I just got my 3!!

[Jdm_Mica]

Picked it up today from the dealership and I have to say I am in love with this car. It is a Black Mica 2008 2.3l Touring hatch. I will post pics up this Thursday once I get it washed and tinted.
Here are a few pics of my neon that I traded in towards the 3.

Glad to join the 3 family!

I took car to dealership and got 20% tint all around and washed her up. Here are a few pics from today. Girlfriend ordered me the "AXELA" jdm badge and I might get the headlights and tails tinted this week. Here are the pics:

I hit 100 miles this afternoon...

Stupid question but the pic of the dash: the 1 shown is telling you the actual gear that the automatic is in? hmm didnt know auto's had that... kewl..

It's probably "sport" auto that allows you to pick the gear, so it helps to know which gear you're in

. . . absolutely correct, 5 or 6 speed 'sport',
- alls yah hafta remember is it forward, or back, to change gears in manual mode ? (hand) (dunno)

In manual mode you shift the gear towards the back of the car and to downshift you shift up yowards front. Its a pretty cool feature that I use on long straightaways...

nice choice congrats on the 07...when i got my 04 hatch i had the choice between my 3 or a 04 civic SI hatch,whitch was a 5 or 6spd mtx i chose the 3 all around the car had more space it was even quicker than the SI, i thought, could be wrong though.To me the 3 felt quicker and for the money i got more for what i paid for.The SI was the same price but didnt seem as well equipt as my 3. My 3 even had less mileage as well for the money and year so i felt like i made a good choice i mean i know hondas will run forever but i liked the 3 alot more and i get more room, features and even a faster car but not by much i dont have a turbo....Does your car only go to 4 on the dash when you drive in AT mode or man. mode? Mine only goes to 4...
