I've been looking to replace my wife's car for a while now. First I was set on a CX-7, but she ended up hating the feel of an SUV (she loves being low to the ground and having more "agility"). So tomorrow I'm headed to a dealership to see about getting a Comet Gray 2009 Mazda6 i Grand Touring...

I'm pushing to get a CX-7 for my wife to compliment my Mazdaspeed3 in our garage. Hoping to get an '08 GT for under $26k - you guys think this is do-able?

Add me to the Nikon fanboy list. Woulda loved to get the D80 but settled for a D60. After ~4000 shots in the last 3 months I'm still loving it. Next on the list is a 55-200mm lens. Between the MS3, camera stuff, and PCs I'm so broke :(

Put me in the ring for hosting as well. Would love to get that.

You may want to wait a few months for the supposed refresh on the WRXs - extra hp + better suspension. Personally, I chose the MS3 over a WRX ~6 months ago because of price + performance. Being that I'm in SoCal, the lack of AWD wasn't that big of a deal (although launching the MS3 is nearly...

I wish everyone had that mindset, but unfortunately there's quite a few of them "fanboys" all over. Kudos to Subaru if this is all true, pretty much sounds like an about-face from what the '08s ended up as.

I paid $22,500 before taxes (~$24000 OTD) for my '08 Cosmic Blue Mica SPORT. $500 more for a GT? Go for it.

:D

Spent a few hours washing my CB today, figured some pics were in order.

Would you recommend the Fujita over a Cobb SRI? After I've got some funds I was looking at the Cobb SRI, a new BPV (haven't decided which), and possibly an ETS TMIC. Would you consider those to be decently "easy" installs without lengthy removals? Not wanting to spend a day putting my MS3 back...

My wife wasn't 100% sold on the MS3 when I was car shopping. It was during Christmas time and I had a few weeks off so while she was working I'd been going to dealerships and trying to find that "perfect" car (which to her meant reliable, cheap, and efficient). After driving the MS3 I just had...

Ticking 13k miles after ~6 months of ownership here in the next week or two and I still get a goofy grin every time I turn the key in my '08 MS3. True, paying $4.85/gal this morning really hurt (especially considering my 70mi/day commute) but I've started coasting a bit slower on the freeway on...

If you're ever way up in Ventura County check out Auto Obsessionz. I took my MS3 to them and they did a good job. They use 3M tint and cut it with the machine, no knife taken to the car - 805-987-8030.

I just filled out a survey from Mazda about my MS3 purchase last year. I made it very clear that I would be more than willing to drop an extra $2k or so on an AWD MS3. Lets hope they listen to us!

11k, she turned 5 months old a week ago.

I've missed the 2 -> 3 shift a handful of times, both before + after the CS MM inserts + TWM bushings. Sometimes its just not there, or it grinds slightly :(

Mine went away by ~1500 miles. It was so loud, though, scared the crap outta me the first few times.

Welp, about 350 miles later and I'm loving the TWM STS w/ bushings. Can't believe how much more crisp shifting feels - could also be due to the CS MM inserts I installed at the same time :D

I do ~2k/mo with a 70 mile roundtrip commute Mon -> Fri. So far I average anywhere from 22mph to 28mpg depending on how much fun I have.

Yeah, I didn't know if I'd want to keep the wheels on my CB - but after getting it tinted I think it looks pretty good. If anything powder-coating them slightly would be it. And yeah, what % did you get? Looks pretty dark. Me likey :D
