What have you done to your MS3 today?

[bradboyd80]

the thing that pisses me off completly about the new one is the blue.... its a nice color but.... RED INTERIOR?? come on now that looks retarded..

It flows with all the other colors but not blue.

It does clash a little bit, but I really wanted that tech package. I checked out two blacks, a red, two silvers, and the blue. Blue was the only one that had it. Its also subtle. Its not an "in your face" red. LOL

Gave her a tune up, cleaned intake filter, lubricate bov, and rotated tires.

I wish I could get past that ugly grin that the 2nd gen has.. I love all the new technology goodies it has.

I love that the round fog lights are back and that they've added a functional scoop, if only for the MS. But I agree with you 100%, and so do nearly all of the automotive journalists. Too smiley and too bulbous looking.

Installed Forge v1 BPV.

Honestly, it's not that bad. I agree that the 1st Gen is more simple and clean, but the new body style really is better in person.

took part of the dash apart to get a stink bug out of an unreachable space

Aw, come on.....the interior is NOT that bad. The red is subtle! LOL. I just wish it didn't clash with the exterior color.

Function-Over-Fashion is strictly what the 2nd Gen is based on. The wild styling increases aerodynamics and cooler intake sourcing, and the interior is god-awful but MORE supportive and comfortable. Your ass sits on the seat, you don't stare and look at it. Although, you do look at the door trim and dash, but that could be changed if necessary.

I'm not defending it because I have a 2nd Gen now, but it definitely is something I had to take into consideration. The interior wasn't a deal breaker. The tech package is SICK!!!

Hmm...maybe they are leaving some room for a refreshed model before they do another redesign, like the first gen's 08.5.

Different strokes, I suppose. I live right down the road from a Mazda dealer.. so I see them all the time in person. Not a fan.

But if you are, all the more power to you! Congrats on your new car.

I definitely understand. Thanks!!

I was afraid of that after getting mine, but i'll live. No biggie.
