Steve McIntyre has examined the Climategate connection more thoroughly I have space for here. You can read his inspired sleuthing , , and . I certainly agree with his assessment that UEA's decision to recruit a man like Wallis represents a very strange use of public money. Surely, if you were an academic institution of genuine probity your first priority were one of your departments (in this case the CRU) to be implicated in skullduggery would be to investigate the allegations properly, rather than see it as a PR issue to be covered up by a hard man from the world of rock n roll and tabloid newspapers.

Dynamically speaking, the latest Mazda3 is a competent performer. Even on optional 18in wheels it absorbed the few bumps we could find on our Spanish test route with no fuss at all, and what body roll it does have is gathered up before it causes any problems. Grip from the 215/45 Dunlop Sportmaxx tyres is excellent, allowing this seemingly humble car to resist understeer with uncanny determination. Whats more, the steering is quick and even has a little bit of feel to it, and the car turns in and changes direction with the enthusiasm of a Focus. It is very polished, bordering on fun.
