Well this is what she finally ended up with, as she wanted white interior. So now we're a two Mazda family. Mazda CX90, Turbo S Premium.

I have a 2018 CX-9 Signature that I've had from new. It now has 118k miles. It's been reliable, low-maintenance, and reasonably inexpensive to run, all while retaining those Mazda driving dynamics that we love. My next car will be a CX-90 hybrid.

Did they change the inside of the EV model ?
had the gas version it was a beast , but also had some let downs too. I'm not knocking the vehicle it had some truly great features.

No, the interior is the same for BEV and ICE.

Yes: Use to Stuff the Battery

I was into sports car
My first car was given to me in 1987 a
1974 FIAT 124 Spider we sold it in 1995. My second car I had was acquired in 1995 just before I got married . A 1973 Mercedes Benz 450 SL
My third car was a 1984 BMW 635 CSI Euro model acquired it in the year 2000 my wife and I just started practicing fresh from our specialty training . Had a great time having both the 450SL and the 635 CSI . My wife & I enjoyed long drives w/ me in the 450SL and my wife driving the 635CSI . The BMW felt more sporty than the 2 seater Mercedes Benz . I sold the Mercedes in 2008 and acquired an 89 Porsche 911 Turbo . That car is beast , it was fun and dangerous all at the same time. It had a reputation of being a “ Widow Maker “ . In 2017 my Dad handed down to me his 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet . That car is fun and the engine sound is to die for specially when your near the red line . There’s nothing like a Ferrari . Then in Jan of 2021 I decided to sell my BMW 635 CSI after 21 years of ownership . Got myself a preowned 2018 Mazda MX 5 ND w/ a manual gearbox .I had no regret selling the BMW and Im enjoying the MX 5 immensely . Such a fun car . A real sports car .
Aside from the Sports cars , I had daily driver cars that’s use as a Family car and daily drivers .
What I learned in owning these sportscar is you have to drive and maintain them regularly . And you really have to be a Sports car enthusiast to own them and its not for being flashy .

Just an update I sold my 89 Porsche 930 and my car enthusiast friends ask me why . Although the 930 also known as a widow maker was such a formidable car , I was’nt truly in love w/ it and I didn’t have any remorse when I sold it . Then I was able to buy a Ferrari 328 GTS its the one I truly love ever since I fell in love w/ it back in 97 when I was still a struggling 3rd year surgical resident . Now it seats happily in my garage together w/ the Ferrari 3.2 Mondial Cabriolet handed down to me by my late Dad . Very much satisfied.

Beautiful 308!! In my mind the 308 will always the image of Ferrari, it’s such a timeless design. Perfection.

 

[ErVikingo]

308s are beautiful. Have never owned or driven one. Love Porsches and have owned 356, and 911's from 1965, 66, 67, 68, 69, 72, 78, 96, 97, 08, 11, 14 and 19. Currently still have the 69, 78, 14 and race a 66 converted to 72 ST specs.

But since 2017 my R8 Plus reigns supreme in my stable.

 

[tdh888]

Thanks Slingblade and ErVikingo for the nice words .Actually its a 328 model its an updated 308 manufactured from 1985-89.

R8 the best gearbox ever, pervert what you can do with that engine.

Watch some of the GTR mods that get 3000+ HP...those are also insane. They run 6 sec quarter miles!

Yes ..Paul"Materialmord" germany is insane, but you can't drive this on street like A9 performance with street software(1200hp) legal with tüv germany.

Nice and rare the 993 RSR ,drive it in good health ErVikingo . The fiberglass 308's are rare and expensive.they were only made if I recall for 1 year (1976)
