Changes from 08 to 09 ms3?

[Sport6]

There's an 8track player under the passenger seat in ALL speed3s 07-09.

Sweet, i'm trading in my speed 6 for a speed 3 just for that option.

K-Tel records presents... Best hits of 1981... I had that 8-track.

I think this is highly a matter of opinion. (And for the record, I disagree with your statement about quality.) Unless you have some extremely expensive high quality sound system (and a well trained ear!) in the right listening environment (not a car), a .mp3 file with a bit rate of 192 or 256 kbps is very hard to distinguish from a standard uncompressed wave file. Don't believe me... They have done studies (see below), and in my own personal opinion, at 192 Kbps, I don't notice a signficant difference in any music I have listened too. Check it out:

I'll agree with you, I guess I just have spoiled ears. I can't stand listening to crappy downloaded mp3s, but I will not argue that theres not a huge difference for the average person with the average system. And yeah, I know converting a crap quality mp3 to .wav wont improve it, I was referring to ripped songs from a cd.

The thing I love about this forum is our absolute commitment to staying on topic, haha.

Yes... I do love that staying on topic (Ha!) But seriously I do like the fact that with most of the people here (clearly you included), you can actually disagree without people getting all pissy.

.ogg ftw.

 

[camrycev6]

.ogg ftw.

I honestly can't tell much difference between .ogg and .mp3 (at high bitrates)

Back on Topic:

The 08.5 and 09s have lighted vanity mirrors. The 07-08 do not.

Another difference:

The '07-'08 Mazdaspeed3 Sport and GT have the steering wheel as an option only. It does, however, come standard on the Super Sport Sequential GT Double Secret Probation trim level.
