Sold my Evo for an MS3 :) lol

Hello Everyone,

As the title states I recently sold my evo (you can see it here http://forums.evolutionm.net/sale-cars-sale/381113-evoangels-silver-mr-se-f-s.html) and picked up a brand new 2009 White MS3.

Let me first say that I LOVE this car!! I can't lie.... I was a little worried at first that I'd be very disappointed after owning my Evo, but the MS3 has surpassed my expectations and I am completely in love. So why did I sell my Evo?? I needed more SPACE. I have a couple dogs that did not fit well in the Evo. Also I rescue dogs at any given time and it was just a pain getting in and out of the Evo. It was also a pain in my @ss to clean!! The MS3 is not only versitile to meet all my space needs.... but it's SO easy to clean! I can't express how much I love this car =)

I look forward to becoming part of the community as I have with the Evo community. Thanks for reading :)

Welcome aboard! I went from a WRX to the MS3 and love the hatchback. I have hauled several things that would have never been possible in a sedan. Its also very fun to drive, so enjoy!

Edit: And while I've never been a fan of EVO's, I'll give props to you because yours looks pretty clean.
 
Wow you made the worst mistake of your life. i love mine but i came from a spec v. s*** i might be trading mine in for an Evo.Wrong move guy but Goodluck. BTW your Evo is HAWT
 
lol Some things are more important than cars.... like my dogs. The Evo was a great car and I loved it and I felt like I made a mistake everyday until the day I got my MS3. I have no regrets.... and I'm not a guy lol

P.s. There were 2 Evo's in my driveway.... and I sold one ;)
 
Sorry but i hope you've made a good choice. Dont expect to go much faster than it is now without saving for a built motor but like i said goodluck.
BTW women who drive Evos are sexy. Got damn i wish i wouldve met you. LOL Enjoy
 
^ You mean sista!!! lol

I say the MS3 is staying stock for a little while besides tint and HID's..... but we'll see :)

haha, you are off the hook man,

i agree with him

gotta get some springs. that takes away alot of the tq steer, gets rid of the floaty feel, front end lift on hard accel, aa good bit of wheel hop, and plants the car. giving it the stance it yerns for

oh and WELCOME. i have a G35 as well and the MS3 has made me want to upgrade the G to a better car b/c the MS3 is faster and better in every way except for the FWD.

i feel like my G is pointless to have now, i drive my MS3 much more and love it more. i didnt think that was going to happen

Thanks :) I meant to add coilovers to my list too... lol
 
so now do you have to change your name to MS3angel? or speedangel?

welcome... i just bought one for my wife (and me, of course), and so far, i can't get behind the wheel enough. i wasn't prepared for how addictive this thing is to drive!
 
You won't be disappointed with the MS3 at all. The cabin will treat you much better than the evos ever did and it won't beat up on you or your dogs on rougher roads. The MS3 is a nice compromise between performance and everyday driver. If you want a little more performance out of it without losing your warranty snag the new Mazdaspeed CAI which gives you some really nice hp gains compared to other more expansive mods. The car is also reliable i have an '07 sport with 30K+ miles and I haven't had any problems at all except for a CEL or two which were all covered by warranty. Plus I average 25mpg on mixed driving which is nice on the wallet as well. Enjoy! I would've gotten white had they had it available in the US for '07. But oh well.

LOL Good call.... Maybe I will change it :) It's just a pain because everything is registered under the other name.... lol

Yeah I'm def not disappointed... The rawness of the Evo never bothered me... I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. The only factor that made me switch is the space.

Thanks for the warm welcome and all the great advice/input :)
 
damn man, are you being very light with the foot.

im averaging between 16-18. im not hard all the time. but i like to hear my intake, turbo and bov. so i hit it hard sometimes

but i just jut my best mpg with my driving style which was 130miles to a half a tank but normally its around 100miles per half a tank
 
oh yeah 2 thumbs up for doing the dog rescue thing also! if this board had rep points you would get one from me
