Former edge owner has entered the chat: the edge is a piece of trash, but it's a piece of trash everyone should drive once. I didn't have an st one I just had the base model, but 270 hp ain't bad. Yes it's heavy as fuck, yes it's giant. But don't let that fool you it can get up and go and has surprisingly good handling. I honestly reah liked the sts cause I was hoping people would finally do something with the platform, but I understand why they didn't. Who in their right mind would put any money into an edge. That being said my midlife crisis car is going to be an edge stripped down and modded to be a track car. Its a terrible idea and there's basically no aftermarket for the edge, but I want it. I want a 800hp ls swapped edge zipping around around the track so bad

Mazda has just recently trademarked a new "R" logo that could likely be the successor to MazdaSpeed. They've also recently patented a rather fleshed-out rear end of a unibody coupe chassis.

[@Amabar]

People would buy them if they were priced accordingly. Thanks to the massive amounts of crossovers and SUVs anything sporty has a massive markup at the dealership. Look at the type R, Golf R and Focus RS. They marked those up to near 60k cad, when the target audience are younger drivers.

The BK Platform is a banger! Been with the BK platform since '14 (since 18 when I got my license), now upgraded to a Mazdaspeed3 and bwoooi this is it! Japanese really do know what they're doing with engineering, since they focus on precision. It's the most practical car ever for the JDM or even general performance car enthusiasts that have some other things on the side, rather than themselves (subjective, as it meets and exceeds my needs) and bang for the buck in terms of space, performance and even reliability, although some smash it. These engines are notoriously torquey; treat it right, and it won't let you down - just like any car in fact. The only issues I had with Mazda is rust and electrical failures, because heck; it's normal, nothing extraordinary, because they age in different climates and previous owners, and you can't know how the bodywork and other areas were treated in season changes. Will consider upgrading again if they bring another practical BK type, with AWD, remove some of the limitations, or make them easier to work with (upgrading certain things without getting the law up your rear, because most of us have restrictions where we live), without redesigning the engine/or the bay (referring to improving fuel supply, dropping the excessive plastic junk, the FoMoCo junk and build their own, slap a factory FMIC, get a proper turbo since that k04 is like a little toy for the 2.3 engine, and some other minor touches, my fellas know what I'm talking about here). All in all, they've built (Mazda & Mazdaspeed) awesome cars and all they needed and need is proper maintenance and drivers that know some basic car care that know how to drive, and don't abuse them like crazy when cold or out of the maintenance schedule; abuse them when they're ready for it and ensure fluids are on point and the correct ones are used. They're mostly banged right now (Mazdaspeeds) because of incorrect maintenance and improper tuning or none at all, and slapping crazy parts on them without common sense, hence the infamous ZZB. Mine has 151T Km and still holds a steady 14bar in all cylinders, and it's an ex-police car (as in, it was abused, some electrical stuff reworked but left disconnected, and it still does great - I'll fix these and the car will be a dream, since most headaches are on the electrical part, but I did expect that as I had a BK before; did not expect the Police not to hook certain stuff, but that's another story - the mechanical side of it, is perfect, but the electrical is bringing it down, since sensors are electrical and manage mechanical stuff - DUH). It's true, they've had some TSBs, but every manufacturer has them due to the limited R&D period and budget, implementation and rushing Engineers; give Engineers time, money and space and they deliver properly because they're Engineers for a reason, no matter the nationality - engineering is trial and error and learning from previous experience, plus, applying that to your current knowledge. Pointing fingers at this hunger for revenue, when you can instead focus on quality. Some things are limited intentionally, but can be prevented [long live the engineers that make performance parts & tuners], because manufacturers usually make their revenue from parts & fixing cars, not the car sales. Don't go cheap and stupid if you want a great zoom-zoom; it reacts very well to performance adjustments ( the ones done right ). Collaborate with experienced folks (ENGINEERS PREFERRED) that know their stuff, like: - CorkSport [mainly these guys since they're focused on Mazda and they're professional, friendly, and patient] - Cobb [and these guys, they spend plenty on R&D, for multiple manufacturers] - CP&E[specializes in direct injected turbocharged engines] - JBR[drag racer if not mistaken, and the guy had exceeded limits so there's plenty of knowledge] - Experienced tuners [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - can name Justin from Freektune, Cody, Nishan, folks from HPA (they even worked on F1 cars, and we know how advanced these cars are) and I'm sure there are more, but do your research]; Both you and the car will love it. True, it's expensive, but if you want quality, you have to pay, because that person/group invested time, so you're paying for the research, knowledge and materials mostly. If you feel confident that you can catch up with their progress, go wild with a Versatuner. The Mazdaspeed community is tight, we always help each other. To date, I'm still asking myself if people treat their car like their other valuable belongings which they really invest time/money/effort in - education is really important, no matter the industry; focus on you, then on other things - never stop learning and you'll be just fine. Just let that sink in, because the engineers have to think outside the box not to bring what they design out of the desired parameters; mostly, it's the user doing things wrong. The manuals are your best friend, where in fact, they state and highly recommend not RACING the engine (HPFP) - 5500 RPM is safe full stock, above that, it's stupid, you are at a high risk of damaging the car (starvation), which leads to well, we all know - AFR, pressures and fluids to summarize - the harder you slam it without supportive mods, the harder it has to work to provide that and everything has a limit (either mechanical, electrical or design/engineering), and if it lacks a key element, you're in trouble. If there are no limits, it goes out of control and the unexpected happens; this is engineering, and nobody wants the unexpected in engineering. Now sure now how things are now. All I've heard is that Skyactives are efficient and complicated; never drove one, or owned one to have an opinion, but I'm sure Miata's still a mean machine. The bodywork looks ok-ish, but doesn't quite fit their sleeper trump card, because that was their ace - the underdog that swept everyone - I mean, to be so good at something to get banned, it's something extraordinary. TL;DR, dang, and I've tried to summarize as much as possible.
