Okay, sat in the car (CB Sport) today at the dealer and fired it up. Haven't paid for it yet and had the kids with me so no test drive, yet. Sounds good, rumbly just like in the vids, but by no means loud. Interior room is fine. Fit and finish is the same as the MS6. No one-touch up/down...

A guy on another forum got to inspect and ride in an MS3 at an LA dealer. The dealer had a $1500 markup and it wasn't the guy's color or trim choice. Since he wasn't going to buy it, he passed up a chance to drive it "out of respect for the future owner." The salesman took him for a spin anyway...

Alright, a small number of people including myself have managed to get dealers to commit to S-Plan pricing on cars to be delivered in Dec/Jan. One or two might even be getting S-Plan on cars in the batch currently being delivered, but I'm not talking about that. Anyway, a CT Mazda salesman...

Here's the skinny on the Nov C&D review of the MS3. Very good review overall, well-written with touches of Top Gear color. For example: "The Verdict: Mazda's minute wagon gets drunk on boost without losing it's balance." They had a tough time figuring out how to get the best drag strip times...

To everyone who still hasn't gotten used to the high engagement point of the clutch, it is easy to adjust. Remember, this is clutch, an important part of your car and expensive to repair if you screw it up. So make sure you scope out the situation completely and all that before you do it. Search...

Sorry if this is old news, but I've seen threads where people said they asked engineering professors about the difference between torque and horsepower and couldn't get a good answer. Anyway, I was out running the other morning thinking about this and some good imagery came to me that helped me...

God, I love these hardware pix. So I thought I'd share. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2230297

In Ward's article discussing specs and the impending launch of the MS3, Mazda exec is quoted as follows: "Last fall the turbocharged version of the Mazda6 midsize sedan, the Mazdaspeed6, went on sale in the U.S. Although OSullivan characterizes sales as 'OK,' he says the auto maker is pleased...

Did everybody else already see this? http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_geneva/mazda/mazdaspeed3/pages/04.htmIn the hatchback no less! Let's see, if I can get my wife to get rid of the minivan, she can drive the 6 'cause she says the 3 is to small . . . Red, I'm definitely getting red...

It caught my eye in the MS6 vs. TXS thread that another poster saw fit to gripe about the auto climate control feature. It is truly bizarre the way it operates at least now in the cool weather. I'm hoping it is at least functional in the hot TX weather in a few months. Even on manual the temps...

Can anybody tell me if I need to worry about the very strong smell of radiator fluid on my 3-day old MS6? The smell is strong enough that I can't use the fresh air switch on the climate control and my whole garage smells like a radiator pretty much all the time. I have two other new cars and...

Day 2 and I take the wife and kidz out for a cruise in the new MS6. Prior to this I had been babying the engine, but now I wanted my wife to experience the rocket-like acceleration that caused me to dump a perfectly good, plenty quick Altima SE (albeit an automatic, and the stupid door look...
