So, is it just a bunch of BS from mazda that they limited it to 155 or is the speedo off on said MS3?

I am happy to report that I am getting 30mpg highway.

I am happy to report that city mileage is about 22mpg with pushing the car a little harder than I would normally drive. I will report on highway mileage aftrer my trip this weekend.

It will be well worth the wait.

Thank you for clarifying my fuzzy memory, msp35! The power issue was what I remember getting a thrashing. Not that it isn't a fast, powerful car but it could have been better in the power department.

I remember the MSP getting totally trashed by some of the publications out there as well... maybe I don't remember correctly...

I haven't noticed the torque limiting in first or second. Ther is still plenty of power in those gears. I don't plan to push it much harder than I already have because I like keeping my money instead of giving it to local law enforcement. :) It feels pretty good over bumps. It is noticeable...

Point well taken. I don't remember the MS6 being so hyped up in the car publications as the MS3 though. Only time will tell. If people can get deals on this great car - all the better!

I finally got my Black Mica MS3 GT last night after waiting what seemed like an eternity. Here is my .02 and review o fthis amazing piece of machinery. I started out with a cruise through the city. Handling was nice and smooth even on some quiter rough streets. I was skeptical of the...

I've posted on this before. Mazda is 'trickling' the MS3 into the USA to allow delaers time to sell them if they aren't presold. They are also doing it this way to keep interest and demand high. With the MS3, they aren't doing a single, big production run. They aren't dumping 5 of them at a...

Paid MSRP out the door for mine in Madison, WI. They won't be getting any more until February! I also got the 7yr/100K bumper to bumper (I am able to cancel it at any time and get money back) warranty because paying for repairs isn't my idea of fun.

So the consensus is: 215/50r17 for winter tires.

Test driving is a privelege, not a right. The dealer does not have to give you a test drive. Of course they will most likely lose business if they don't offer test drives.

Welcome! I just bought and will be taking delivery of my MS3 GT tomorrow. As long as the truck shows up before noon....

Straight from a dealership owner that I know: A car can no longer be sold as 'new' once it has been titled. SO if a MS3, for example, was test driven extensively at a dealereship and had 500 miles on it they could sell it as new as long as it was never titled at the DMV.

MSRP out the door on my GT wihtout NAV. The dealership wanted to make sure that they had all 5 of theirs sold before they arrive. Still patiently waiting until Oct. 30!!

This thread is getting lame already. I have quit caring if his dyno is real or not. Obviously some of you care too much about whether it is real or not. Who cares, I'm done with this topic. Hope you all sort it out eventually.

I know most people mean it as a joke.... But I must add that there were absolutely no MS3's on the Cougar Ace. There were a ton of regular 3's on it though...

Heh. I have a signed contract for $20.5k without VIN on a Black Mica GT. And it was the salesman's idea in case something hapened to the car during shipping I wouldn't be obligated to buy a damaged car.

You haven't proved anything but I believe that you are correct after further inspection of the dyno charts. It looks like they are reversed - at the bare minimum. Maybe this guy was 'experimenting' with photoshop:)
