Manual belts are far better (lower center of gravity too without all that weight hanging over your head...) I think Mazda did the auto belts to make unsuspecting drivers think that they were about to be decapitated by the belts (I feel like that every time I get in my '91).

Actually I think they did it to keep from having to install air bags (some passive restraint requirement or something).

What color is your interior? If it is blue, stick with blue, if black, how will you replace the "A" pillar trim?
