plug, did an oil change, got new gas, cleaned out the carb. Once it is warm i have no issues with it. It usually takes about 3 to 4 min of driving it to get it warm but once warm everything is fine with stopping and going.
- Could a Honda keep up with a Mazda and a Nissan? I'm comparing a 2003 Honda Element ex awd automatic. My question, is on the highway if the drivers were in a 1998 Altima Gxe and 2006 Mazda 3( 5 speed) and they were trying to get away from me, would my vehicle be able to keep up with them? In terms of performance, how would my truck do against these two cars?
