Well, for the time being I am passing on the Si. I been reading about to many issues with the transmission. If the dealer does not accept my offer for the incoming red MS3 I plan on either getting a little EX Civic to do my day to day errands in or possibly the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe. It is...

If a dealer would not permit me to test drive ANY vehicle I was seriously considering purchasing I would tell the dealer to his face to shove the car up his/her ass and walk out.

Just go to Tirerack.com and plug in your car. You can pick the color and click on there wheels to see what you like.

I drove a MS3. More power than the Si? Yes of course. More fun? No way. Different strokes for different folks. Torque steer was a noticeable issue right off the bat. There are a lot of nice cars for sale in the price range of 20-25K. Getting hung up on one particular model can cause a person to...

I am in the same boat and can not decide. I just sold a Corvette (01) and we already own a 2006 Civic. I like the Civic a lot! Style, shape, dash, fit and finish, etc. I am waiting for the dealer to get in a Red MS3 before I decide. I will not pay MSRP and he may not sell it to me for less so in...

Thanks for the responses. I think when the red one comes in I will just hold firm for 24K. But I will give the dealership a fair option, either sell me that one for 24K or order me an 08 for the same price. Seeing how this will be a straight up deal with no trade or financing they may just do it...

I went and looked at a black MS3 today. Nice but not my choice of color. The dealer has a red one due in next month and it has the Grand Touring package on it. Since I will not be trading in another vehicle I was wondering if any of you had luck negotiating the price downwards on these? I am...

What type of gains can you expect if you add the Mazda cold air intake to a totally stock engine?

Actually our prices tend to be lower in the long run than most other states because we do not pay sales tax and our 2 year DVM fees runs about $200. Heck, even our gas is lower. I filled up the Civic at Costco yesterday for something like $2.58 a gallon. But I would not be against flying to the...

Thank you for providing this information. I can get the Si Sedan (no nav) out the door for 21K and the MS3 for about 26K (dealer only orders them with the ST package-no nav). I don't doubt for a minute the MS3 isn't worth the extra 5k it just a matter of me deciding if I want to spend it! I...

My local Mazda dealer told me today when I stopped by for a brochure they would be produced for 2008 and he could take orders starting in June.

Would it be reasonable to expect $1,000 off the MSRP? Or are these cars really hard to come by?

I used Rhino ramps for my 01 Corvette. If I could get a Vet on them without scraping you can get a Speed3 onto them. Picked them up at Wal Mart for about 35 bucks.

I am new here and after reading this post I have a question. I am in the process of looking at cars and have narrowed my choices down to either a 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan or the 2008 Mazda Speed 3. My local Honda dealer told me no significant changes were coming out in 08 for the Si. Does...
