PM'ed

Officially introducing myself finally. I've been here for awhile but only for research purposes, now I finally bought a car, 2009 Mazdaspeed 3, CWP. Car came into my hands with 40,800km last Friday with a few choice mods. Jbarone RSB Jbarone shifter bushings Jbarone short shifter K&N short ram...

Sounds good that this isn't the odd MS3 with a leak, and good that Mazda covers it, hopefully they will for mine too.

No one has anything to say about oil leaks?

Not very many MS3's, mostly Proteges. But I do see what I need I think, some of the cars are showing that kind of rubbing that I see in the car I'm looking at. Now for the oil leak. Are anyone having any similar issues, I'm guessing timing chain cover or head gasket.

Looking at a MS3, mostly stock except for Fujita CAI and grounding kit. The plastics surrounding the IC are rubbed smooth. A little worried that the last guy probably raped the car on the road, causing the engine to rock back and forth so much that the plastic has been rubbed smooth. Second...

I'm not sure BCM would look good on a MS3. Not enough paint real estate on a MS3.

I've seen a handful of white ones for sale, definitely not as plentiful as say black though. I let a white one go last November because its been in a $12,000 accident, just didn't want to risk it.

Did they ever sell it here? I know its mostly US residents here, but it doesn't hurt to ask right? I mean I've NEVER seen a Black Cherry MS6 here, NEVER, not talking about for sale, I have never even seen one. From the ones that I see on sale, at least 50% of them are black, which I don't...

Quick question, is there one available for the Speed6? I tried searching but nothing came up, only stuff came up for the regular FWD 6

Is there a way around to NOT use that flat key that comes with the Speed6? I love the car, yet find the key really unaesthetically-pleasing. I already talked with the dealer and they said programming one of the new keyfobs from the new MS3 is impossible, just wondering what you guys think...

Really? Some Chevrons around here sell 94... Some Petrol Canadas do too, not all though. I'm from Vancouver by the way. Maybe Toronto is being shafted.... but ur gas is cheaper than ours by a LONG shot. Its currently 110.9 outside... fail

Understeer huh? I've seen understeer, I drive a SUV, nothing fazes me LOL. Nothing a rear sway can't fix. I'll be here for sure if I do pick that white MS6 up.

I'm not fond of an engine transplant either, but whatever... Also, how well does the suspension and drivetrain hold up on the MS6? Any issues I should be aware of? And also known rattles and squeaks?

I already have a car in mind, though some feedback would be great! Its a lease takeover, 07 pearl white MS6 with leather. $519 a month, 15000 residual and if I take over, he will pay me $1000. The owner said he's been in one minor parking lot accident that totaled to $2500(seems kinda high to...
