The 3 is definately a better choice. The toyota yaris wouldnt be able to handle highway driving at 80MPH with its little 1.5L engine. and its a pretty basic car with a lot of stand alone options. Same with the corolla with its 1.8L Biggest thing in my opinion is this. Safety and stopping power...

Nope. We have a few 08's on our lot now and ive been pouring over all the 08 books we have here and there were no changes made in 08 to any of the mazda 3 models.

Thanks! not really in the mood to kill my wife so ill leave those alone. and no, i dont happen to know how much power they draw ill have to find out. Im the type that plans almost everything before buying any materials so ill have to check.

Ok, time for some rumor control...... I work for Mazda and heres the scoop when i asked the Corporate rep. The miata is not going to get the speed motor, it would throw off the weight distribution of the car, the design concept for the miata is not to just go fast but for it to be responsive...

Let me start by saying i know absolutely nothing about how to install electronics. BUT im thinking of adding some interior neon lighting to my 3 and while prodding around my interior the other day i noticed some wires which im guessing go to the sensors in my seats. Does anybody know if that...

Great piece of work! I work at a dealership and found out that this little mod works on almost every 3 out there (doesnt work on the I-sport sedans) But works great on everything else.

Not only will 19's fit but they look pretty good too. I worked for a Mazda dealership and we put 19's on a black MZ3 and lowered it with the mazdaspeed lowering springs and on the tests we didnt have any problems. The rims we put on were Racing Harts and they looked really good on the 3. Gave it...

The S touring is very worth it. I know it seems like between a 2.0 and a 2.3 is a big differance but trust me the major diff is in the tranny. the i series has a 4 speed auto and the s has a 5 speed. but if your going with a manual theres no problem, theyre both 5 speeds. fuel consumption isnt...

Good job, i did almost the exact same thing to my 3HB. However i stopped at the front of my hood and didnt take the stripe down the back. i also did some GTI type striping on my front grill and small stripes on either side of the 6in. ill post pics to show the specifics but anyways you did a...

3M clearbra The 3M clearbra works great and at the last Mazda dealership i worked for put them on the cars. I did a lot of work with the aftermarket guys (i work in sales) and its pretty simple stuff to put on the car. It works exactly like window tint/ vinyle stickers do. Its not the simplest...

rx-7 You guys missed the really pretty red rx-7 twin turbo Vin Deisel drives in the fast and the furious. Its what he races when the guy with the green eclipse blows his engine and they run from the cops.

I love the idea. I own a Black 3 and want to do it on mine. Its great thinking you should be proud of yourself for doing it. looks good too.

The japanese production RX-8 has a 3 rotor engine, and ive seen/heard about 13-b rotorys from rx-7's being moded into 3 rotors. from what i hear they push almost 500HP which is quite a bit. its very possible that they could make a rotory CUV.

i know almost nothing about electronics..... But im good with fiberglass and im going to do a custom install in the back of my 3. i have ordered 2 15" rockford fosgate suvbs and an amp but im thinking about changing my head unit as well. Any suggestions on how to do this without having to do a...

The CX-7 and Speed 3 DO have the same base engine, the MZR 2.3L inline 4 however the tuning is different and they have different components in them. The sluggish lack of power in the CX-7 is commonly known as "turbo lag" or, the time it takes for the turbo to "spool up" and produce its power...
