I'm in love. :D

Wow that's a good review.

[DaveLC2]

I love this car too :P I went to the Mazda/Subaru dealership in Walnut Creek last week to check one out but they won't be getting their 1st two for another 2 or 3 weeks and they are both sold :shock: It would be sweet if they did an awd version. Then it would be like a 323 GTX all over again. I'd take this over a Neon SRT-4 any day. I even like the Mazdaspeed6 but it's a chunky monkey :lol: Do they even make the 6 in speed trim anymore???

yeah they still have a mazdaspeed 6.

[RgistRdShowoffIX]

^ but does it have 6spd. ;)

I think I'm just wanting a fun car to drive around SC since the Evo's at home..

I killed the CRV's brakes the other day on a touge run with soem friends. lol Yeah we've nothign better to do...
:? not gonna do that for a while... x.x

[AWDrift]

i think the mazdaspeed 6 has a 6 speed. and to be a true 6, it should have 6 doors, 6 turbos, 6 ic's, 6 wheels, and 6 everything else xD

[RgistRdShowoffIX]

:lol:


wise guy. ;)

article actually says that the MPS6 still maintains a 6spd.

[AWDrift]

idk about the 6 being able to match the CR-V in the touge's though.

The capabilities of the MS3 looks good but it doesn't look very appealing to me. I was never a fan of the 3 hatchback and so this car, which may be a good value, is not really something I'd buy or even consider. Plus for its size, the thing is a porker weighing in at over 3000 lbs.

[AWDrift]

yeah, and it makes about 30+ more hp than a neon srt-4, and 30+ tq. yet its still a tiny bit slower 0-60. but like you said, it is pretty heavy so that comes into play of performance, but IMO it looks a bit better than the srt-4.

[RgistRdShowoffIX]

+1.

I wonder what I could take out. prolly all teh sound proofing and the 6cd changer. ;)

haha I hope it doesnt match the CRV. :shock:

I really like the Mazda 3. My co-worker has the 5-door one and the leather interior is pretty nice. It has side air-bags, front and rear, so that's a plus in my book.

[vtluu]

Pretty sweet. Wish it wasn't wrong-wheel-drive though, though it looks like Mazda has done a lot of work to allow it to put down power in front. I'll bet it handles a lot better than the 300-hp Dodge Caliber SRT4. Certainly looks 1000% better, anyway.

Now if they would just put that same amount of power in the new MX-5 (and make a coupe version), they would leave the Solstice GXP and Sky Deadline in the dust...

[Mystique]

I'm impress with the car, it's really good value for the money.

[Liquid-R1]

BTW, MS6's are going for REALLY cheap. Last I looked (about a month ago) they were going for about 7k below invoice....

[RgistRdShowoffIX]

hmm. slow sales?

Oh and about the MPS6... I seem to remmeber a boost problem a while back. Something about the cars going into caution mode and cutting off more than half the engine power. :shock:

[oct7th1987]

wow.. very impressed with the mazdaspeed 3. it stops within a foot of the Evo from 60-0?! wow.

Word.

[KareBearPowa]

Man I really like the looks of the rear on the MS3. If it was AWD I would be all over it.
