Tourque Steer can be fun as heck once you get used to it. Nothing like flooring the throttle and going sideways for awhile.

Okay, that front view is gross. It should be painted body color at least.

How about the FT86. It's coming.

go for subaru

can't believe you guys prefer mazda over subaru

the sound of that boxer engine every day would make me come so hard lol

fmicle · 10-01-2010, 06:19 PM

I just got the MS3 last night. All the guys I gave a ride today at work (one owns an Audi S4, another owns a BMW Z4 M and another a BMW 330) said the sounds of the MS3 engine is awesome! It has a deep growl at low RPM that's totally awesome.

And by the way, this car goes, geez; I understand now why they designed the front fascia like that for the 2010 model. That's how my face looks like since last night

By the way, all the professional reviews I have read, prefer the Mazda over the standard WRX (not the STI, which is $10k more expensive and of course better).

One poor picture taken last night in the garage:

Honestly, I couldn't care less. I like to be inside the car most of the time and the view from there is wonderful

And from a close-up it doesn't even look bad, it's not matte black, it's more like dark metallic gray and coated. It's very nice

I'm biased though

LOL, join the club, you're not alone, my wife started the hate club, last night

I got a really good deal (I think), this red one has been sitting on the lot for a few months, so I got it out the door, all fees and taxes included and a LoJack tracking device for under MSRP!!! I got the Tech Package (Push To Start button FTW!!!) They didn't discount the gray and blue ones as much as the red ones, I guess people are scared they would get more speeding tickets. But I really WANTED the red one

They sold 4 MS3's while I was there last night, waiting for my paper-work and the detailing.

So, for me, it worked out perfectly. They said my credit score was so good, I didn't have to do any down payment, so I took it home last night without having paid a penny. God bless the USA!

I thought about trading in the Yaris, but it's not ready to be sold, I still have the Blitz S/C on and the Konigs and the Tokico's and dealers don't care about that, so their offer was too low for my taste. I'm going to try and sell it myself in a few weeks. Since they gave me the loan without any issues I wasn't forced to sell the Yaris before buying the MS3, as I has originally planned, so now I have time to de-mod the Yaris first and then sell it.

redglare45 · 10-01-2010, 06:47 PM

lol...

Sounds like you got a good deal. MS3 + LoJack + the Tech Pkg...under MSRP, sounds pretty good.

That's true, dealers don't care for mods on trade-ins.

Well man, enjoy the new ride. Zoom-Zoom

I've always been a Mazda fan, but is there anyting (aftermarket) that can be done about that f***ing ugly grille?

fmicle · 10-01-2010, 08:12 PM

marcus · 03-08-2011, 08:52 PM
