    My new velocity red mica 13 Speed3!!!

    This thing should provide years of entertainment! Glad I bought it over the Jetta GLI. So much more power it isn't funny. And I for one actually like the looks of it.....Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, it's dark here. I cleaned my garage some after taking the pics.....I promise.

    Best price on a new 2013 Speed3?

    I'm seeing some stores advertise about $2600 off MSRP, but then they say price doesn't include freight, but freight is on the window sticker!!! I see Edmunds shows they have $1500 dealer incentive on 2013's, I expect even more on 2012's, but probably not worth taking the hit for that little...

    Found a 97 626 V6 5 speed 150k miles...

    Should I be afraid? We bought one new in 96, didn't keep it long probably because it was gold. This one is rosewood/dark brown. Original owner, 150k miles. I remember these having expensive distributor issues, not sure what else to look for. I'm also looking at a 00 Contour SVT with 145k...

    Looking at buying a "new" car

    Well, after 3 months, I finally sold my 99 Trans Am. Finally got tired of the spending money trying to go faster thing only to cause other things to break. It's inevitable when you fool with performance parts past bolt ons. So, I'm a car enthusiast freak who has "owned" over 50 cars since 93...

    Any reason to want 07 over 05 Mazda3S?

    Looking at two, not sure I want the 05 S hatch. I like the looks of the S sedans better and wonder if they're less prone to squeaks and rattles as just about all my previous hatches have been plagued with them. I did drive one used 05 or 06 S hatch about a year ago that didn't have any, I just...

    First ever praise for stock MS3 shifter!!

    I don't think I've ever heard someone say good things about it, even owners! I didn't think it was horrible but check this vid out - prolly old repost, but I'd old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdmrq8-2I4U

    What's your MPG?

    Ok, our first tank we had to use the AC and sit idling in car pool for 30 minutes plus a day since the windows were tinted and couldn't roll them down, so we only managed 20.8 mpg. This 2nd tank I just filled up tonight, which was 80-85% stop and go driving we got 27.8 MPG!!!!! Can't wait for...

    Just bought a 09 Mazda5 sport 5 speed!!

    We just picked it up last night, our 3rd Mazda purchase from Capital Mazda in Cary. We've bought a 04 Mazda6 wagon 5 speed and a 06 Mazdaspeed6 there. We've also owned a 05 Mazda6 wagon auto that we bought used. My first Mazda was back in 94, a MX3 GS 5 speed. Later on I bought a 95 Mazda...

    What's with the used MS3's?

    I have recently noticed a few used MS3's for sale, which I thought very odd as limited as I thought they were. I work at a Chrysler dealer and we got two and sold both of them in the same month, our local Mazda dealer has a 07 silver one with cloth, and I found another silver GT. I got rid of...

    Just bought a 06 MS6 last Wed.

    Hey guys, just found the forum. Glad to be here. Really liking the car with the exception of the Taurus feeling seats and Type R shift knob. Planning on a Voodoo spun aluminum shifter ball. I did the free airbox mod, pretty much identical to my wife's M6 wagon. I hope to get some pics this...
