    Welp, there goes any chances of buying a mazda. They think I’m going to go verify if a given model has this, or expect them not to slip it in eventually.

      Sometimes i think to start a blacklist of car brands, for whenever i end up buying my next car, but i fear it would simply amount to “all of them” in the end.
