    Octane levels

    Here in GA when we were having our gas shortages I had to run 87 for about a week. I only filled up 1/4 tank and had no problems. I was real easy on the throttle though.

    What to Look for in a used Mazdaspeed3

    I have had my 07 for 1.5 years and it has been dead reliable as a DD. I had to do a flash update and the bolt recall but that is about it. You can get 30 mpg at highway speeds if you drive like granny. I tend to get about 26-27 mpg in mixed driving. This car blows the doors off my old...

    thinking that i jumped the gun on the MS3

    Bingo best advice so far. The debt will not be as much problem (as long as your debt to income ratio is within the lending limits). In today's climate you will need a good 20% down to get into a conventional loan with the best rates. Cash is king.

    Potential Mazdaspeed3 buyer

    Love my Speed for the past 1.5 years. I like getting stopped in parking lots being asked questions about it. It does not draw attention like the Evo which is a plus. MPG-25 daily driver (mixed driving) and 30 mpg on the highway. I have had Hondas and to me they just feel cheaper than the...

    "S" plan pricing the same as invoice?

    S plan here. I liked the in and out policy without the haggle.

    What's with these used MS3s?

    I have had mine a year now and still love it. My other car I considered was a Boxster S and thought the 3 handled just as well and thought the braking was equal. I play music for fun so I have to haul around gear often. You can't beat the hatch for that. Another poster mentioned the $400...

    Lets see what everyone drove before getting the MS3

    I don't know. I kinda like the look of the HHR. I like the spaciousness of the interior. I have not seen an SS yet.

    Average Spent on Gas

    I get 300 miles to the tank when driving the back roads during the week. For the past few weeks I have been doing all interstate and was consistently hitting 350 miles per tank. My best was 360 miles. The best my computer has shown is 32 for interstate. I have found it to be about 2 miles...

    Why thank you. I always have been attracted to European women. Especially the ones that speak broken English (rlaugh)

    Was anyone gonna buy a 3, not ms3?

    My wife had a 3 hatch before I got my MS3. I liked her car. It had a little different feel with its lighter weight.

    Sunroofs?

    This makes sense. I guess this is why the Corvette Z06 is a sunroof delete.

    cracked oil housing...problem...

    Hey good looking car. My wife had the 2.3 and I really liked it. It felt more tossable compared to the MS3 because of the lower weight. Let us know how everything turns out.

    cracked oil housing...problem...

    Sorry to here about your situation. Bad idea to stop paying on the car. If the MS3 is repossessed your situation will go from bad to worse. You probably owe a lot more on the car than what it is worth. With a blown engine the car could only be sold for salvage at auction. The bank will come...
