Mickey Kaus reviews my new car. I love my Mazda 3, but I nod in agreement at his thoughts on cornering — it’s got a wide turning radius that takes some getting used to.
I take pride in being a pretty good parker — it’s amazing the things one can form a self-image on; for me it’s parking skill and George Foreman Grill jujitsu — but when I got the Mazda I became the world’s worst parker for a few weeks. Turning into narrow spots was an adventure there for a while.
