Hmm... Is the delay caused by the fact that it's drive-by-wire, or is that just how it's built? Could the throttle be replaced or fixed via ECU reflash/hack?

I was seriously looking at the 3, but this throttle thing has me looking elsewhere I'm afraid...

My wrx has been in the shop for 3 weeks now and I've had to drive an automatic minivan. Besides the part about it being a minivan, it's only cemented the fact that I'll never drive automatic again...

Where'd you get that from? Yeah, I had specifically commented on the temp controls in another thread. Wow, the good 'ole knobs eh? /ho-hum...

I really like the dash, actually. I'm tired of the "same old, plain old" 2-knob fan red/blue temp control unit that's standard on every car you can shake a stick at. :rolleyes: Also, the spot for the LCD is sweet, because even if you don't purchase the navigation option, you could buy an LCD...

My '93 Probe was the most reliable ride either I or my parents have had. Only fix I needed to apply was a little piece of foam above the air intake; other than that, Ford didn't issue any recalls etc. for the vehicle. I drove that puppy like it was stolen every time I buckled up and turned on...

That is the right car at the right price. Hope they sell like hotcakes. The only thing I don't like nowadays is pairing the moonroof with the sound system, which is standard across manufacturers. What does having a hole in your ceiling have to do with music? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the tip, will do! :)

Forrester XT should easily do 0-60 in the mid-5's; I thought at recent review put it at .1 seconds behind the Porsche Cayenne. That is much crazier faster...

Resembles the Nissan Murano. (Especially from the back.) Anyone agree? I saw a white Murano at the store the other day, and I instantly thought "Hmm, looks like the Mazda 3." The Mazda 3 hatch only has 1 tailpipe, but put two on and it looks fairly similar. btw - I think the Murano is the...

Not to go off topic, but what do you currently drive? I currently drive a wrx and am looking to possibly get something cheaper. Have always liked Mazdas/proteges (my friend has a miata and I had a probe) and am seriously looking at the new 3 as a replacement for the wrx. AWD is great for...

Wow - if really no one likes the styling of the 3 hatch, do you think it will be offered on the cheap in a few years?

I had a 93 I4 Probe that was rated at 114 HP, but I'm not sure if it had a 2.0l engine or not.
