My MAZDASPEED3 has had no mechanical problems

[KaiserSoze]

Seems that everyone who comes on the forum sees 10,000,000 threads about tranny mounts, turbo seals, etc. breaking. How about a thread about all of us who have had no breakage. Aside from a freak rear windshield that was scratched to hell from the factory that was replaced under warranty my MS3 has had zero problems. I love driving this car and getting 24 mpg. That's what I averaged in my '00 Civic and this is WAAAAYYY more fun that that thing ever was. I won't even go into how much my '90 300ZX TT loved premium. This car mixes the performance of the Z with the economy of the Civic with way more practicality than both.

At any rate, back on topic...nobody posts about "Hey I drove 25 miles today and had zero problems" so lets get this one going.

23k no problems other then the recalls, just need new tires cause their done lol

 

[Coolfactor]

9000 miles, 1 CEL (bad purge valve) and 2 recalls. Other than that it's been perfect. I just wish the ECU maps would be more friendly and deliver more oomph in the cold.. I hope that's something the AP will take care of. (burnout)

just hit 1200 miles in my 08 black mica sport, loving every minute of it (except for the emotional ECU). nothing wrong mechanically at all, I just have to get less heavy shoes (drive2)(yippy)(bow)
