40,000!!!

maybe you all should start boosting in reverse...bring down them mileage!! lol
 
Well I guess I can say welcome to the 40k+ club but you are about 6 thousand miles behind me LOL I have about 46k on mine.
 
Almost 31k. So far the engine fell once, had the turbo replaced because I was losing oil somewhere and it will be going back to the dealer this week cause I'm still losing oil somewhere, about a qt every 800 miles. I got it on January 18, 2007.
 
i'd like to update mine ... i think my motor mount is broken seems like more movement than normal an awful bang noise the other day and i got a thud noise going real hard from first to second ... stay tuned

What a shame, good luck my friend. Anyways I have 1,800 miles on me baby.
 
My car is holding up great, it was acting a little funny around 20k miles, but it was only for one night, I had a cylander missfire around 38k miles, but put some octane booster in the tank and it never came on again. If it wasn't for the cheapest paint in the world, my car would run and look like brand new.
 
Just broke 10,000 myself

Just broke the 40,000 mile marker on my 2007 Mazdaspeed3 on 08/26/08. Just wondering who all has more miles than me so I can feel better about it. thanks

So have you had any major/minor issues in 40,000?

No major issues at all. I've also been a safe modder, but my next mod might be the CP-E DP. Turbo seems to be holding up great, I am getting Zero smoke out of the exhaust, the only thing I have noticed is that the car is running rich like all mazdaspeed3's so my tailpipe gets the worst of that.

I'm actually still on my stock tires and they are not even close to bald yet!! strang for a tire with such a low tread rating.

Do all colors have just as poor paint jobs?
Can't do clear bra on the whole car!
Shopping and leaning towards Met Gray.
I think the lack of color choice is the weakest point when looking to buy a new MS3...Another blue is needed!

Yeah, I'm not sure about the year, but I think it was 2006 when congress passed the law that automakes can not use any lead in there car paints, so its a water based paint. It's not just mazda, its all the car companies, most likely your 2005 any model car will have better looking paint than any car after that year.
 
Bought mine in oct 06, have 15k on it now. Had to buy a new battery yesterday, we only have 1 yr warranty on these then it is pro rated, dealer wanted to tow car in to check it out, i just got a new red top instead. That and a busted coolant hose are the only real issues i've had (touches his head).
